Is is racist when Muslim is not a race?
I thought we covered this after 9/11.
It is racist because the vast majority of Muslims are South Asian and Middle Eastern.
The first hate murder commited in NYC was against a Sikh man because to these folk brown = Muslim.
Most of these people think Muslim is a race of people with more melanin than them.
I, for one, wish I had more melanin.
Fine. “Bigoted.”
he didn't say racist.
The title of the post did
you didn't reply to the post , you replied to a comment
Human races don't exist and are a concept made up by racists to justify their discrimination.
I fucking hate this "x is not a race" argument so much for that reason. Nothing is a race.
Yes, I get your point, I meant that dividing by culture/religion is the same as dividing by random stuff like skin color, so the first is as shitty as the second
Ask a racist to tell you what a Muslim looks like. If they describe a person they've attached it to race. If they answer that it is a religion and not a race congrats you found the world's smartest racist
If they know that it's a religion and not a race, how are they "racist"? They are a bigot, sure, but not racist anymore...
Well I did instruct to ask a racist specifically
Touche
Fair, I have updated my comment to change racist to bigot
.... No. It means they made a terminology error.
