Racism, is it used as a defence these days?

[Macgyvercas]

yeah that was annoying. everyone seemed to think australians were super racist but that cause they all think everyone thinks the same as them.

that ad as far as im aware was never shown in the US. the only way people saw it was on the internet from people claiming it was racist.

isnt everything racist nowadays. make a sexist joke, thats racist. make a racist joke, thats racist. make a completely harmless joke that just happens to involve 2 black men walking into a bar, thats racist.

Not sure if your agreeing or being sarcastic here,

The problem with racism is that in some cultures certain things are considered racist while in others they are not.

Ahhh, moral relativism. I was wondering why I hadn't seen that particular brand of philosophy for a while.

Explain?

Moral relativism, in a nutshell, states that there is no absoulte moral truth, and that morality is completely determined by the society in which one lives, rather than one statement that applies to all cultures.

For example, the phrase "Cannibalism is immoral" may be correct in one culture, but not true in another.

(Moral relativism) I will remember this next time I have philosophical discussions in the future.
