He isnt necessarily racist but he is definitely ethnocentric.
He talks as if colonialism never happened. He's like a white guy in the US acting like slavery never happened. Or some German that acts like nobody tried to exterminate the minorities. Its scary because at this very moment in history, very little goes on outside of the media involving muslim tensions in western countries. sure a terrorist attack happens now and again. But every single day there are US, European, and Australian killing machines parked all over muslim countries, and here this guy is persuading u all to believe that somehow the issue is whether or not we should tolerate their behavior in our own countries. OMFG has anybody else's head asploded with irony yet? The scary thing about all these dark moments in history is that we see them as historical. in reality people are being rammed up the ass today as badly as ever. we just have new zoning rules and terms for all of it. it basically goes: since we dont have slaves, we have illegal aliens and third world industry instead.
You dont actually think your hard work at the office somehow makes the glass in your windows, or the rubber in your shoes do you? Nope, people working shit jobs, mainly in other countries, or immigrants in our biggest cities do all of the difficult, dangerous and critical work. We mostly farm with machines and migrant workers. If you are born a white Westerner, you have a free ride. You can be a complete moron, do nothing important, but as long as you show up to your job you will get a pay check and some benefits. Good luck finding a doctor in your bombed out afghanistani village. maybe you could pan for russian and american lead to sell back as raw materials?
Its very easy to sit in your upper middle class British home, wearing your sweater vest and little glasses, talking about how nobody can manage to act as civilized as you do. Maybe if he wasnt wiping his ass with magically soft toilet paper woven from egyptian cotton hand-woven in a pakistani sweatshop, he wouldnt have the comfort to reflect on his culture's highly advanced and overly tolerant nature.
If you are going to give people from abroad such a hard time, you should at least realize that you probably wouldnt cut it where they come from. u probably would have died as a baby becuase u are too weak. These kinds of thoughts dont even begin to penetrate the mind of the self-assured biggot.
And muslim nations are no more violent than any other nations. We just cant expect anybody to be peaceful when we are blowing things up in their neighbors yard with apache helicopters. Desperate people in any culture can be brought to violence. But a terrorist is an individual. sort of like the unibomber. Maybe we should have turned the unibombers town into a full scale warzone after he commited his crime? i wonder how those townspeople would act after maybe a 30 generations of living with that oppression. I wonder if its as bad as wearing a veil all the time?
He should come to the US or australia if he wants to see violent white guys. but then im sure they are in britain too, but he is too racist to notice. I would bet that the rate of white guys shooting each other in the US is higher than the rate of muslims killing british people. and the muslims do it to retaliate against years of oppression. in america it happens when we are drunk.
I honestly dont see why this guy is trying to make moral judgements of cultures and religions. Its like Britain doesnt commit an obvious crime against humanity for a hundred years or something so he starts talking as if some cultures are better than others.
I'm adding him to my list of people that will be reincarnated as slaves.
