Who is Yarvin? How is that relevant? I am not talking about a specific person, I am talking about the argument being made for accepting everyone no matter their "belief".

I'm sorry, did you take that at face value? I thought it was so over the top and ridiculous that people would get that it was sarcasm, but I guess I still have a lot to learn. My bad, sometimes someone's satire is just someone else's actual thoughts...

White racists accept to mingle with non-white despite their beliefs, surely non-white can return the same curtesy?

"Include all! White supremacists, non-white... If a few people (say non-white) feel uncomfortable and don't want to come, we're OK with that 100%!

Everyone should feel included! Racists, homophobes... Respect the beliefs of everyone, like believing there is a god, or that white people are superior, or believing you are being discriminated, or believing people will insult you or assault you at a whim for who you are, or believing you belong in a community full of racist assholes. It's OK 100%, all beliefs are equal, so we shouldn't discriminate people based on that!

That would be even worse than racism if you think about it."

I'm sad and disgusted.
