Yes, by convincing the racists to continuously come up with more and more euphemisms and dog whistles, they will gradually be convinced WRT the superiority of liberal thinking, and therefore cease to be racist.

Oh no, wait, it's just a counterproductive excuse for circlejerk virtue signalling on the left that often actually insultingly infantilises the oppressed. Sorry, the oppressed people.

I can see that, but I honestly don’t think it was meant in any sort of way. He’s an Iraq vet, his state and constituents produce these rounds. I know plenty of soldiers that would give inert 40mm as a gift just because it’s cool. Maybe there is a bit of an implication, but I don’t think it’s as malicious as people are claiming.

I could also be 100% wrong I don’t know the man at all.
