I didn’t justify it. I explained where it comes from. You went on to be reductive in order to use what you thought was more grand rhetoric because you are weirdly defensive about Americans. I don’t think you are just fucking around. I think you probably do think something along the lines of “making fun of Americans is prejudice. Being bigoted against Roma is prejudice.” And then making no further distinctions. You keep trying to pull that “you should stop supporting prejudice” line which is either you being sincere or you “just fucking around” but it’s hard to tell since what you think is sarcasm is dangerously close to what you seem to actually believe.
So are you acknowledging then that you were categorizing knocking on Americans as the same as prejudice against Roma?
Yes, oh yes, the very same thing. And being prejudiced against either is very much OK and good.
I also think America is number one, the best, two thumbs up. We’re better than everyone.
I also know that you believe this, too, because you’re American. Godamn we’re awesome, this rules.
This new perspective is so much easier than acknowledging the uniqueness of the human spirit. What a relief.

I learned it from watching you, dad!
Speaking of which, brb, gotta go teach my kids to judge people based on things outside of their control.
Well you introduced the childish sarcasm to this conversation so you couldn’t really learn it from me.
Wait a second. So you’re saying that you were actually being serious while justifying prejudicial views as long as they weren’t as bad as others!?
I was just fucking around, you should consider not supporting that. It gives weight to much larger issues.
