You may have missed many of Belly/YF's posts. He may have deleted many of them, but not only were many of his posts stereotypes of Asians, but also other races and women. Even his screen name "Yellow Fever" is borderline offensive.
Talking about articles regarding birthing houses or massage salons that were fined or shut down by the city/law enforcement is like perfectly legal. (How is that racist?)
Also, it let?s readers know what?s going on in the area. It?s almost like a public service announcement.
I agree with Trudeau...Trudeau must go!!!
Justin Trudeau

"White supremacy has no place in Canada. It?s time for all parties, including Andrew Scheer?s Conservative Party, to stand together in denouncing hatred in all its forms."

So I get that blackface in the US hearkens back to the days of minstrel shows when actors would put on blackface and act mockingly of African Americans. Yet, I'm not sure I see how that applies to Canada which has it's own distinctive history separate from the US. Should they be held to the same standards as the US, particularly when Trudeau's actions in question presumably weren't meant to mock African-Canadians?
Then you look at the brown face incident, and he was wearing makeup for an Arabian Nights themed party. Arabian Nights is a famous literary story based on Middle Eastern folk tales without any overt racism (that I'm aware of). So he was dressed as a non-racist character, from a non-racist story, for a non-racist school event. What is the problem again?

I have to admit, i wasn't sure which thread to post this absurdity to, "global warming" or "snowflake" since it has equal splatters of both...asking weeds for forgiveness....on one hand this is hilarious but on another its deeply concerning .
Progressive seminary students offered a confession to plants. How do we think about sins against nature?
When I was a child, I spoke to trees. I knew my secrets would be safe with these great green friendly things. And I thought the trees spoke back to me. I?d press my ear against their trunks to hear the reverberating, strangely musical sound of branches knocking against one another in the wind, a sound that seems to be traveling to my ear from the decades coded into each tree?s annual growth rings.
I?m comfortable talking to plants, but I?m not sure if I could do so through a microphone in front of a bunch of seminarians, as a student at Union Theological Seminary is doing in a photo tweeted out Tuesday by the seminary?s account:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/09/18/progressive-seminary-students-offered-confession-plants-what-are-we-make-it/
Today in chapel, we confessed to plants. Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor.
What do you confess to the plants in your life?

I actually don't care about either. I'll go with the different time/circumstance defense. I just like to watch the PC police squirm when their clear hypocrisy is called out in such a public way. In the spirit of equality...whats good for the goose is good for the gander...and its entertaining.

Iowa reporter who found a viral star?s racist tweets slammed when critics find his own offensive posts
On Sept. 14, an Iowa man named Carson King went viral after holding a sign on ESPN?s ?College GameDay? asking for donations on Venmo to pay for his ?Busch Light Supply.? When cash unexpectedly poured in, King decided to give it to a local children?s hospital instead of buying beer, leading Venmo and Anheuser-Busch to pledge matching donations.
That?s when Des Moines Register reporter Aaron Calvin set out to profile King ? and found two offensive tweets the 24-year-old had sent when he was 16.
That discovery has now sparked an acrimonious conflict, as King quickly lost his partnership with Anheuser-Busch, and the Des Moines Register scrambled to explain its decision to report on the old tweets in the first place ? particularly after critics Tuesday turned up multiple offensive tweets once sent by Calvin, forcing the paper to open a new investigation into its own reporter.
Between 2010 and 2013, Calvin published tweets that used a racist slur for black people, made light of abusing women, used the word ?gay? as a pejorative and mocked the legalization of same-sex marriage by saying he was ?totally going to marry a horse.? The Register?s statement on Twitter was soon flooded with images of the reporter?s offensive comments.
By late Tuesday night, Calvin began deleting old tweets, and then locked his account early Wednesday morning after posting an apology.
