Tucker Carlson

Ok so I keep seeing people calling Tucker Carlson a racist and I looked it up but I'm still not getting it

Can you please give me examples of times he's been racist?

I really am trying to understand because I know people who watch his news and I want to let them know if they are falling into a trap

None then?

Hmm, I think being associated with Fox News in any way likely gives off that impression.

I also don't get why Fox News is bad

Quote from ClementineRuby

He supports Trump.

So every trump supporter is a racist?

Quote from ClementineRuby

They range from racially insensitive to racist. Tucker Carlson is not a journalist; he's a news anchor. Some might call him a watered down political personality. Basically much of what he says is not his own. He's a puppet for Fox News writers to control, and many of them are racist.

I feel like the first statement goes for any group of people

Oh course it's not his own, as an anchor it's his job to say what the writers want him to

But that still leaves the question of exact examples and times he or what the writers made him say was racist

Quote from ClementineRuby

No, not every group of people have racist implications as part of their community and ideological system. Every group might have racist and/or racially insensitive members, but it's not always part of a group's beliefs.

Many anchors also serve as writers for their newscasts. But that's not really the point that I was trying to make.

When people refer to Tucker Carlson, they refer to him as who he is on and to Fox News. On those broadcasts and interviews, he's not an individual; he doesn't think for himself. So when people say Tucker Carlson, they don't refer to him exclusively, they refer to the people behind him who actively control what he says. And the people who control what he says are racist.

As for precise examples, I don't understand why you would ask a forum for that information when you could very easily find articles and videos of his statements online yourself. But even putting the racism[1] aside, he (and not just as he is a puppet for alt-right news channels), is incredibly sexist[2].

I already looked things up but couldn't really find anything

Quote from ClementineRuby

Read the articles I linked.

I did

The sexist stuff was horrible, I can't believe there are people in the world who think like that and think it's ok

But as a conservative (you can judge me if you want, it seems all do) I can kind of see the idea of white replacement theory, although I don't really think it has to do with races but just minority vs majority in voting, although I do not agree with insulting people on other sides of the spectrum
