    Sure, the soul of every nation is tarnished by the sins of their fathers. I have no argument with this. That doesn’t excuse the use of racist language or symbology, as the point can easily be made without such denigration.

    This is especially ironic because the hexbears are typically falling over themselves to show how egalitarian and tolerant they are, and at least in my view, such language makes that effort seem particularly hollow.

      its stretching beyond belief to think calling someone an american dog has racist connotations, this is a common slur thrown at anyone who happens to bow down to american interests at the expense of there fellow people.

      such bad faith reasoning and liberal IDpolitics of GOTCHA, no wonder you where banned; no loss.

        You don’t think calling someone a dog is bigoted? Talk about bad faith.

            So for the record, the person who trolled my profile and posted a screenshot trying to make me seem racist, only to get pilloried by additional context, before changing the subject entirely, before finally resorting to his own bizarre ethnic slurs, is the one arguing in good faith. While I am the one pushing “gotcha liberalism” or whatever?

            You do you, I guess.
