The Islamophobia Thread

Does it though? Race is not based on biological science, just gross physical appearance and as such I can't really see a value to it. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist or doesn't matter, as a social construct it has massive influence on people's lives and shouldn't be ignored. Just that I would be very hesitant to say that it has value just because some people look different to others.

[smiles beatifically] I'm sure they will teach me all I need to know about growing turnips. An' if they don't, well, I have a cunning plan to convince them! It involves fried chicken and watermelons, which I will then cleverly swap for turnips. They'll never see the difference!

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

But fried chicken and watermelons are part of the Afro American stereotype, not the Muslim one (you are from a Muslim Euro Asiatic country, right?)

I for, my part, I will do a lot of athletic work to use my Latino sex appeal, and I will cook some of the best drugs that they will have see! Only the Chinese could be better!

Silly Kazuya, don't you know that we're all the same? You're right, though, I should make them some couscous instead, with baklava and hummus. Because we're still all the same. And then, for my master stroke, I will replace the couscous with cuscus. And then I will play cuscus. In the ensuing chaos, I will make my way out with all their wallets. Because that's what Arabs do. Then once home I'll be stuck with a dilemma: shall I worship their beautiful blue-eyed blond faces, or shall I destroy them as figurative art?

I know this is extremely stupid overall, but the thought of a Muslim WWI story in the vein of Blackadder is swimming in my head with promises of hilarity

Dunno man, racial stereotypes are pretty varied.

Albeit, because I am a good Latino Peruvian, I will cook the best drugs for them, using my andean natural magic (thanks to my dad for that, he did a good job keeping me aware of my real nature -unironically, I have a lot of respect for the andean culture, even when is silly-).

Maybe, if the destiny is kind with me, just maybe, I will find a kind white woman that will bear my childs, so I finally could purify my inferior bloodline.

(That is a actual idea in Peru, there the stereotype that everytime that a Andean dates a white person is because "they want to better their race" , it ranges from jokes lampshading how dumb is that to people that actually believe that to people that actually search only white couples)

It's not limited to Andean people, Mestizos also have that stereotype. I can tell, I know people who say that half-joking, half-serious.

Don't worry man, I'm also in the same spot as you.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, we should find the absolutes that tie us.

Oh boy, I can confirm that, my tendency to have crushes into Pale girls dont help my case (Hey! I have the right to have a type...right....).

Now, to avoid derailing this thread with two peruvian bois complaining about the ridiculousness of their cultural racism, lets go here

Go the the racism thread, we are derailing the things here.

@ Kazuya Prota

In African American culture, there is a stigma in some circles that if you date or even marry a white person then you are going Uncle Tom. Or even accused of turning back on your heritage. I say bull, because I give my blessing to every person who dates outside, as well as those who date inside as well. The reason is that given how black men were even killed for even daring whistling at a white woman, I say it's a middle finger to those past injustices. I say as long as you appreciate and respect black women just as well as white women, I see no reason to have bad feelings for you dating them.

Also everytime a white woman dates black man makes a white supremacist cry.

RE: Turkey and England

The Turks and the English were close during Elizabeth's reign when both were opposing Phillip II of Spain. Even after that England doesn't really turn on the Ottomans until the 1870s and Abdul-Hamid II.

Isn't one actual positive effect of Brexit that Turkey no longer has Britain vouching for its inclusion into the EU? The other voucher was Poland, which has since so gone off the rails into right-wing extremism that it has lost whatever goodwill it had with other EU members.

Poland, vouching for the Turks?

It would certainly be deeply ironic if they did.

The idea presumably was that Turkey needed to be given an economic equivalent of its NATO membership as to solidify anti-Russian bloc in Eastern Europe.

Which made perfect sense in the all the years before Erdogan and his deployment of the refugee waves into Europe as a means to gain leverage.

Turkey still absorbed a disproportionately immense number of refugees on its own, though.

One cant blame Turkey for the refugee problem. Unlike, say, the Kurdish problem.

Or the Armenian one for that matter.

This took place in Yogyakarta a few hours ago. The comments... well... See for yourself.

"Churches are a common target for Islamic militants in Indonesia" The fuck? Attacking People of the Book is commom?

"Video shows people in the church throwing books at the 22-year-old suspect as he lunged toward them with his sword."

Well, they are People of the Book.

Come on, boys, throw the book at 'im!

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Sadly, there has been precedence of this in Indonesia.

One of the earliest ones took place at the Full Gospel Bethel Church in Kepunton, Solo, Central Java.

What's with the name, though? Evangelical?

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Pentecostal actually.

How are they different?
