It's not just that he claimed Hispanic was a separate race on the Census. If you read the post where it came from you'll see it's a bunch of presumptuous nonsense clearly written by someone who wasn't an American and has next to no understanding of American culture or social divisions. Even if you remove the bit about Hispanic being a separate race on the Census it still makes zero sense in the context of American society. I mean Gully effectively claimed that the Ecuadorian, Central American and Mexican communities in south central Minneapolis are not really any different than the Scandinavians and Germans all throughout Minnesota (who also don't have their own neighborhoods in Minneapolis either.)

And that's a city with a relatively small Hispanic population. If you look at somewhere like Phoenix or anywhere in Texas it becomes laughably absurd. Like on the level of pbrower or J. J.'s electoral "analysis".

I've had a rivalry with Gully since he started posting due to what he said about Ralph Nader and the Democratic Party then, so I remember most of his early posts well.

BRTD, this makes zero sense.  Zero.

You seem to hate "true leftists," yet you have really arbitrary anger about someone not being left-wing enough or something.  You champion being a "social justice warrior," even though that's mostly a derogatory internet slur against people with extreme leftist identity politics beliefs, which you don't even seem to share.

Now, I actually think most of our European posters have an incredible knowledge of the United States, given the fact that they don't live here.  You shouldn't lord it over someone when you have more knowledge of a country you've lived in your entire life.  It's not a contest.  How about being respectful and sharing your knowledge if you think they misunderstand something because of cultural differences or inexperience with your country. 

You both actually seem to have fairly similar politics.  Give it up man.

Actually the anti-true leftist thing is where I started getting on Gully due to his pro-Nader and anti-Democratic Party hackery. Which is also why I don't see myself having similar politics. Gully was also very critical of Obamamania in 2008, which is one of my proudest ever votes as well.
