Oh shit, a balanced, nuanced take on a complex issue. Quick, get the Americans out of of here, they won't be able to handle this.

    I mean they just elected the dude by a pretty wide margin. It sounds like some of us at least are fine with nuance.

    There are a lot of parts of the country that cannot of course

    "Burger" is a 4chan ethnic slur for an American

    Plenty of Americans can handle nuance. But cool bigotry though

    Probably because it's super fucked up and you'd be banned. Cool

    Things are tense here, for sure, but you gotta take a deep breath and step back from it and know when the joke isn't a direct attack on you (unless it is), and try not to cheapen words like bigotry by defensively applying it to an arguably accurate depiction of many Americans. Don't prove their joke by missing the nuance yourself.

    Turns out that prejudice is harmful even if it isn't negative, or even about you in particular.

    At least, that's what we've been saying about racial prejudice for a long time. Dunno when we forgot about that.

    It's still pretty shitty to judge an entire population and paint them with one generalized brush, no matter how you frame it. You assume my annoyance is personal but it's not.
