    People know that a sub-community is like a subset. A smaller part of the larger community. Not a lower class of people.

    Right?

      That’s how dog whistles work, mate. There’s always plausible deniability.

      How it’s explained and how it’s intended don’t have to be the same. Although I don’t think badenoch is witty enough to have meant it both ways. She probably just wanted to say subhuman and substituted community and lucky for her it works.

        Honestly, I think people only want to hear the hateful version and aren’t interested in even considering that somebody is trying to broach a sensitive subject that needs to be discussed.

        How about we get past our preconceptions and try to work the problems out. No? Guess we all fucked then.
