just think that using closed caption transcripts as a way of determining truths about U.S. racial relations is a pretty lazy way of thinking especially when for all we know the word "thug" showed up on TV for the same reason it's showing up on this thread over and over

Ah it does wins but its prob just early days yet we'll get better at it

this sentence is virtually meangingless other than as a phatic expression of the usual wounded/mock-wounded inspid bantz that happens when you pretend you alone can correctly evaluate something that you don't understand, and then people tell you that you are p dumb and not learning

fwiw i wasnt even implying that ireland has a super robust racist culture, that wld be weird since almost everyone is white, but still sometimes somehow cultures find ways to gang up on certain people even without convenit racial categories to expedite the process

as usual darragh is flat0out wrong, "thug" is certainly one of the more coded epithets here as well, though not only in a racial way
maybe in london but not up here
