    Saying that I must be a foreigner because I lack reading comprehension (or mind reading, in this case)

    Another straw man. Try again.

      Honestly, at this point, it’s whatever you want to tell yourself. We both know why you said I needed a translator. This it like the third or fourth completely meaningless distinction without a difference that you’ve hinted at without being willing to even say. I don’t care what games you want to play to try to weasel out of being called on your racism.

      I grew up in the South before I became a communist, I’m all too familiar with this kind of “polite” racism, with whatever plausible deniability you think you have. That you’re a racist is not a question to me at all, it’s just a fact. Obviously, you’re never going to admit fault, because you’re acting in bad faith. But yes, in fact, you did imply that I was an illiterate foreigner, and yes, in fact, doing that is racist. You can whine about “strawmen” and call me a tankie for calling you out all day long, and I guess its whatever you need to do to sleep at night, but I can see straight through your bullshit.
