And YES, for the record…

Referring to a mixed-race person as a "mongrel” is still a racist insult. So to use the term towards anyone, (especially a total stranger) is contradictory if one’s also claiming not to be a racist.

MAGAs, take note.

I can empathize given my gypsy background. Even today they are looked down on. Though not as bad as other mixes.

I saw that convo... 😟 So sorry you had to deal with that here.
sciguy18 · M
Someone called you that?
@sciguy18 Because I can usually avoid them here, I almost forget they exist sometimes. 🤨

@bijouxbroussard There will always be ignorance. Some are just emboldened by certain high profile individuals.
@sciguy18 I think that’s the worst part of an ignorant administration, all kinds of folks crawl out from under their rocks.

Did I miss something? Haven't heard the term "mongrel" used except maybe for a dog in decades, at the least.

@bijouxbroussard Somehow I associate that use of the term with Nazi propaganda from the 1930s. :(
@ChipmunkErnie So do I.
It’s mind-blowing to even NEED that explanation.

Dogs that are called that are just dogs. Purebred actually means “humans messed with them for their own selfish reasons.”

I missed something but this is disgusting behavior.
@SwampFlower Yep…

@bijouxbroussard In my heart I know you need no one to stand up for you.

But I do stand behind you.

@bijouxbroussard Wow I didn't even see the insult at first, such a douche..

@SwampFlower Yeah, completely unprovoked too
How could anyone think that term in relation to a person is okay

I have heard the term referencing a dog.
I would assume them to be very ignorant and hostile if it came up in a conversation.

That is disgusting behavior.

@Northwest I’ve heard that before; I tell them not unless they’re actually speaking Spanish with someone. And sorry, I don’t speak Spanish.

I had the feeling it was an alt for one of the resident white supremacists here.

@bijouxbroussard I wondered that too. Having never heard of them before, it seems strange for them to come out of the woodwork just now. It's probably someone you've blocked previously.

MAGAts may take note; but they won't care.
@G7J2O The ones who get defensive and feel the need to show ”receipts" when called out as racists still care on some level.
