Anthropology Teacher hates Trump, how should I answer to her weekly discussion question /pol/? Here's the article she linked us http://www.thenation.com/article/trumps-racism-didnt-scare-me-now-it-does/

Tell her postmodernism is shit and she's shit for holding that kind of bullshit epistemology.

There should be no change to the first amendment. This is simply because hate speech against a certain race is simply a myth, as we all know race does not exist.
It says the social system in America quite enjoys dank memes. The underlying beliefs of some Americans are again, quite simple; they are not cucks, nigger sympathizers, Islam sympathizers nor are they communist.
Nothing Trump has said constitutes hate speech.
Fucking retards
Anthropology is one of the most blue pilled major almost sociology tier.
>>68817514
1. Hate speech laws restrict free speech. Unrestricted free speech is a core facet of American life.
2. Trump's support says virtually nothing about the social system in America. At best it says people are frustrated with a government that has been failing them and breaking promises.
Dear teacher
I think trump I'd a bratty cool guy. It says America isn't afraid PC CULTURE and also is MORe good in without SOCIALSTS. GOD Bless trump
Amen
Tell her no based on the premise that once you have 'hate speech' you are at the mercy of the state to decide what is 'hate' and you're effectively in a tyranny at that second.
His acceptance shows that Americans are furious with not being represented. Neither of the two large parties serves the people's interests.
"Quite frankly I am disgusted that a teacher would use her position to push her political ideology on to her students." And then just btfo her with facts.

Why is a Canadian teacher discussing US politics and using Trump as an excuse to instigate anti-hate speech rhetoric to college students?
>>68818741
P.S. I don't support Trump, but your teacher is dumb as hell.
>>68817514
1. In order for free speech to work, no speech can be restricted, unless the speech is creates a clear and present danger. No "hate speech" causes clear and present danger, unless they are specific threats or calls to violence. From a philosophical standpoint, you would have to first create an objective definition for "hate speech" - I believe you would be surprised how difficult you'll find it to define without also describing some leftist rhetoric as "hate speech."
2. It mainly seems to say that Americans agree with his policies, or at least like his policies more than the other candidates. It seems they would prefer stronger border protections and emphasis on American self-sufficiency reduction of government power over other, more conservative Republican candidates, the establishment darling Hillary Clinton, or the wealth distribution policies of Bernie Sanders.

Tell her that you're a massive fucking faggot who posts his homework on a place that hates everything progressive and loves Trump, on a website founded on Iranian changing cave paintings and populated by a bunch of fat sweaty disgusting pedophile neckbeards.
Then proceed to tell her that neither she, nor you have ANY effect on the US election, and that she should stop wasting you're hard earned shekels talking about it in class.

I can only speak from my own experiences, but when I was in university here most assignments included defending liberal politics. You gotta play their game if you want the degree.
Topic 1: say that the trump campaign pretty much proves silencing tactics like hate speech laws aren't going to change attitudes
or
topic 2: say underprivileged whites are Trump's biggest demographic and say the reason he's gained so much popularity is that these groups have been sidelined by the people who are supposed to represent them (read: democrats). Compare to other populist nationalist parties in Europe EG UKIP, AfD, PiS, SD, etc etc gaining in popularity
>>68818945
>is

How can free speech be real if our eyes aren't real?
>>68817514
>Donald Trump does not use racist rhetoric. His rhetoric is anti-illegals, anti-crime and pro-safety. Mexican illegals aren't a race, Muslims aren't a race.
>Free speech is necessary for honest discussion. If speech itself is restricted, then it becomes hard to articulate certain ideas. Ideas which might have some merit to them and should be considered despite their harsh nature.
>I'm not sure what you are asking here. What exactly are his beliefs? What do you mean by "social system"? In any scientific discussion, we have to define our terms properly, otherwise misunderstanding are inevitable.
>>68818942
Not much its just a weekly discussion question we do, trump was this weeks topic chosen by the students.
Wow, I graduated in 2013 and even though I got a science degree I am kind of surprised I completely avoided this shit.

Why don't you support Trump?
For part 1 just post John Stuart Mill's On Liberty.
"First, if any opinion is compelled to silence, that opinion may, for aught we can certainly know, be true. To deny this is to assume our own infallibility. Secondly, though the silenced opinion be an error, it may, and very commonly does, contain a portion of truth; and since the general or prevailing opinion on any subject is rarely or never the whole truth, it is only by the collision of adverse opinions that the remainder of the truth has any chance of being supplied. Thirdly, even if the received opinion be not only true, but the whole truth; unless it is suffered to be, and actually is, vigorously and earnestly contested, it will, by most of those who receive it, be held in the manner of a prejudice, with little comprehension or feeling of its rational grounds. And not only this, but, fourthly, the meaning of the doctrine itself will be in danger of being lost, or enfeebled, and deprived of its vital effect on the character and conduct: the dogma becoming a mere formal profession, inefficacious for good, but cumbering the ground, and preventing the growth of any real and heartfelt conviction, from reason or personal experience."
>>68819853
I am in a commerce degree program right now and this is a gen elective I choose, but I guess these classes are all pretty liberal compared to my other classes I've been in.
>>68817514
"The unhappy reality is that some people are always going to gross and vicious things to hurt other people. If they don't destroy property or do violence, ignore them or criticize them. But do not set up an authority to punish them. Any guidelines elaborate enough to distinguish vicious opinions from unpopular ones will be too elaborate to work. In practice, the distinction will be between the opinions which the political authorities find congenial and those which they find inconvenient." - Jonathan Rauch, Kindly Inquisitors, pp. 137
Do your anthropology teacher a favor and point her to this book.
>>68817514
Hooooly shit this looks like fun you really lucked out OP
Give em hell kid.
>>68818813
This. For the facts, just state that Trump did not state all Mexican's are criminals, but there are some who are, and that's who he wants out of the country. Also, tell her that Obama temporarily stopped taking in Iraqi refugees in 2011 to strengthen security proceedings, and that Trump only wants to do the same thing Obama did, and to call Trump racist/xenophobic for temporarily banning muslim migration but not calling Obama racist/xenophobic is hypocritical and the exact reason why Trump has so many followers, because they're all upset of the hypocrisy of the left.
>>68820059
Oh, this is college? Holy shit.
>>68817514
Maybe you should organize with some students and talk to the dean about that professor replacing curriculum with political debate

>>68817514
"I thought I was paying money and spending time in this class to learn things, not make you feel better about your political biases. For that, you need to pay me money."
The first one should be easy if you've thought about this for any time. Watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyoOfRog1EM
And paraphrase the salient points. To wit:
>Who is it that will determine what speech may or may not be uttered, what books may or may not be read, what thoughts may or may not be thought?
As for the second, it's a bit more complicated. Firstly I would make the distinction between society and the 'social system' (pic related.) Too often it is assumed that for any woe that might befall someone there should be an appropriate governmental response. To better answer this question you should define what you mean by 'social system'. If things like welfare and whatever are what she means (it is a she, isn't it?) I would question what relevance at all it has with the Trump campaign. The role of the President has much more to do with things other than that, like national security, like simply enforcing the laws of the land (which you and she would have learned in Civics class if you had ever taken it.)
To be real though, you already know what you should say. The first is a gimme, there is no right or wrong answer (unless the teach is a cretin) as long as you outline your reasoning for your opinion. The second is where she's looking to separate the wheat from the chaff and discover the students who agree with her (to get an A) and the students who don't (to get a B, C, or D depending on how well argued your points are.) To ensure an A, cite trump's racism and xenophobia and whatever and how there must have been a resurgence of blah blah blah, just google shaun king or ezra klein and paraphrase
>>68818741
This.
>>68817514
loaded questions with opinions injected instead of objective truths. I suggest reporting her to the dean as she's making her pupils dumber.
I am looking at some of my other classmates responses and they all pretty much agree to putting more laws in place regarding freedom of speech.
>>68817514
Tell her there needs to be a violent opposition to Trump. Only his death will cure America.
>>68817514
Answer with actual facts, but call her out on being unprofessional by imposing her own ideas onto students rather than letting you get your own
>>68820486
freedom of speech exists to protect controversial speech, because if it didn't invoke negative feelings from anyone it wouldn't need protecting. it's the only reason the law exists.
>>68818840
Anthropology and sociology are useless majors. Hell, pretty much everything in the humanities is shit.
There is no such thing as "hate speech" only speech you agree with and speech you don't agree with. The protections defined in the bill of rights only reaffirm our god given rights, the 1st amendment itself does not give us "free speech" but firmly states something the government is not to restrict, while the 9th says there are many other rights we hold as human beings not listed.
Just because something said is offensive does not make it wrong.
So I must ask, if we ignore free speech and conclude that hate speech is real then who decides what qualifies as hate speech, how do they come to their determination? In some countries speaking in support of homosexuality is considered hateful to their governing religion, does that make the speech wrong? In other countries speaking out against the political leadership is thought hateful, even if the leadership controls the Peoples Republic of North Korea. In reality all speech is objective and worthy of protection. Just because you don't agree with whats being said doesn't mean whats being said should be silenced by law and with the threat of imprisonment.
You fight speech you don't agree with with speech of your own, this is how civil societies operate. Sometimes discourse can get heated but when it escalates to violence the fault is on those who get physical instead of talking it out or simply walking away.
Of course the hate-speech advocate will bring up "fire in a crowded theatre" as justification for censoring speech. What they fail to realize is the history behind that case, that is was wrongly applied to censor anti-war speech and later repealed by the supreme court for being wrong/unconstitutional.

Why do people think hate speech laws will do anything? Won't they just make hate grow? I know I would be pissed off if people took my right to vocalize the thoughts in my head through my mouth in the form of speech away.

He's got some good ideas but they come packaged with the usual stupid side of conservative policies I don't like and he's a shit politician so we can expect him to stir up trouble with other countries.
I might still vote for him though because I want to see the chaos that could follow.
the first amendment protects all forms of speech, including hate speech, you cannot limit it in any shape or form, either deal with it or kill yourself

>>68817514
report this to the university
It's easy to spot the fuckers on here that went to shit unis.
Any college/university worth its salt is SUPPOSED to ask you provocative questions and make you defend difficult positions. There was a dude on here last week talking about how he studied history at Glasgow University and they had a discussion defending fucking Adolf Eichmann. That's supposed to be how education works. It's only a problem if you were be marked down for taking the 'wrong' stance which is only something you'll encounter at a shit school; going crying to the dean about it is no better than those fucking crybabies crying about safe spaces.
>tfw majoring in economics
All the teachers are pretty much centrist or centre-right. You'd think that there would be a shit load of politics being discussed in class, but there aren't, especially in the mathematically inclined courses. It's in the electives that I have to take where politics are brought into discussions that shouldn't even occur. I took a philosophy of law course and on the first day of class the teacher talks about how she hates Stephen Harper. In a humanities course the teacher randomly starts talking about how IQ is a pseudoscience when we are supposed to be talking about the Renaissance. In a poli-sci course about economic societies the lecturer I had was based and neutral, but the TA was constantly shitting on Adam Smith and talking about how she loved Marx's critique of capitalism and how Keynes was right about everything. And yet in my Economics courses all the teachers tend to shy away from politics and remain neutral.

State the points ITT (obvi take them with a grain of salt, remember where you are, and don't go full retard), then turn the question around on her.
Ask her something along the lines of:
Why is she (if in fact she isn't) not ridiculing candidates on other side.
>>68817514
The first question implicates that racist rhetoric needs to be restricted. Racist rhetoric, much like any other inflammatory speech, discomforts the listener. However, the duty of protecting people from discomfort belongs to the people experiencing that discomfort, not the government. To allow the government to "protect" its citizens from discomfort allows the government to decide what causes discomfort, and by extension decide what counts as inflammatory speech. By allowing to the government to decide what offends people, we open ourselves up to possible abuse of power limiting in our speech to what the government deems acceptable. For this reason alone, the government should not have clearer hate speech laws, as it sets a precedent that the government determines acceptable speech.
Donald Trump's support indicates a dissatisfaction with contemporary American politics and a rising feeling of American nationalism. While their methods of seeking to "make America great again" seem misguided to some, Trump supporters and all other supporters of different political candidates and ideologies all take part in the same search. In other words, even though all Americans see differently, they all share the goal of improving America. Trump's success depends on him tapping into this implicit nationalism, the very which defines the social system as a whole.

I was talking to the chair of my program the other day (Comp Sci), he has a PhD in Electrical Engineering and mostly does research in Robotics.

He's a:
>Climate-change skeptic

Not necessarily. If OP feels strongly enough and has the tools at his disposal to argue his case, he should call her on it. Disagree. And if she obviously marks him down for it THEN complain.
And by complain, I also mean "tweet Trump about it".

Intelligently and with as much integrity as you can muster.

I don't think you quite grasp it. Other anon's past experiences would say that there is a very good likelihood that the teacher would report him to the dean/department if he tried to actually defend Trump. US university system is awful in this regard. Tweeting Trump *might* help, but there's not a guarantee he would even see the message, let alone be able to do something substantial about it.

Take her opinions to their logical conclusion.
>1. Hate speech laws will never be effective in combating racism, because racism persists through the physical presence of "white" bodies. The only way for racism to be diminished is to totally disenfranchise so-called "white people" and make it illegal for them to vote or run for office. However, such measures don't go far enough. "White people" everywhere must be wiped forever from the face of the earth through a worldwide campaign of deliberate, systematic genocide, exterminated right down to the last babe in arms. Only this way can the last spark of racism be extinguished.
>2. The American social system has proven itself unworthy of existence and needs to be purged. All wreckers with anti-social or counter-revolutionary inclinations should be rounded up into a system of re-education camps or, preferably, killed outright. The only way to truly stamp out a problematic idea is to introduce everyone who holds it to the barrel of a gun.
>>68822386
>the teacher would report him to the dean/department if he tried to actually defend Trump
On what grounds? There aren't any.
Just stick to the facts, stick to your position and call her on it if you think she's not being fair. Other than that, so long as your argument isn't completely retarded or logically inconsistent, you're fine (or should be).

It's too bad your cities couldn't avoid the SJW drama too.
It Just felt weird being in class this week, because we voted to discuss trump for this class and instead of having any actual discusion it was just everyone repeated garbage about how he hates mexican and muslims and black people and supports the kkk etc. There wasn't so much a discussion just a circlejerk about how bad he is for an hour followed by a john oliver video.

>Drop the class after responding to the fact that she is in a teaching position and instead of doing her job she forces who world views upon the youth. If she is a true teacher she should be able to let her students make an educated decision without her personal bias
Pretty much this.
As a graduate student, I taught classes on the front lines, and worked behind the scenes with different professors to grade, answer emails, and plan classes. There is absolutely no excuse for a teacher who can't remove her personal bias from the lesson plan.

1. No. The way to fight hate speech is with more speech, not by suppressing speech. Even the liberal as fuck ACLU agrees with this.
2. It says that the silent majority who work hard in society are fed up at seeing America's prosperity go down the drain in order to please those who had little or no part in creating or maintaining said prosperity. It says that many Americans have underlying beliefs that America needs to be made great again.

By running as a republican he can dominate one half of the mainstream debate.

I lived and worked there for a little over a year. Great place to live. Good food, chill people, beautiful. However, I cannot fucking imagine going to school there.
I had a client once who told me she was a local professor. We were discussing various personal items and I mentioned that my fiancee wanted us to move to Nevada. She cringed as though the very thought of the state was anathema to her. "It's very conservative out there. Too conservative." I explained that I considered myself extremely centrist and would not mind living around people with extremely differing political views. I said it would give me far more opportunities to engage in debate to empower my own belief system and views and potentially convince others of a more moderate, Libertarian-leaning sort of thinking.
Her response? "Oh," she said, frowning and shaking her head slowly, "I couldn't do that. I'm not strong enough to do that."
These are the people who educate the next generation. Our own educators are weak-minded, indoctrinated sheep who are incapable of existing outside of a hugbox echo chamber. Being that she was my client, I merely shrugged and nodded in a mildly condescending fashion. Were I not a wage cuck, I would have told her she disgusted me and I weep for the future of our society.

1. Being opposed to illegal immigrants has nothing to do with racism, argument invalidated, it's about upholding current law.
2. The support of Trump's stance shows that a large number of Americans are unhappy with current law being ignored and are intent on seeing rule of law return.

During the Marianas Boat Lift, where we let thousands of Cuban refugees into Florida, the Cuban government sent a few thousand mental patients and violent criminals over.
It would be naive of anyone to think the Mexican government isn't taking advantage of the situation in the same way.
Not to mention the criminals that get deported, only to return and commit more crimes when they get back. Gee, I wonder what happened from the time we turned them over to the Mexican government and when they came right back?
This source lays it out pretty well
http://www.uh.edu/~adkugler/Card_1990.pdf
It also is a good look at how illegals and work visas dilute the labor pool and lower everyone's wages. Back in the 80s only the minorities competed for the 'shit jobs' and nowadays everyone does. The 125k refugees lowered wages and raised unemployment.
The paper also gives a good look at mass immigration's affect on aggregate demand... The common arguement goes that 'immigrants' create demand for goods and services, but this is only true when you cut off the flow and give it a few years to catch up. Our government has been taking every step possible to not only keep the flow from ending, but to increase it.
Fuck, I want to punch your professor.

Responses that don't betray Trump but also won't get you in trouble:
1. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
American rights are, thankfully, a two-way street, and I think that U.S. laws governing hate speech are adequate as they stand (i.e. specific enough to prevent truly destructive forms but open enough to prevent fascist-like censorship). As for how this relates to Trump? If everything he says is to be believed as ideals he truly holds, allowing this form of speech will give voters more insight into the type of person they are potentially electing.
2. When a person is driving and hits a patch of ice, the natural human inclination is to turn against the swerve. In this same way, support for Trump may potentially be a response to a strong social swerve to the left--that response being a strong swerve to the right (which is up for debate, since both the left and the right seem to be casting Trump as a perfect example of the opposite side). Perhaps, then, it's a symptom of a social system that's become too polarized for its own good. Perhaps folks have become so occupied with removing labels that they've failed to realize it's all they concentrate on anymore. As for acceptance of his ideas and what said acceptance says about the underlying beliefs of some Americans, it truly depends upon why a person supports Trump in the first place. I'm willing to bet that most are Utilitarian in their thinking. Obviously, a person who supports racist rhetoric for the sole purpose that said rhetoric is racist--well, that person is, indeed, a racist. But the overwhelming support he's receiving implies to me that the reasoning is a bit more complex than that.
>>68817514
>First question
I would ask her to explain detail what Trump has said that's actually racist because that's what she's not so subtly implying. Secondly, to answer her question, no, limiting free speech based on personal feelings is a slippery slope.
>Second question
You can answer both parts by saying that it shows how people are fed up with the way things are. They're fed up with being told that they're bigoted Islamophobes when they get mad about Jihadist terror attacks and they don't want those people in their country, they're mad when they get told that they're bigoted racists for being opposed to illegal immigration and wanting someone who will do something about it. They're tired of a system where candidates and politicians serve their donors and not the people.

Americans are fed up with being treated like absolute shit for absolutely fuck all. Say the wrong thing on twitter and your life is torn to shreds by strangers all around the country that knew nothing of you until you wrote "Maybe we should talk about Islam" and people are sick of it, so naturally they gravitate to the man who can say what he wants and nothing happens to him because he represents the freedom of speech they once held dear. On top of that, it shows Americans are done with the current political and ruling class and want someone fresh who is already shaking things up in a monumental way, with all sides of the establishment and the 1% and the media trying to tear him down desperately.
Also, respond with lots of facts about him not being a racist and that islam isn't a race and secure borders isn't racist rhetoric.

(1) You tell her that racist discourse in America, prior to Trump, was already largely banned and yet, if we are to take her hypothesis as true, it apparently didn't help to stem the feelings of racism in America since a candidate like Trump actually seems to be possible.
The conclusion is that preventing hateful speech doesn't actually work and there are actually reasons for that. When you prevent people from actively voicing certain belief, you do not modify those belief but merely make them hidden, socially inexpressible but never the less held and shared in the darker discursive spaces of society.
This doesn't actually arm the belief but rather help it since, being hidden, it isn't subject to any kind of criticism or response. The concern of those who held those beliefs aren't actually addressed.
Furthermore, it creates resentment among those who actually hold these beliefs. Since there is no answer being forth coming regarding the opinions they hold, and since they're not able to voice them, they are left with the impression that what they think is correct but that a social taboo is being unjustly enforced against them.
When a candidate such as Trump comes along who seems to be able to overcome this taboo, he is seen as a hero.
[There's more to this. It's all about how hiding information doesn't actually help anybody. Liberal are fucking idiots.]
>>68829902
I don't get it.
>sue me
Where does restricting speech end? Offense is never given, it is taken. Newspeak a lá 1984 will have to be developed because there will always be one person who takes offense at a word because someone said it in a negative context. Historical literature and stories will have to be banned and burned so that these "offensive words" won't be used any longer.
2. America is busted and needs a new paintjob. The government is corrupt and makes legislation to block internet access to certain sites and force internet providers to give out personal information to companies to be used in marketing. It also forces medicare to people, making it more expensive and widespread. Not for the peoples health, but because the healthcare companies needed money.
Trump gets to people because he is relatively open about his ideas to change America for the greater.

I agree with a few of his policies but that's about it. He doesn't fit a pivotal role that the Commander in Chief is supposed to fill: Chief Citizen.
I despise political correctness, but Trump has absolutely no filter. Some consider that a good thing, but he has demonstrated no articulation to turn what might be considered blatant insults into legitimate talking points.
It's like if a /pol/lack went out into public and started demonstrating saying nothing but
>"Niggers are criminals! They're all fuggin shit!"
as opposed to formulating non-biased, objective statements such as
>African Americans perpetuate ~50% of all violent crime in the US, which is not consistent with the population of African Americans, which is ~13% of the entire US population according to statistics from the US DoJ
Plus we have no clue if he (or any of these fuck-faces running) can actually successfully implement these policies they're pushing. We have checks and balances for a reason. If Trump gets blocked at every turn by the establishment in Congress or the SC, nothing will get done and he (or anyone else) will be a failure.
If Trump were to become a successful Pres. we'd have to unfuck our system and culture first. Not later, but now.

The US should not have hate speech laws, because what constitutes hate speech changes as time and perceptions change, much like how the definition of obscene and offensive speech has changed.

Oh. My bad, dawg
I got a degree in Anthropology and this type of question just makes me sick. For one, these questions aren't based in any type of Anthropological way, they're simply political opinions. I would say that hate speech is subjective, and according to the UN it's based on whether or not there is a call for violence on a group of people, with immediate danger. Trump really hasn't called for violence, except about hitting that protester, which you can say is wrong. However, he's not saying to go after any groups of people.

>>68834059
Redpilling liberals on freedom of speech is pretty easy because making speech "forbidden" has a mystifying effect, and it also allows those being restricted to be the underdogs which is used as a recruitment strategy. There's also the whole "truth does not fear investigation" shpeel, many people legitimize their beliefs on the basis of them being shut out.
Trump absolutely abused PC culture to boost his popularity. His whole campaign got off the ground by being politically incorrect. People were shocked, and he got tons of air time. People like him because being politically incorrect sounds fresh and honest, unlike the sterile, calculated messages from career politicians. Without such excessive PC culture, Trump wouldn't have a podium.
Also you can touch on the conflict between BDS SJWs and butthurt jews that's been happening. Who defines hate speech? How will that definition change in the future? Because leftist movements get accused of hate speech too. When boycotting apartheid earns you accusations of antisemitism things get murky.
