I can't say I'm surprised that your scientific sources are reposting Breitbart articles with minimal commentary.

Unfortunately for you, Teppler, I'm just about as American as apple pie, and peace-outed isn't an expression.

Your side used the term 'racist' as an accusation against me, I don't think it's asking too much to have it be defined.

When you talk about truth, it’s very much “solipsism.” There is no objective truth when you’re trying to qualify it by including racism. To use your argument, you know damn well what racism is, you shouldn’t need it defined.

Lastly, I STILL don’t know what you mean when you say “real American.” In fact, I doubt anyone does. That’s such a nebulous term that it very much NEEDS to be defined. I know what a real American means to me, but I definitely don’t think what I believe it is is the same as what you believe it is.

Could someone explain why right-wing lunatics always seem to know so much more about pop music than I do?

Ironic that Polycaster/Teppler uses a government link to prove a point, yet goes on ad nauseaum about how the government is lying to us.

Laughable that you think your 'common sense' is so advanced that it can allow you to discount scientific consensus and expertise. Your brain is saturated with anti-liberal Alex Jones-esque conspiracy theories, and you simply parrot nonsense you gobble up from your "sources" and regurgitate it out here expecting us to believe you have an ounce of your own thought process in the equation.

Still have no idea why you think you're a "real American."

I've restated the findings of many studies. The fact that those studies scare you is why you try to deflect by pretending I haven't said anything. Normal people aren't tired and bored of "identity bullshit", we are tired of it being used against us yet when we try to use it in defense get accused of being evil racists.

1 such study:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4716051/
First off, no one is calling you evil. I'm calling you what you are - racist. Don't put words in my mouth, you put that label there. Is there something that you feel about yourself that you want to share?
Second off, did you read your study? I would take a long, hard look at it, particularly the Data & Measure section and especially the conclusion. Hell, just search for the term "casual", you'll find it attached to a sentence that will make whatever argument you are trying to make look flimsy and silly. There are much better studies out there on this topic (some of which even use NATIONAL data, as opposed to a city that is historically divided by race), and I think it's disgusting that you're trying to shoehorn a residential preference study in as evidence for your matter-of-fact diatribe about Democrats not wanting to live with whoever.

I don't identify with your stupid terms, I don't even care about them. Like I keep saying, you are far outside of the majority. If you don't think so, look at the data from the last election (I know it was REALLY important to you, since you keep referencing political stuff when on one else around you is even bothering with it). You will find a little over fifty percent of the population voted, where less than half of that % voted for Trump. That makes you a minority (I would argue it makes the Democrats a minority as well), and definitely explains why you are scared. I'm scared for you, too. I know wild animals that feel cornered tend to get violent.

Define racism. Can something be both true and racist at the same time?
If no, please quote what I say that is racist.
If yes, then you are saying racism can be truthful and it is not a rational description, instead it is merely a term to exert power by trying to shame people.

Truth in this instance is entirely subjective. People used to believe that those of a different race were not as smart, not as capable, not as worthy, of those that were white. That was a "truth" they believed in, but it wasn't an objective truth, it was entirely of their own design. So yes, something can be "true" (in the mind of the beholder) and an individual can fervently believe it, and can be entirely racist. Your truth isn't objective.
