No I mean, the word "idiot" is fairly non-specific as used in popular slang, but I personally think the world has a lot more transphobes than idiots

Unless you're conflating "greater range of true propositions" with "greater number of actual instances of the proposition being true", I don't see how the relative numbers of each matters here. The specificity seems a lot more relevant.

Don't take this personally Arthur old chap, but a career as a barrister does not await you.

Stevens v Tillman, 1988, established that accusations of "racism" were per se nonactionable; Grutzmacher v. Chicago Sun-Times, 1994, went further and established that even calling someone a "neo-Nazi" is non-actionable, as it does not refer to specific facts but to opinion

Of course this probably doesn't hold true on Rainy Tea-Stained Fascism Island, but I can't imagine wanting to live there, much less practice law there

Being hateful or fearful toward any foreign race is the literal definition of xenophobia. Said with love. X

Actually the literal definition is being hateful towards people from ALL foreign countries, and doesn't include race at all (which is covered by racism) Neither apply here because it's *specifically* white British people who can absolutely get fucked.

Yeah "xenophobia" means a general dislike of foreigners with an implicit connotation that the more different they are from your home country the more you dislike them The whole Yanks vs Brits thing barely qualifies as this

Ah, you're providing your own connotation to a dictionary definition. Always a sign of a strong position.
Also, 'barely qualified as' means 'but still does qualify as.' Barely win a race and you still take home a gold medal.pic.twitter.com/fTRY4pjjFj
