. The fact remains however, that the overwhelming majority of Muslim terrorists are of Arab descent.
Interesting claim. Back it up.

And again, you won't answer my question,
Couldn't find the info, could you? Face it, she associated skin color to whether someone was a bad guy. Yet even in the case she was discussing, there were clear examples that skin color is useless when it comes to determining whether someone is a bad guy. What does that leave us with? Well, it's simple she believes that looking like an Arab is enough to determine whether someone is a terrorist. As opposed to you know... people with masks shooting at civilians. Please, don't do these many gymnastics to defend a ridiculous question. She said it, it was racist, move on. :shrug:
I'm not answering any more of your questions
You don't have to. I've already gotten what I wanted out of the conversation. You disagree with her implication that "bad guys" can be sorted out by race. You can't even dignify answering why. I suspect it is because even you - a defender of everything FOX - realizes that it's racist as ****. Now, we're just doing that thing where you rage about liberalism and then you write a long post about what leftists do. All because you couldn't even admit that the implications of her question were racist as hell.
They were not racist and you know it
"That's my question about these guys. If we know they were speaking unaccented French and they had ski masks on, do we even know what color they were, what the tone of their skin was? I mean, what if they didn't look like typical bad guys? As we define them when we think about terror groups."

You can tell by his lilly white skin that he's a good guy.

He's got light enough skin to be a babysitter.
Utter nonsense. Why can't you tell whether someone is bad by skin color? What would that mean?

No answers from you... no answers from me.
Debate is a 2 way street, and not meant for people who's beliefs can't hold up to simple questions.
I hadn't realized that those guys were Muslim terrorists?

Ah ok, so the goalpost has moved. But that's ok since muslim terrorists come in all kinds of colors...Well color me shocked!
I just looked up those 2 guys and they weren't Muslim terrorist at all... One of them was a serial killer, not a "terrorist" and neither one of them was even Muslim.
You're obviously the victim of false information.

1. When did the goalpost move? The phrase "bad guys" in that quote was a direct reference to Muslim terrorists... More specifically, the 2 Muslim terrorists responsible for the murders last week in France.
2. Nobody is claiming that all Muslim terrorists are of Arab descent, or all Muslims of Arab descent are terrorists. The comment was based on the physical description of the typical Muslim terrorist, most of which are overwhelmingly of Arab descent and have different physical features than most people of European descent, including a different tone of skin.
This notion that she was not specifically talking about Muslim terrorists, or that she was proclaiming all Muslim terrorist to be of Arab descent, is just ridiculous. Doing so is far worse than "moving the goalpost", it's a flat out untruth.
As far as I've heard the terrorists in France weren't of Arab descent either, they were of African lineage. To think that someone "looks like a terrorist" because they're of Arab descent is still pretty dang racist.

I don't see the statement as racist, per se, but I do see the issue a matter of practical reality.
Not factoring in race/skin color is stupidly naive. If you're searching for a specific person for a crime you want to make the apprehension of said suspect as quick and efficient as possible. That means knowing individual known characteristics and weeding out irrelevant characteristics. If a person is X color, they're X color. Suck it up and say so. Don't waste everyone's time looking for Y color.
Again, that is irrelevant. It doesn't change the fact that the overwhelming majority of Muslim Terrorists are of Arab descent.
Did you watch the clip of that discussion? If so, how come you don't seem to know what she was specifically talking about, the statement that she was responding to and the point that she was making?
The question is if a particular statement is racist. As relayed in the OP, it is. And what do you think she meant by "As we define them when we think about terror groups?" What do "typical bad guys" look like when defined in that context?
