Ah yes, because telling someone "your entire race will go extinct soon", the tag #CancelWhitePeople and also claiming that whites should be buried in caves because they're actually goblins is playful banter, and certainly not genocidal. Thanks for clearing that up for me, Saddam.
"White people have stopped breeding. You'll all go extinct soon. This was my plan all along. [devil emoji]," "#CancelWhitePeople," and "Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being fit to live underground like groveling goblins," are not serious threats. They are self-evidently flippant shitposts. You of all people know this very well, and there's nothing more I can say to you if you continue to unconvincingly deny it.
Also, Junker is responding as if you're brushing it off because that's exactly what you come off as to everyone in this thread except Dave, apparently. Surely that alone would make you contemplate that maybe your response to this is ludicrous.
Of course I'm brushing it off, just like he is. I'm questioning where he's getting the idea that there's some big difference between our positions. My best guess is that he's assuming, presumably along with you and Rama, that I subscribe to some stupid rules-for-thee-but-not-for-me position where minorities are free to spout dumb shit online but white people are severely punished for it because of their privilege, or whatever. And I don't, far from it. I think I've been pretty vocal about my dismay at James Gunn being fired on IRC over the past few days, after all. I didn't weigh in on the whole double-standard thing during my previous posts simply because I don't always have the time throughout the day to write out every thought I have on my mind. I simply commented on what I thought was most relevant to the discussion - the feigned outrage over Jeong's tweets.
Another thing about Norton's firing was that it of course preceded the whole Gunn incident, and so had nothing to do Cernovich and his troll gang. Part of the NYT's support of Jeong was clearly meant to send a message about the limits of online pressure. Which isn't the most altruistic motivation in the world, but it's one I definitely sympathize with. We can't have troll mobs (of any political stripe) "policing" the Internet and the careers of private citizens on partisan grounds.
