Why do you think they stayed silent?

I dont know, I seemingly dont have that preternatural 'racist or ignorant' superhero radar power that you do. Nor do I have any subjective (or objective) knowledge of why *anyone* in that group chanted (or conversely, didnt chant).

What is your super duper insightful view based on 15 secs of clips tell you of why some didnt chant?

I already answered that above. I can see three rational reasons as to why people chanted that - they’re racist, they’re ignorant of the historical context of chanting “Send her back,” or they wanted to be intentionally inflammatory.

As much as you keep trying to dance around it and rationalize it, “go back where you came from” is a phrase/concept said to people of many ethnicities over the years that was built on racism/nativism.

You havent been in business long.

I agree it *can* be used in racial sense. But all your squawking overlooks a significant other usage of it.

As much as you squawk it to death, I have heard that in form or another for a quarter of century solely in high pressure, high stakes negotiations, and/or litigation. I have used it for more than that quarter of century, even in the businesses I was in prior to the legal world.

Main context is a kind of a big point the other side wants, and there has been deadlock..... well, why dont you go back where you came from

Or the added ask is a deal breaker ---- well, you why go back where you came from.

Some pipsqueak know it all starts tossing a fit because 'they' know the way and no one else could *ever* do it --- go back to where you came from, do it, then get back to us on it.

Its abrupt, short, pithy, and tells the other side to 'pound sand' on an issue. Not really a 'lets get this done somehow' message.

Are you actually that ignorant of that usage? Whether or not, seriously, cut with mumbo-jumbo that absolutely and completely overlooks lacks a very real alternative grounded in the real world.

I would assume a New York developer has heard it a time or two, perhaps even used it as much as me or more from that context.

Jump up and down and squawk to heart's content on this one. Your freneticism on this is getting somewhat tiresome.

You want to think the only usage is 'racial'? Knock yourself out, son.

You want to tell me it has zero other usage? Well, in that case, this seems a perfect context: go back to where you came from, son.

You want to impliedly tell me you are *the* world class entomologist, sociologist, and expert on the phrase? go back to where you came from, write a report on it, and get back to me on it.
