Daniel and Race: Difference between revisions

The '''race''' of people is often considered a sensitive topic, especially for [[Daniel Larson|Daniel.]] He has displayed and demonstrated many instances of intolerance and racist behavior against various individuals and communities, sometimes intentional, and unintentional. His racism most likely comes from comes from several sources, as no concrete one can be found, such as his parental upbringing, isolated formative years, naivety, and desperation to fit in. African-Americans, or black people, are a common target for his xenophobia.

When he was told it was not okay to say the slur, Daniel's response was, “True unless it’s because you are really scared for your safety.” {{Citation Needed}}This statement doesn't make sense, especially given Daniel has also used the slur in situations where nobody is around, using it as a descriptor for the way people act. Daniel believes that the N-word has "self defense" properties, believing when he says it, his assailant will become confused as to why he said it. This confusion could serve to reduce the immediate tension between Daniel & the assailant. This has led to the community deeming it as his "'''tactical word'''" or "'''self defense word'''". Though, this seems to not work in his favor most of the time.  

On May 13th, 2022 Daniel called what seems to be a Latino man [[The N Word|the N-word]] after a dispute over him trespassing on the man's property to charge his phone. In response, the man threatened to "fuck Daniel up" if he didn't remove himself from the property that instant.  

It is unknown if Daniel fully understands the impact of slurs against people. He has defended his use of slurs by saying it's okay to use them under duress. Daniel has said on numerous occasions that he uses a slur as a ‘self-defense-word.’^{[Citation Needed]} Daniel will use slurs maliciously if he is very angry or melting down at someone, like the time he called [[Andrew]] the N Word.

Daniel is particularly racist against Jews. Daniel has been manipulated into believing racist conspiracy theories against Jews like the New World Order. Daniel believes that the Jews, specifically a man named  [[Goldberg Shacklestein]] , are after him. He thinks that World Of T-shirts is Jewish as he has negatively called him a Jew repeatedly.
