What Worffan101 is trying to say here:
Except that those "cultural points" were STATISTICS about how many Mexican kids graduate high school, which isn't actually a cultural point but an insinuation that Mexicans are uneducated and/or lazy.
is that you are not allowed to notice anything unflattering about people from another culture, unless you can find some way to blame it on white people.

You can argue about why certain things are true, but to criticize someone for noticing them undercuts your argument. "Racist" "sexist" etc. The only thing that matters is "is it true?"
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
“I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right.”
I admit I don't have the exact context fo that quote, but it seems like a response to people who, for example, counter claims of anti Muslim policy being racist by saying Muslims aren't a race. It's technically true, but also q limp wrister defense of religious persecution.
Coming from the group that endlessly shits on Christians for the exact same things, that's rich. Let's face it. Progressives only defend Islam because its followers brown non-europeans (mostly)
Buddy, most Democrats are Christians. I'm Christian, I admit I haven't been to church in a while mostly because I'm so full of anger I can't take communion in good faith nor can I pray for Donald Trump without spouting lies in the house of God.

Plenty of brown Christians, too. Wouldn't surprise me if there were actually more brown Christians than white ones, yet it's still seen as a white religion. And Antiboyscout is still entirely correct about the double standard when it comes to religion and how the regressive left treats them. For all the widespread condemnation of Christianity over stuff like refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding, the same people doing that will leap to the defense of Islam if someone should point out that ISIS was literally tossing gay people off of buildings. Same could be said for the treatment of women by the two different religions. Hell, you literally have what are supposed to be secular nations making anti-blaspheme laws solely for the protection of Islam because of this double standard. :lol:

More like we don't wanna demonize one billion people. If they wanted us dead, we would be. That, and lots of regressive right-wingers tend to treat most Muslims as if they're ISIS or al Qaeda when really most of them are just normal people. The same way you cannot treat all white Christians as if they're the same as Dylann Roof. Of course, my problems with religion are well-known here, in that I consider it too dogmatic and obstructive to progress and that it's a flawed system about tyranny to king-like figures rather than common human goals like justice, stability, cooperation, harmony, and so on.

So I tend to treat Islam and Christianity as the same. Same as Judaism. They're all primitive and archaic relics from a past we need to shed before we move into the future. So, if you're going to consider Islam a religion of hate (which is what some right-wingers think, yet strange how one billion people aren't all hateful freaks, huh?), then you must do the same for ALL religions. I know it's about love and peace and forgiveness, but that's hate in an entirely new way - in absolving crimes that someone should not be forgiven for, or that they were never punished for. After all, should someone like Hitler or Stallin or the millions of criminals under their command be absolved so easily? I thought not.

I love how alt-right trolls like Admiral X equate a religion of a billion-plus people as if it's a literal death cult.

See, ISIS is as Muslim as the People's Temple was Christian. It's a literal death cult following an apocalyptic-millennialist theophilosophy that is at odds with the philosophies of all three major Abrahamic religions. Judging all Muslims by ISIS is like judging all Christians by the Westboro Baptist Church, and not even the most deranged Tumblr screed does THAT.

Of course, X is a bigoted troll, so it's not like he's going to do any research, learn anything about Islam, or be convinced by basic facts, because he's a bigot and is only interested in normalizing his perverse and irrational hatred of somewhere between a fifth and a sixth of the world's population.

:roll: Everyone you don't like is alt-right.

Fun thing about your own comparison is that for all the shit they say, WBC has never killed anyone or even tried to as far as I know.

And unlike you, I'm not a bigot, Worffan. Unlike you, I don't hate people. You are by far the most bigoted and toxic person on this board. No joke, no sarcasm, just straight-up truth.

You're a bigoted freak who doesn't bother to do any research on any damn thing he talks about. You talk out of your ass, you think that ISIS, which has LITERALLY expressed their explicit goal of destroying the Kaaba, THE SINGLE MOST SACRED SITE IN ALL OF ISLAM, is representative of all Muslims, and you spread and defend alt-right conspiracy theories and weasel words. You attack the second most vulnerable community in the western world (after trans people) literally days after 50 of them were slaughtered by a fascist terrorist who believed the very nonsense you espouse, and you have the GALL to accuse me of being a bigot? Screw you.

I'm not pre-judging you, sir. I'm judging you entirely upon your loathsome and reprehensible actions and disgusting rhetoric.

I hope that you spend your life alone and bored out of your mind in your mom's basement, as sad little Internet weevils like you deserve.

Note that the troll, Admiral X, doesn't even dispute that he knows nothing about Muslims, ISIS, or anybody who isn't an 8chan troll like him. He has no response but what his buddies on Gab probably think is a witty one-liner, because he doesn't actually know anything other than the racist bile he learned on 4chan and Breitbart.

I know plenty about Islam and ISIS, as well as hateful bigots of all stripes. That's why I recognize it in you.
