    So you agree there is no American ethnic group. Thanks for trolling.

    Only if there is also no Ethiopian ethnic group. But of course, there IS an Ethiopian ethnic group, just as there is an American ethnic group, just as there is an ethnic group in every country in the world. If you can prove otherwise, then go ahead.

    It was like a forum ban. Ilhan Omar, a Somali American politician from Minnesota, was mocked by Laura Loomer, who is Jewish. The Jewish right-wing types are vehemently anti-Muslim because of the Israeli-Palestine conflict and there are similar posts on her facebook.

    What are you talking about? It is YOUR argument that there is an ethnic group in Ethiopia but not in America, right?

    There is no point at all to talk about if the American is an ethnic group. It's off topic.

    Its not off topic, it is just convenient for you to leave it behind because you know that you've been caught out! You have said that it is an "ethnic slur" to say that someone supports something that is part of Ethiopian culture, right? Now IF you were convinced that America has an ethnic group, would you say that it is an "ethnic slur" to say that someone supports something that is part of US culture? Will you admit to having a gross double standard?

    That's... using an ethnic Ethiopian slur against ethnic Ethiopian.

    The entire subject IF an American is on it's own an ethnic group has nothing to do with the subject. You're just distracting to shun away from you admitting that Loomer used an ethnic slur.

    What about using an American slur against ethnic Americans?

    Are you just able to simply state what you think the difference is between the US and Ethiopia in terms of them being able to be considered "ethnic groups?"

    I take it you admit it was an ethnic slur against an ethnic Ethiopian, since you're now deflecting away from that.

    Yes, but ONLY in the same way that the equivalent would apply to Americans, which you STILL cannot bring yourself to admit!

    They are under zero obligations to be fair to their users an the fact that they had not ban Trump for a large percent of his postings tell you that they are not indeed not going to enforced their rules fairly.

    Illegal so expressing an opinion is now illegal in your opinion?

    Next you can indeed be sue for any harm for falsely defaming someone but that is not a criminal act under our laws but a civil tort.

    Did I say that they did have an obligation to be fair? No, I'm just saying that they are a joke of a company who can't be taken seriously because they claim to be objective but clearly are not. And what Twitter rules has Trump violated exactly?
