There is a difference between punching up and punching down
 help



Oh there are clauses and exceptions to prejudice are there?

So who gets to decide the definition of 'punching up'? When is it ok for me to be prejudice towards a group of people?

Im looking forward to learning where the line is so I can feel safe in my bigotry /s.


>When is it ok for me to be prejudice towards a group of people?

When a group acts as a coordinated group. A political party for instance. This is not rocket science. You must link the individual(s) directly to the act, or you’re just stereotyping and making assumptions.

You are asking a lot of baiting questions. We know this isn't an attempt at dialogue, so just state your mind and be done with it instead of continuing of this silly bread crumb game man.


Yes, just one, and it's defined in this excerpt:

Don't be a dick.

If you're being a dick, you're at fault, if you're not being a dick, you get a pass.


Excerpt from what?

Its a shame the meaning of language is subjective, or we could all happily live under this banner forevermore.
