aoirann saying that "Trailer Trash" aren't discriminated against, as he defends a clearly discriminatory post about then. Since continuing the discussion on "Stupid Shit" would be a derail, I'm bringing it here.
There's discrimination that isn't based on skin color or genitals. Not being a "protected class" doesn't mean they aren't discriminated against.
Okay, dug through it, and here's the thing:
WarpVortex, this is neither the proper thread (this is for bitching about SJWs and their effect on society) nor the proper way to go about it. You literally, and explicitly, pulled it in from another thread entirely.

This isn't the right place for that anyways.
Pretty sure questions about what discrimination - specifically, classism - and slurs are and what protected classes ought to be are bang on topic to social justice (which is all about discrimination, including classism) and safe spaces (which usually exclude slurs). It's actually just about the most useful thing to have come up in the last few pages; most of it's been dog-chasing-tail stuff about people's debating practices. It didn't go anywhere at the time because of people sniping at each other, but I was considering replying to it (it just got buried under so much of the aforementioned shit that I forgot about it).
I mean, the closest thing to arguments that it's off-topic I've seen are "this isn't discrimination, so discussion of whether it's discrimination isn't relevant to discrimination" (which is obviously fallacious) and "you're talking rationally, thus it's off-topic to SJWs" (which would seem to forbid any productive discussion in the thread and mandate that it merely be a dogpile). Neither is particularly convincing.
So yeah, I really would prefer it if this particular injunction were undone, just so the topic remains open to further discussion. I know this isn't the 1000 words Biigoh always trumpets, but there's only so much I can pad "non sequitur" before it gets repetitive.
