Vote: Is Calling Someone "Fredo" In a Forum Post An Ethic Slur?

[Ray Mitcham]

I'm Scottish and I don't mind being referred to by the "J" word.   

How about being called Scotch, Duncan?

When someone purposely wants to single out an individual because of their Italian ethnicity and give them a name of "Fredo" it is a slur. It's no different than calling an American Indian "Tonto" only because he happens to be of that ethnicity. It is being done for ethnic purposes designed for simple hate.

Donald Trump and his followers always have to insult and divide people by race and ethnicity to belittle and demean the person because of their hate. They do this because they are inferior themselves and they try to make someone else feel stupid to make themselves feel better. 

There is no reason to give a person of a particular ethnicity an ethic name other than to insult them and to make them look inferior to others. It's designed to draw attention to their ethnicity which is their whole goal.

It doesn't bother me Ray, just as i'm sure being called a Sassenach wouldn't bother you

    Based on the above, "The Lone Ranger" was actually slandering "Tonto" his Native American Indian companion for 15 years on Radio and then another 9 years on TV.  What do you want next? A "Safe Space"?  But PLEASE keep it Up. Your over-the-top PC Culture is what got us POTUS Trump. YOU people Never Learn!

It's only offensive to dumb people or SJW types obsessed with identity politics and virtue signaling. You know who you are.

People are given a name for a reason. You right wingers give people names based on race and ethnicity to divide and stoke racism.

White Supremacists and Nazis who is Trump's base will be defeated in November. You didn't learn what happened to the GOP in the 2018 midterms when they got wiped out after White Supremacists were marching in Charlottesville with torches chanting "Death to Jews!"

This is not America and this sick racism and hate that Donald Trump supports will be defeated. Sadly, that's what you support.

Walk up to an Asian and say "Hey Chang" or a black guy and call him a name. You'll get popped in the mouth.
