[Disclaimer] - I am not an American and I consider myself atheist, I am Caucasian and born in a pre-dominantly Christian country.

Based on my limited knowledge of Christianity, it is all about social justice, compassion and peace.

And I was always wondering how come Republicans are perceiving themselves as devout Christians while the political party they support is openly opposing those virtues and if this doesn’t make them hypocrites?

For them the mortal enemy are the lefties who are all about social justice, helping the vulnerable and the not so fortunate and peace.

Christianity sounds to me a lot more like socialist utopia.

    Do you think the concept of race doesn’t exist in Britain?!

    I’ll tell you it most definitely does, hell we practically invented systemic racism. Come to London and tell a black Brit that they aren’t black and we’ll see how that one goes down.

    Just because words that look like “Caucasian” mean the other thing in German and french doesn’t change it’s English meaning. Congratulations on your language knowledge, but are not the genius you think you are.

    I speak English, as an Englishman. Caucasian means white in British English.

      Right then, you Caribbean. What do you mean you’re not from the Caribbean? What does that have to do with anything? That word is obviously referring to the population of the British Isles. Duh.

      That’s how this sounds. It’s ridiculous.

        Well yeah that would be a great metaphor, if everyone in Britain referred to Britain as the Carribbean. But they don’t, so it’s deeply dumb.

        I don’t understand what you’re caught up on.

        British people use the word caucasian to mean white, and that is documented in British dictionaries.

        I appreciate you take personal issue with that usage, but that’s life, you don’t control the English language.
