  • Japanese-Americans, referred to as Nikkei by Japan, underwent an extended detention in racial concentration camps. They were basically forced to abandon their Japanese culture and way of life to become “American,” punished when speaking Japanese etc. It’s totally within their rights to call the slur a slur, because it calls back to the internment camps.










  • If you’re looking for someone to say it, you’ve got me here. Banning children from tobacco doesn’t stop them from getting it, banning gambling adverts won’t stop them from doing it (cereal box rewards etc) and usually find their ways into nightclubs with alcohol anyways. The only reason these laws exist are to control and subjugate children, not “for their own good.” Such paternalist thought leads to shit like children marriage and any number of different types of child abuse, cause if your kid doesn’t have any rights, what’s stopping the parent from sending their kids to conversion therapy and misgendering then every day?
