  “comes from a culture that lies about everything”

  What do you think he meant by that ?

  How the logic of his statement works seems very plain to me, we’ve seen that a million times.

    Yes Shaun Maguire is a racist, that’s obvious. Heck he specifically mentioned the Islam.

    But that doesn’t mean people should continue this trend by saying crap like this

    White people get really triggered by uppity brown people.

    That was what I was responding to since the comment of Shaun was about the religion

    It’s literally a virtue to lie if it advances his Islamist agenda

      I’m specifically aiming at the “a culture that…” bit.

      That the same logic with different garbs. It doesn’t become ok because it’s a “culture wink wink”. It’s the same weapon used the same way with a tiny lil’ tweak to try dodge criticism, This is transparent and should not be fooling anyone.

    No, people need to stop making shit about race or skin if you want to beat racism. We are all people in the end.

      That’s a much better way to explain your point. Thank you for clarifying.

        Well probably, but having the discussion about what is acceptable and not is a discussion we should have to make the world a better place.
