(Anything said before “but” does not matter)
I’m going to re-phrase your comment and let the community decide if you’re racist.... after the “but”....
“”The reason why your suggestion would come off as racist is because the reason why there's a stereotype that white men cant jump or that some people refer to whites using the racist term non-jumpers is because of segregation. White people were not allowed to join country clubs or to go to local basketball courts in many places so they were deprived the opportunity to learn how to jump! This is why we should not forget our past!
I honestly haven't seen the movie Black men can’t swim so I can't tell you how racist it is or isn't. However, to just say white men cant jump is kinda racist when you take into account the history of it all.””
Are you being intentionally stupid? No one was stopping white people from playing sports or anything like what black people had to deal with. That’s her point and why she said it’s racist givin the history. No one was depriving white people like they did and arguably still are blacks and other minority’s. Learn some history.
How is it a stereotype exactly? It’s a fact that black people were slaves in this country not white people. We had the Jim Crow laws. black people were attacked by the kkk not white people. these are facts and not the same as stereotypes.
I hate to tell you this, man but white people were, in fact, slaves in this country, to include my ggg grandmother. Irish "indentured servants" were a hot commodity in Virginia in the 18th to 19th centuries.
That was a really poor argument on that site. It doesn't "define" the word or it's use, it gives one person's opinion.
The information she put before the "but" is not negated by what comes after. Someone trying to avoid a ball but still being hit doesn't negate the first part of the sentence.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/but
I didn't see any that worked for your "definition". Most og them would not work as sentences without the first half. The only one I can see it working for is "I'm sorry, but..." and that is not because of grammar.
If you're going to try to be a grammar nazi, at least do it well. All you've done here is make yourself look like an ignorant, self important twat.
Double standards and racism

White people in the past weren't deprived? And you tell others to read history? Oh boy lol
Are you sure about this?
From what I gather, you are perpetuating the reality/stereotype.
If you were a white child growing up in Africa, your disposition would be flip flopped entirely, would it not?

If I’m wrong show me. It’s just a historical fact that in America none white people were treated worse than white people

Wow, that makes a whole lot of sense.
Are you intentionally perpetuating a stereotype?

There's no arguing with racist trolls :/
