You'd be amazed at how hilarious, petty and embarassing it looks like from the outsideQuote:

I also think other people not a part of these celebrations should be able to take part and enjoy in these cultural celebrations as well without any fear of ‘appropriating’.
The more we celebrate each other’s past cultures the better off we’ll all be in my opinion.

who is persecuted now for being gay?Quote:

Gay people are persecuted now for being gay. Who else?Quote:

You keep your head in the sand for anything but your corner of Twitter, huh. This is comically dense and ignorant, even for someone at such a crippling disadvantage as you.
not like in the past.Quote:

Republican PAC runs debate ad comparing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to genocidal Khmer Rouge
this is what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said..Quote:
The clip opens with ominous music and a portrait of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) bursting into flames to reveal a pile of skulls.
“This is the face of socialism and ignorance,” the narrator intones. “Does Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez know the horror of socialism?”
The jarring ad, which aired on ABC during Thursday’s Democratic presidential debate in Houston, compares the freshman Democrat’s support of democratic socialism to the communist Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia that killed nearly 2 million people in the 1970s.
Democrats argue over health care and other core issues — and the direction of the party
The spot, funded by a newly formed Republican PAC and narrated by a recently defeated California GOP candidate, prompted Ocasio-Cortez to accuse its producers of racism and critics to question why ABC approved the ad. (The network didn’t immediately respond to messages on Thursday night.)
“Know that this wasn’t an ad for young conservatives of color — that was the pretense,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “What you just watched was a love letter to the GOP’s white supremacist case.”
The ad was produced by New Faces GOP, a PAC that aims to bring “candidate [sic] from all races, ethnicities, gender, or geography” to the Republican Party. The Fresno-based organization is fronted by Elizabeth Heng, who lost in November to Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.) in a 16th Congressional District race; he received 54 percent of the vote to her 46 percent.
Heng narrates the ad by highlighting her family’s story. Her parents, Chieu Heng and Siv Khoeu, survived the Khmer Rouge regime under Pol Pot, during which roughly a quarter of the country’s population died from summary executions, famine, disease and overwork from 1975 to 1979. Her parents eventually made their way to Fresno, where they have operated a market for 25 years, the Fresno Bee reported.
In the ad that aired on Thursday, Heng draws a direct line from her parents’ traumatic story to the policies supported by Ocasio-Cortez.
“My father was minutes away from death in Cambodia,” Heng says. “That’s socialism. Forced obedience, starvation.”
Heng also suggests her story shows the room for diversity in a GOP increasingly defined by President Trump’s white identity politics.
“Mine is a face of freedom. My skin is not white. I’m not outrageous, racist, or socialist,” she says. “I’m a Republican.”
Ocasio-Cortez, though, argued that by marrying her portrait with such violent imagery, the ad actually made the opposite point.
apparently Asian Elizabeth Heng is a racist white supremacist. :shrug:
this is why the use of racist and white supremacist has become idiotic. it's used to manipulate people for a political agenda. it's straight up ignorant.
AOC is just stupid.
Post all that and there’s no comment about a California Republican running an ad about a New York Democrat comparing her to the Khmer Rouge lol. If this was an add by the Democrats comparing Trump to Hitler you would be irate and would completely ignore the dumb **** that would inevitably come out of his mouth as a result.Quote:

So someone comparing Trump to Hitler/Mao is wrong and violent rhetoric but someone comparing AOC to genocide in Khmer is OK? That is also violent rhetoric.Quote:
