It's much cooler to protest a president of another country across the pond than it is to fight for any number of less important things - poverty, hunger, violence, rape, etc.

If it ain't cool - fuck it.

the cult is so triggered by the protest, they have to resort to the good old fallacy of relative privation. intellectual giants really...

'b-b-but there are brown people doing bad stuff, so people who criticise the emperor are stupid!'

The protest is so culted by the trigger they have to fallacy the intellectual giants privation. Good old resorts really....

Totally agree. There are no other issues other than Trump.

the cult/emperor "argument" again

actually the huge flying trump baby was fun, i am just wondering why actually important problems dont get that kind of attention....trump certainly isnt one for the uk right now

Not to mention the swaths of people protesting a president from another nation. Triggered.

It's also funny how you introduced "brown people" when race wasn't presented.

you really going to try that weak ass country of origin doesn't imply race bullshit?

find a new meme, that's so 2015.

afaik, pakistanis and indians are from the same race, yet their economic success and their crime rates in the UK differ vastly. so yes, it is indeed the country of origin, or the culture by which one was shaped, that is making the difference here; not race or skin color.

actually it was, but that isnt the point, i merely stated a proven fact

it also could be ethnic english rape gangs and i would expect a bigger outrage than a donald trump visit

but since fenderp has no arguments he needs to play the racism card

what year does the "everything right leaning people do is racism" and "muh brown people" belong to?

i agree entirely. however, we'd need to get entirely semantic about this situation, while also taking into account Fender's perspective. I'd rather not poison my brain.

let's all settle on the fact that Pakistan can and has been used as an atypical example of issues "brown people" pose to the western world anecdotally for some time to demonize middle easterners.

i'm not saying you are doing the same, but there's a historical precedent for demonization that's not statistically backed, as you say.

another pertinent example would be female genital mutilation being used anecdotally to deminize Islam, when in reality its more of a subsaharan african issue. child brides are not exceedingly rare in the middle eastern world, but there are clear and atypical hotspots.

that said i doubt fenderp really factors any of this in, he shoots from the hip, and mostly blanks at that.



i'm not sure i have any pinpoint on either. what i can say is that "[country of origin] is not a race" entered the lexicon when Donald Trump made his first speech about mexico sending us rapists. the alt right response was mexican isn't a race in response to it being "racist". i'm sure it permeated in some tumblr post or 4chan previously, but that was it's big break.
