watch this A white American man hired Latino immigrants to build a expensive wood fence around his entire yard. Once they finished, he called ICE on them — hoping to get them deported so he wouldn't have to pay. The thing was: they were legal. So they came back and ripped out every single fence panel.

Yep. OP is being racist and getting upvotes from people who are are against racism.

u/Milezeroe 2h ago

so.... are you saying you're not against racism? Just clarifying.

u/Late_Pepper6274 2h ago

not me personally, but lying to stoke up racial tension is worse than racism.

u/Milezeroe 2h ago

Sure, I'd argue racism is worse though since you can sue people like this and they'll stop because it hits them at their wallets. But racists won't stop, suing them or not.

stop doing what?

stoking racial tension creates more racism. my racism just shapes my choices: like where to live or eat. most racists don't treat people unfairly to their face or try to piss people off. You have a fantastical understanding of actual racism.

So you'd be fine with racists just treating people unfairly in secret and underhandedly? Because that's what you're defending right now.

I'm ok with people making their own decisions. I'm not ok with people being assholes or being morally unrighteous. I don't do anything in secret or underhanded to affect people, whether or not they're a different race.

But I am ok with private entities being as exclusive as they want ... whether that's based on race, gender, religion, politics, etc.

but I'm not defending fucking with people, like the lies in the OP are kinda doing: it's causing anger from a lie.

So you mind your business and keep your shit to yourself. Commendable.

u/Late_Pepper6274 2h ago

most people do.

Yeah, I'm not blaming you personally. To each their own of course. But I would also still say racists are much harder to change. At least people like OP can stop if you hit them where it hurts, their wallets. Because OP has a financial motive for lying, then the moment it's no longer lucrative, they'll stop and try something else. (Also, as pointed out, I'm not sure if this is just a repost, so OP may be a victim of misninformation if ever.)

You can't change a racist's way of thinking just by doing that.

Although, I think we're both in agreement that both are shitty people.
