Yeah see I think you've sort of painted yourself into a corner with this, where the only way of defending your position is to pretend something obviously true isn't true. If you're going to define racism in a way that excludes comments that are so well established that they have wikipedia pages about them[1] and are literally listed in the category "Racism in the United States", then I think you've effectively said there's nothing that could possibly be said that is racist.

No, you are reading into that comment the "Go back where you came from" intent that simply is not there unless you go into looking for that.

No where did the person say "Go back where you come from", can you read it that you if you want to sure. but I can (and do) read it in other ways.

This is part of the problem where everyone sees every comment as a "dog whistle" to racism. Sorry I reject that reading

The quote is literally

>Go to Puerto Rico fix you abuelas roof and stay living there

I don't think it's a leap to relate that to go back where you came from, and I don't think other people think that either - since the wikipedia page literally cites as an example of this racist trope.... Donald Trump saying

>Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came...

Who did he say that in reference to? AOC.

So it's not really a leap is it. But what I'm interested in, is that you claim to read a different meaning into this, so be specific, what do you think the person posting in reply to AOC meant by that?
