“Is this the America we live in?” said one parent. “And it was this stupid, stupid technology that is just going through picking up random words and not looking at context.”
Knowing that Europe literally has a problem with its soccer audiences making monkey noises at black athletes makes this particular bit of condescension all the more ridiculous.
“Daily murder” is a sneaky rhetorical maneuver, considering it’s something influenced more by raw population size, than by capita. It’s easy for there to be a “daily murder” in a country of 340,000,000 people, even when the overwhelmingly vast majority of people do not murder.
Using “few” to trivialize/minimize the racism is no better.

Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don’t have guns.
Yeah, they use knives instead.
The knife homicide rate is literally higher in the US.
If you think I’m trying to say the US is better… by any measure LOL! -No. The US is a shithole.
My point is that if you take guns out of the equation they’ll just be replaced by something else.
My point is that your comment makes it sound like gun control would solve nothing. That patently isn’t the case.
This isn’t the flex you think it is.
Wasn’t intended to be. But evil people will find a way to do evil.
Yes, but one of those things is capable of a lot more damage in a much shorter amount of time.
You’ll also have a hard time knifing people from a window with a wide vantage point.
Knives are dangerous, and evil people will be evil. But should we just hand out rocket launchers on the side of the road because knives exist?
It’s an absurd suggestion, obviously. So is “knives exist so guns are fine.”
You keep putting words in my mouth so this conversation is over.
Care to explain what you meant then? Because the most I did was paraphrase what I understood to be your stance.
Reddit moment: comparing a few racist idiots with daily murders.

Shame on you for this disingenuity.
Even when we go per capita the US stays a shithole, it’s not like they were trying to actively misinform people.
