Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

No I mentioned it would be bold to try to excuse the racism with the mentioned stuff
ah, didn't realize you meant "racism" as meaning anti-white. To be honest I do think the relevant aspect of what makes something racist is the direction of the flow of power.
When a marginalized group is persecuted or oppressed by a dominant group, it's the oppression and power difference that is relevant even more than the narrow sense in which group categories are used to make decisions. This is why affirmative action is not racist, for example.
Oof, called this in my first comment
yes, I'm somewhat reiterating a view you were originally criticizing - though I'm doing that because you pointed it out, not sure a "yes, actually" is really a "called it" moment, but sure - let's go with that anyway, it's almost Friday 😄
Racism is racism, no matter how anyone tries to dress it up.
Do you think affirmative action is racist?
The article itself mentions "positive discrimination" and "reverse racism" but the overall thing is a poor comparison since the community in this case would be "no whites" which would absolutely be racist since it's excluding people because of their race.
