fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
You can be the best-intentioned person in the world but if you are burning people because you think they are witches you still need to get slapped.
No, that'd be exactly what that'd mean.
edit: Well, it'd mean that for a minimum of 21.8% of the population (thanks electoral college!)

i mean
realistically most people act thinking they have good intentions
good intentions don't really mean much
nobody's the villain in their own story

Good intentions pave the road to hell.
Those who say, "Muslim problem" from fear are not much different from those who say it from just plain racism.
This is the same now as it was when people spoke of the "Jewish Issue" in the US talking about Jews fleeing Germany.
trump is a butt. racial prejudice rooted in fear is just as racist as racial prejudice rooted in hate.
If you are running scared because a group of people with the same skin color scares you for no logical reason, you're a racist.
"Policies which curb Muslim immigration and even put Muslims under surveillance in the country" are racist and fascist policies.
Intent is flat out not necessary in racism. When Trump says "muslims" he means "middle eastern brown people." If you sat several different religious persuasions in front of him, but they all looked like middle eastern brown people, he would refer to them as muslims.
Trump is so racist he doesn't even realize how racist he is.
When you cross the street to get away from or clutch your possessions tightly in response to walking near black people you are being racist.
Okay, I'm liking this pitch
go on . . . .
yes
See now, if that second sentence was "omg i'm so scared of all these news events and people from other countries seem to be involved a lot and i'm ignorant and my fear drives me to tribalism so i think we should be wary of people from other countries" then it's not racist. Now it's just xenophobic.
Also I don't know if these guys have watched the news recently, but you seem far more likely to get shot by a random white guy at a public event than by muslim terrorists. Better get rid of all the random white guys.
Again, I marvel at how I never realized that Muslims were a race.
I also come with Legally Canadian for emergency maple syrup runs.
Card you're a hack. Good thing this game is good otherwise

Wait what that is super-untrue.
There are tons of people who are routinely villainous (whether exploiting others or just being assholes) and are fully aware of it, but proceed anyway, either because they do not care or actively enjoy it.
I don't think it applies to the situation we're talking about (probably a lot of racists have good intentions or think they're protecting their families or something).
But as a general statement this is not solid.
Does this involve some kind of discount at Tim Horton's and hockey games?
again you distract from the conversation by arguing semantics
You have got to get off this meaningless distinction. You seem to keep bringing it up like it absolves bigotry of its de facto impact.

i whistle CAKE's "Hem of your garment" as I walk down the street
This contributes a lot more than your last identical post. Didn't a ton of people point out why this is a fallacy since you posted this last time?
but is the conflation of muslims and the races which most commonly practice it in itself racist
maek u think
A very large portion of the people who are afraid of Muslims conflate Muslims and Arabs or other Middle Eastern-descent folk.
It's a proxy dogwhistle for brown people.
Maple syrup
I bet maple syrup ice cream with maple sugar crystals in it would be really good
The Jewish Issue was the weirdest Playboy in my adolescent shoe box.
can we please discuss dungeons and dragons, orcs are not a race!
I don't believe it.
Everyone justifies their actions to themselves.
Run a shady business and steal from your employees? No, I made this company they're lucky they get anything. Etc.
If there's someone out there who thinks they're doing the wrong thing and is like yup I'm wrong and bad than that's a rare person.
Even the people who just don't care and exploit people are going to have internal justification. The world isn't fair, you gotta take what you get or it'll happen to you, etc.

No, it' snot a distraction at all. You're making a nonsense accusation because you want to graft on the evil of racism to your "xenophobic religious bigot" cudgel. Call a thing what it is and stop fucking about with easier terms. If I can shit on this entire line of thought by just going "duh muslims aren't a race" you will get nowhere trying to actually accomplish anything.
Be precise in your criticism, or like DK pointed out earlier, you just open yourself up to the appearance of grievance shopping.
I think I get some perks related to the popular Montreal brewery that was started by the part of my family that stayed in Canada.

not bad
how did we get a new topic earlier... oh, right.
@Sir Landshark what would you like to discuss right now
