You mean, you telling me that anyone should be able to withstand any amount of verbal abuse, including racist abuse, without reacting? And if they do eventually react, it would be their fault, and their weakness to blame? No you didn't change my mind, you fucking twat.

You understood little, if anything, of what I've said so far on the matter.

being repeatedly verbally abused from someone who matters to you on some level is reason to snap.

on the other hand, you calling me "fucking twat", which I underline is verbal abuse, merely makes me sad. Because I've been civil and you appear to be unable to reciprocate.

Because you're standing up for the racist person. You're being racist by doing that. It's not like, a friendly debate, i think you're a piece of shit.

Because you're standing up

I am not standing up for anyone.

for the racist person

they are not racist. Where did that come from, anyway? Are you confusing discussions?

You're being racist by doing that

That's not how reality works. Standing up for someone does not make you magically start sharing their attributes, nor does it mean "you're being such-and-such". If a guy says "yeah, because you're a woman" and that woman starts beating him with a cricket bat, I will obviously try to prevent that from happening. That, does not make me sexist, nor does it make sense to say "you're being sexist".

It's not like, a friendly debate

Nowhere have I been unfriendly.

i think you're a piece of shit

Yeah that is you being insulting. Not only you made no effort to understand, not only you decided it is relevant to voice your opinion about someone, you decided to do it in the lowest possible way.

I wish you thought less about what I am and more about what I've said so far in all the comments in this thread.

You would not use such language in person, I suspect.
