'concerned for america' is a poor excuse to be tribal or xenophobic. i think there's a clear line between 'undocumented immigrants are a problem' and 'mexicans should leave our country.' the former is an obvious fact and the latter is an insulting and tribal generalization

concern for your country is a legitimate concern, but if that overwhelms the need to think rationally ie. witch hunt then its less of a concern and more of an attack. thats all racism is- feeling threatened unnecessarily and taking out your fear on people who don't deserve it

There are more racially-motivated attacks in this country every year than there are religiously motivated terrorist attacks. With that in mind i'm sure the severity of "racism" and "xenophobia" can be considered somewhat high

The woman clearly verbally abused Spencer and therefore she should be the one having her gym membership revoked. I don't know the legality of all this but refusing service because of someone's political or ideological beliefs is handicapped and considered censorship.

Believe me I don't like spencer either but the rules shouldn't bend towards my opinion of who I like and dislike. The discussion ends there.

Also both sides are equally handicapped for obsessing over the semantics of the word 'national socialist.' He clearly falls into the category of white supremacist which is super similar to national socialist, and either way its not even worth debating

Who the forget says "mexicans should leave our country"? A very small minority of people believe that. Again, you are conflating concern about immigration for xenophobia. Stop it. Bad PhantOS.
What racially motivated attacks? Now you're just pulling stuff out of your ass

Did you miss the thousands of black men being gunned down by police officers every month?
