True.

This could improve his standing among Blaxicans in the coming months.

Blaxicans? Seriously?

Guess people weren't exaggerating your racism.

There's nothing racist whatsoever in my post. Stop misinterpreting what I say.

Oh admit it, you just wanted to use your favorite word to get another rise out of folks, irrespective of how apropos it might be. It makes no sense to use it, unless you really believe this apology would resonate with the "xican" part of your hybridization.

I am not to blame that some people get worked up with that term, which I only use as another word for "minority".

People should get a life and not get worked up about non-issues such as Blaxicans or Blaxicasians.

I don't support the use of the term "Blaxican", but does anyone see an inconsistency of criticizing Branson for using it while "Blaxican's" use of it as a username has not, to my knowledge been challenged? Not that I am challenging it, just that I don't understand the philosophy here.

One poster has the copyright/tradename rights to it, the other poster is a mere infringer. Does that help? Oh, and neither use violates the terms of use, because while it may be offensive to some (including me a bit), it's not per se racist.

It's not even racist "per se". It's not racist at all.

It would be racist if used in a negative way, but I "invented" it only as another word for "minorities" and Sanders appeal to them.

Heck, I didn't even "invent" it: Scrubs (or Turk) did.

Also:

Sanders is flush with cash and should air more ads in Blaxicasian-rich states such as SC and NV to improve his standing in the coming months, highlighting that Hilldog only talks about helping working-class Blaxicasians now, but then implements center-right policies that will hurt middle-class Blaxicasians after she's elected. Sanders has already fought with civil rights activists when Hilldog still sh*t into her diapers and his policies are much better than hers in helping out middle-class, working Blaxicasians. He simply needs to point that out more in the coming months.

OK, you're the publisher then. Suppose you loved using the term "Negroes," and a bunch of posters, particularly black ones, objected. Would you say, OK, if it offends you, I will stop using the term, or say, hey bud, it's not racist, and chill and get a life please? Just asking.

I never use the word Negro, it has a negative undertone - unlike Blaxicasian (which is just an art-word for minority).
