So because at some point a certain group of people have been mistreated we can never joke about their nationality again?

But if a person with a history of targeting jokes at certain groups and who has expressed views that may be prejudiced, is making Chinese racist jokes, I'm less inclined to interpret their motivation charitably. Do you understand?

Well, he is a comedian so he will end up targeting groups with jokes, But secondly when has he very expressed views that are prejudiced?

He is anti-immigration and that's suspect, he spent the better part of his video speaking towards Maza mocking the man's speech, sexual orientation, and mannerisms. He has his "Socialism is for f*gs" shirt. He has done stereotypical caricatures of trans and Chinese people.

So you never had any good reason to infer that? You just said without cause? Well that's stupid and doesn't prove anything. See, if I infer from Crowder that he might be bigoted, it's because I have things I can point to. Do you see the difference there?

Inferring something from someone's speech is a bad way of finding out someones views since it is likely going to be biased, If i look at a speech given by someone i strongly disagree with i am sure i can start to infer negative things about their views, but again because...

There would be no concrete proof of it it would be a bad idea for finding out someone's views.

Cool. So if we just assume liars don't exist, then your approach is totally valid.

Of course, liars exist but unless you can read minds it is impossible to know if someone is truly lying.
