--- Quote from: Linde on December 30, 2007, 07:14:39 PM ---Distinguishing people by religion is only tribal when the religion is specifically linked to an ethnic group (most are not). Not even jews are safe, since people without jewish ancestors can convert to judaism. That means that I can say that jews are stupid morons based on their beliefs, but I can not say that they are stupid morons based on their ethnic origin (without being tribal).

I'm not saying anything bad about blacks, when I mean monday. When I use it it is just a word that doesn't really mean anything.

Zing.
Anti-Cop:
You have to respect where a word came from, although I think that with the way people use "tribal" as an accusation for any sort of discrimination, that may eventually become a valid definition for it.

That's fascism, mostly. Racism has to deal with race.
Well, fascism is the loathing of all religion...
