I have no end game with the discussion and I'm not trying to box people into some kind of 'gotcha' moment. I have listened to Rogan enough to know that he is not some frothy at the mouth racist or anti-semite. Sometimes I think people view the source first without critically thinking about the content or context of what's said.
blankall says all generalizations are racist. Really? That's about as broad a stroke I've ever seen. If that is the case then my previous point stands in that literally everyone, everywhere is and are racist / racists. Diluting racism to that extreme strips down the words' efficacy in making real change for shaming most people into self-reflection, acceptance, tolerance and the rejection of prejudice- which is what this is about. I don't think Rogan is being intentionally prejudicial with that statement- the same way I don't think Trudeau is a racist for painting his face black. Specifically based on Trudeau's history and who he is and what we know about him- is he racist? Of course not. Same thing here.
