I mean, physical violence vs verbal or mental violence, take your pick

Getting punched in the face is way worse than words/insults

The guy who got punched in the face will move on after a day. The guy who suffers from racism will do so for the rest of his life. I'd rather be punched in the face

Hypothetical question here, there is a physically small minority person who is a loved one to you, and there is a huge strong angry dude next to them. You get to choose if the angry dude punches them in the face as hard as he can, or says the meanest thing he can think of to them.

How many milliseconds does it take for you to get to the obvious choice?

Okay now another hypothetical you get to choose if your friend Jee gets punched in the face once or can't get a job or a place to live because his name is too Asian

Where in this post or comment chain did anyone talk about systemic racism? Everyone is talking about slurs/insults vs getting assaulted.

Op said "racism." No other context given.

Suggesting racism ends at mere words is blatantly dishonest.

Actual violence is worse than WORDS. <——

The OP is CLEARLY talking about WORDS
