Oof. Verging...? It's already there.

Nobody thanked you, bud. Sorry about your brain damage.

Stay edgy with the childish comments, bud. Nice contribution to the discussion, as usual.

But they're very refreshing!

Apparently, it's not even an accurate story: Leave it to right wing idiots like Ingraham to share lies and misinformation, though.

Not to mention ironic as hell: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/08/22/trump-has-flipped-fed-will-conservatives-join-him/ Typical republican dirtbag.

Oh, I'd argue he is the only bunyak going by the trash he's posting. I think the rest of us Ukrainians know better than to make ignorant statements and trot out some fragile proud boy bullshit narrative on this forum. If anything, you'd think a person of Ukrainian descent would understand the BLM movement and what it actually stands for, considering some of the disgusting oppression Ukrainians have faced in the past. Are there **** humans taking advantage of BLM to peddle a separate agenda or narrative? Yes - same as any other movement/protest. However, by no means does it take away its actual purpose or meaning, much less justify making absurd, conspiracy theory level, blanket statements about it.

"This ad was paid for by the ghost of Donald Trump's dead dad who is looking up from hell with shame in his eyes."

Russia, you rascals...

That's rich. It's plain as day who's been missing the points here. Calling an indigenous person in Canada or anywhere else on the American continents an Indian originated from a perspective of ignorance some centuries ago. That mistake carries on to this day. You choose to disregard, dismiss, and downplay all that by ignoring historical facts and instead make irrational assumptions, throw around useless buzzwords, and play some sort of unhinged devil's advocate - out of boredom (as you said earlier). All while claiming to want to try and make others think for themselves. There's no need to entertain such absurdity.

TLDR. Just another self-righteous rant methinks.

CFL at Fort Hew!

Probably gotta target a 2C as well.

Too perfect...? What does that even mean? In what way is this strain of coronavirus perfect, much less too perfect? Feel free to present even a shred of credible evidence with scientific data showing COVID-19 is artificially made.

Nice job continuing to demonstrate - blatantly and intentionally - your ignorance. Summed up perfectly with some stupid false equivalency.

26 years ago today... What a bloody performance.

Mencken was perhaps ahead of his time.

Here's the thing: all of that in bold is at the heart of the issue. And it doesn't make your position right, acceptable, or respectful - at all. "That's just the way it is and the way it's been for ages and the majority of people would agree with me" is a terrible way to look at this and a really archaic attitude to have. An exonym applied from a position of pure ignorance centuries ago has led to these ongoing symptoms, including the very legal and legislative framework that has ruled over and caused immeasurable hardship to generations of indigenous people. How is perpetuating such a mistake in any way defensible, much less conducive to your supposed desire to get people to think for themselves? If you want others to think for themselves as you're saying, you must practice what you preach. Think for yourself and understand what's incorrect and disrespectful with this exonym as it pertains to the indigenous populations here in Canada. Dying on a hill of historical ignorance doesn't strengthen your position, much in the same way throwing around numbers pulled ostensibly out of thin air doesn't. If 90% of Canadians do in fact share the same view as you, then we're worse off in this country than I thought. I sincerely believe that isn't the case, though. I think Canada's made considerable progress but there's still so much room for improvement as far as reconciliation goes with our First Nations. This issue has very little to do with blindly following the media or politicians, unless you think being respectful of others is just somehow without merit. It's about putting an end to erroneous labels fuelled by a history of ignorance and racial insensitivity.

You mostly come across as pretty intelligent and while you're not necessarily coming across as racist in this thread, you're most surely coming across as ignorant. I can't say I understand your acting obtuse here; I can only speculate boredom. I think you know full well what the correct term is, politically or otherwise. A person from what's known presently as The Republic of India or whose ancestors are from that region is an Indian. Full stop. A person of First Nations descent/heritage from this continent is not an Indian in any way, shape, or form. That exonym applied by European explorers several hundred years ago is neither accurate nor appropriate; it never was. Its application is completely ignorant. That shovel of yours must be getting pretty dull at this point, man.

I hope this vile, bigoted, hateful turd catches not one fish. **** him.

The term East Indian is ignorant. There's no East India; there's just India. Why are indigenous people in Canada still called Indians? It's simple: a history of ignorance. They're exonyms based on historical events from a long, long time ago. Is it a racist term? I guess that's up for debate*. Maybe racially insensitive is a better term...? Who am I to say. But there's no question it's ignorant - and certainly inappropriate when taking today's sociocultural worldview into consideration. * it isn't my say one way or the other but I think there's a case to be made for those who would deem it as racist

Totally incoherent seems like a massive understatement.
