You let yourself go and turned into a complete autist after that point
It's great how him just taking stuff out of context (I was talking about Hollywood celebrities watering down leftism through superficial identity politics) is now considered an "own", enough for you sycophants I think.
This is what I originally said, nowhere in it do I say "white people can't be leftist"
Also, the myth that Hollywood is "left-wing" is bullstuff. Yeah, you get awards speeches by celebrities about diversity and loveuality all the time, but it's contained within a bubble of superficial centrist garbage that panders to people's liberal sensibilities. The studios are run by white people, the majority of producers are white, white actors and actresses get most of the recognition. Trust me, Hollywood isn't "left" outside of their canned speeches about liberal politics. The most telling thing should be that the same night the protests at JFK were going on, the SAG awards were that night and a ton of celebrities gave speeches about how terrible the Muslim ban was instead of joining the swath of protesters in the streets. Hollywood isn't run by leftists, it's run by neoliberals disguised as leftists.
My point was that Hollywood actors and actresses constantly talk about their support for leftism but never involve themselves in any kind of real activism. But of course he can just water down the point into a strawman that's much easier for him to attack

I think this just further cements you don't actually have any real beliefs and all you can do is respond with stuffty /pol/ memes
i think badspot makes a reasonable point in that the specifics of legislating business discrimination for things like political beliefs and stuff is a bit of a loving mess. for example, a law that allows business owners to discriminate against tribals could be used to discriminate against supporters of any party that has passed legislation that might negatively impact one race, meaning the dems get stuff for affirmative action while the reps get stuff for trying to stop immigration. as far as i'm aware there are no bills proposed in this thread that would solve this stuff, and as long as there aren't badspots argument can't be refuted.
I'm not really talking about legislation, though. It's well within the parameters of private business to choose who you provide service to. And it's not really some kind of contradiction to say having a "whites only" store is bad but having a "no national socialists allowed" store is bad. There's a difference between ethnicity and having a political ideology that advocates for the destruction of all other ethnicities besides your own. I'm just saying it's a really bad argument because there's a clear difference between the two
