    I find direct offensive bigots really interesting, they clearly have problems in their life, and their response to these problems is to create MORE problems.

    I have enough problems in my life to try and actively stir up more of them.

      That little asshole in school who miraculously made it through every year, despite being a bully and dumb as shit?

      Turns out they don’t despawn after school. They keep going in life and turn up in places like that.

        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.

        It is when the racist thinks Muslim is a race. On a related note, i got called racist here lemmy for being anti American. Americans really really wanna be the victims

          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

      I just can’t comprehend being that hate filled. Like to have all that hate living rent free is just weird to me.

      Now I’m not a happy man at the best of times and struggle with the desire to continue living but I’m still not a hateful little prick and I’m just trying to live my own life let alone try to tell anyone else how to live theirs.

      Interesting perspective. I see your point, but have you thought about the fact that minorities exist? Surely they can’t be expected to ignore that!
