So, now we are being told that calling someone a "thug" is racist.
Toward which race, exactly?
I pulled up an online dictionary and found this...
noun
1.a cruel or vicious ruffian, robber, or murderer.
2.(sometimes initial capital letter) one of a former group of professional robbers and murderers in India who strangled their victims.
Don't really see anything there that could be construed as being racist.
If we cannot refer to these miscreants as thugs, what are we allowed to call them?

We could call them 'Hooligans', but then everyone would think that we were referring to the Irish.

This is political correctness run amok. There is nothing you can say that won't offend the amoral left and force you to just STFU. That is their real intent, to silence everyone except for themselves.

Any one who say that “thug” is racist is because is himself a racist since is implying that all the “thugs” are Black.

This is one word we can’t let them ruin. They have “gay”, that’s enough.

The terms ‘black rage’ and ‘hands up dont shoot and ‘black lives matter’ are racist dog whistles.
