@eggnchip I'm still not sure she wasn't trolling David, but she sounded so sincere in her stupidity I think it was a real call. Hopefully she'll take another class next semester that will make her rethink this silly (and dangerous) notion.

@KPITGangsta Bigotry is when we hold a strong opinion about something most often with a negative bias. One can be bigoted about many things like religion or politics or a group of people that share a physical, mental or emotional trait or characteristic. If that thing is race than than bigotry is racial and we end up with the term Racism meaning racially biased bigotry. If you want to excuse your racism find some other reason or better yet, own your ugly.

@c-r Was David confusing something or was the young lady on the phone confused and incorrect in her choice of language. If she was incorrect then she was indeed "just wrong". The only thing embarassing was her calling in and trying to argue this losing proposition with David when she doesn't know his own ethnicity and the history of those people. Words matter, C. We should all make sure to use them correctly.

@MOME914 then they need to develop a better argument or refine the line of thinking because there are plenty of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant families that have the same racial bias towards the Irish, Italians, Poles and other caucasian ethnicities. There is a power imbalance in the world but it's between the haves and the have nots and that's a problem of class struggle not racial inequity. We have language for all of this already which is one reason why it's a bad idea to try and redefine words like racism that are already fully loaded with meaning and misconception.

GoodMorningRatchets It may be fairly common but that doesn't make it correct or right. Are the Irish considered white? How about Italians or Polish people? All of these groups may have less racism practiced against them then people who are Native, black, hispanic, or asian, but none of these people are considered "white" by the same people who are also racist towards non-caucasian groups. Trying to change the definition of a word to make it fit your narrative is a dangerous thing and it will backfire on you.
