Comments by "Michael 마익흘 Aronson" (@MichaelAronson) on "Harvard Rescinds Acceptance Of Students Caught Using Racist Memes" video.

  1. "Laughing at racial humor doesn't make you a "bigot."" They weren't denied admission for "laughing." No one can hear laughter over the internet, stupid. You seem triggered by the fact that choices have real-world consequences.

  2. Lives ruined over bigots themselves.

  3. "dark humor" Dr. Strangelove is dark humor. Bigotry is just bigotry.

  4. Harvard doesn't offer classes on how not to be a bigot.
    10
  5. "SJW doesn't stand for kind and caring" Nobody self-identifies as SJW. It's an infantile pejorative.

  6. Because Harvard doesn't like bigots?

  7. They're not laughing anymore.

  8. "Triggered by memes" They're not upset at the memes. They're upset that they might let bigots into their school. "Liberals are such pussies." Then by all means, tell people not to get educated. "TYT fans say the most racist shit" While the trolls definitely seem to be fans of the show, I wouldn't conflate the two.

  9. "offhand jokes" You can keep claiming your bigotry is a joke, but it's still bigotry, bro. Just own up to it.

  10. "Until the left reforms itself from this regressive rhetoric" See? This is what I mean about bigots being afraid of words.

  11. Racists claim to hate political correctness until you use the words "racist" and "bigot." Then suddenly those words are mean and unfair.

  13. "The best part is how some of them want to start a race war" You're talking about yourself, cupcake.

  14. "I explained what dark humour is" Dr. Strangelove is dark humor. Bigotry is bigotry.

  15. "you know who makes assumptions? Bigots." I'm afraid that's not part of the definition of either word. Go get a dictionary.

  16. "you can't call them hateful" Sure you can.

  17. "Safe to say, in a climate of univesities over reacting to shit and being unable to even stop students from illegally detaining their teachers to force them to concede" This has nothing to do with a school admissions office. Read better.

  18. Yeah, this is not a free speech issue. No one is being arrested.

  19. "Want to know what normalizes hate speech? When you cant mock it" This doesn't make sense on multiple levels. I don't even know where to start.

  20. "So when I make jokes with my friends where we all say bigotted things about each other but we all find it funny we are all actually bigots who hate each other, is that the case michael." If you say it about each other, no, but I very much doubt you limit it to yourselves.

  21. "Yes, they are jokes" Yes, bigots can make bigoted jokes, like joking about denying the Holocaust. They're still being bigots. "someone just got expelled from a school for something minor and had their life ruined" Oh shit, it's almost like being a bigot has real-life consequences. "You're anti-free speech" This has nothing to do with free speech. Nobody is being arrested.

  22. "Bigotry may have a clear definition, but it is unclear that those students are bigoted" Because we didn't see the thread. However, it's pretty safe to say that the admissions office of Harvard University is able to use good judgment.

  23. "colleges have been so careful about letting in bigots" Sweety, we're talking about Harvard.

  24. "Oh, you are right." Thanks.

  25. "it's unreasonable for any one person to decide where the line is." That's true. Thankfully, the definition of bigotry is pretty clear.

  26. "Apparently censorship" They didn't censor anyone. Those kids can still be bigots on Facebook.

  27. "people shouldnt assume dark humour means your a bigot" Dr. Strangelove is dark humor. Making jokes about the Holocaust makes you a bigot.

  28. "Shielding your students from "dark humour"" No students are being shielded. The applicants are not being accepted.
