This is stupid. Brown people are like white people: most of them are good, some of them aren’t. They are diverse, believe many different things for many different reasons, and are quite capable of fighting among themselves without the involvement of white people at all.
I keep getting told that if I don’t support allowing all Muslims in period, then I am condemning an entire religion. Leaving aside the fact that I understand the details of these things much better than most of those making the accusations, the possibility seems to be invisible to them that some Muslims might genuinely be evil, and that this evil is not our fault.
It is astonishing how patronizing such leftists are, when they accuse America of all manner of crimes, while ignoring the crimes of anyone who is not white. This is a color blindness; this is a fundamentalist racism. When you consider any group of people as homogeneous because you don’t understand them, there is no good word BUT racism.
When Muhammad Ali–who was clearly such a racist that his segregationism was openly welcomed by the KKK, who invited him to speak at a rally–said he didn’t want to travel to some foreign land to kill the brown man, he assumed that it was us who were killing, and them who were dying. In point of fact, one set of brown people was fighting another, in an existential battle which, when lost, caused an enormous amount of suffering and death for the people we had been trying to help, and whose invitation to help we had accepted at great cost of death and suffering for our own people as well.
Leftists don’t get this. They lack nuance. They lack depth. They lack the capacity for distinction, for non-racist sentiment, for adult, mature understanding.
