I wouldn’t blink if you told me these were randoms you picked up on the streets of Beirut or Latakia. I can probably find a doppelgänger for every person in these photos in a 5-minute stroll down the Ras Beirut corniche and recreate them with very little effort.
I wish there was anything to say about this like “Isn’t it cute how racists are willfully blind to what’s in front of them” but it’s not. I’m beyond finding the humor in shit like this.
Being accused of racism is uncomfortable, especially for white people who haven’t examined how their identity influences interactions and relationships. When being called “racist“, it is natural to feel a range of emotions, from defensiveness to guilt, shame, or even confusion at a given response from another person or group.
If you’re accused of being racist, consider resisting the urge to dismiss or minimize the other person’s feelings and lived experiences of racial trauma in a radicalized society.
I’m brown. My family is from S. Asia. We are living through increased scapegoating everytime we put the TV on. Comparing the head coverings of the buffoons to religious or traditional dress is humourous within our communities. On a related note, we also quietly joke about uncles with big bellies, bad suits and bushy beards as Indian Santa’s. Poor taste in the wrong context, but you can always chuckle in privacy at your uncles.
Blimey, you really are determined. Yes, doesn’t matter, its the irony of how he looks vs what he objects too. Good enough for your belligerence? Is being South Asian origin Muslim sufficient or do you wish to persist?
Man in burqa accidentally joins Nazi march and pretends to be part of their gang.
His face looks a bit like a stereotypical random Syrian teenager as well to me which is funny.

I was actually confused for a bit there because i read sieg heil in the title and then saw someone in a hijab record the video
Think you failed to recognise the sarcasm of my comment to ridicule the buffoon in the video. Wind your neck in and consider that I know

I read the sarcasm, that’s why it comes across racist mate. Think, would you have made the same comment if he were white?

Do you always call people who disagree with you belligerent? Blimey.
I’m now convinced that you represent the department of arguments. Call it a day
