What's a "threat" can be subjective, and some people in minority groups perceive certain disparaging or insensitive statements to be just as threatening when it comes from high-profile and influential people. For example, it can be statistically proven that there has been a spike in hate crimes against people of certain ethnic backgrounds since Donald Trump has made disparaging comments against Muslims. So is it unreasonable for them to be "PC" about Donald Trump's choice of words?

The major difference is one is about freedom of political views and the other is about physically harming someone. It's really not comparable. And saying let's kill someone isn't the same as saying enforce the laws or stating a factual statement people may not agree with. Some people might say black people are violent, should they be fired? What if it was pc to say that? Then in that case should a black person be fired for saying there's systemic racism? Slippery slope. *edit* and let's make it clear, there's a distinction between not being pc and using hate speech or being a racists. They're not synonymous with each other.

Oh OK, my mistake. Yeah, I agree of course that is wrong.
I understand what you're saying but I am going to call you a pedant as whilst a fascist regime might not inherently be tied to discrimination it is characteristic of those in recent history. Also, Nazi Germany seems like a bad example to use. It was a very racist regime as well as anti-semitic.

That's my 100% honest definition. It's bullshit. And a joke honestly. Btw you've said nothing in 6 comments we were done long ago homie.
