The first two sentences.
Sure it does. They are a group of people with a shared attribute that distinguishes them from other groups. They have shared traditions, history, society, and social treatment. Your own link says the exact opposite of what you wanted it to say if you actually bother to read it and think about it.
Just saying no doesn't support your stance. It's actually kinda sad.
Ignoring your own-goal and failure to recover isn't going to work. I found my backing in the first two sentences of your link.
How does it not? Just saying that it doesn't is insufficient. Just saying no is not making a real case. Asking for examples from unrelated sources doesn't apply. Look at those two sentences and explain how they don't apply. Or own that you were wrong.
I literally just called you out on those pathetic deflections. You provided the link. The first two sentences set out the criteria for an ethnicity. I showed which parts applied. You can't refute it. Your link didn't have have any mention of government documents. That's a distraction that you are hoping to latch on to because you were dead wrong about what you said and linked. I'm hoping what is driving you to behave so irrationally is that you find it difficult and embarrassing to admit that you were wrong.
You are deflecting again. Show me were that list promises to be an exhaustive authority on every ethnicity. Even if you were to do that doesn't address that actual issue. You provided a link with criteria for an ethnicity. If you actually read the criteria and ask does this criteria apply to lgbtq people you get several yes answers. I backed up my statement with direct quotes from your own link. You have been trying to deflect and distract from that and it's both obvious and pathetic. Use your link and show that none of those criteria apply to lgbtq.
What does not apply? The quote from your own link does not apply
I've politely shown you that your own link agrees with me and you, in bad faith ever since, have avoided addressing the content of your link. You have not given me several documents, you have given two links one which I showed said the opposite of your point and one which I showed was not relevant. Stating it as several documents is a weak rhetorical tactic to try and make you sound like you have performed better than you have and is in reality just a lie.
Use the first two sentences of your link and explain how none of the criteria applies. You won't. You are dishonest and the engaging in bad faith. I really do hope it's some sad pride that makes you dig in on this topic.
If there is a problem with me then it's that I call out bad faith arguments. Like yours.
I provided you with a quote from the first two sentences of the same document that you supplied. Do you need me to post the exact same link in order for it to count in your mind?
I provided you that quote and then narrowed it down stating exactly which parts applied. You have never once addressed that. You tried to introduce a requirement of other external documents. I don't need to provide other documents or usage cases because the link you provided sets the criteria. I asked you a question about that link. You have been avoiding that link ever since.
I don't think you are even tracking what you are saying.
What is my claim?
My problem is dishonest people. I can keep saying that.
