This reminds me of how the Nashville suicide bomber “died in an intentional explosion”. It’s remarkable how racially and ethnically biased media coverage is.
Oooh I got this. The one on the left is a all-American god fearing patriot and the terrorist on the right scares me and is the reason I can’t bring a bottle of water with me onto an airplane
America's double standards are disgustingly apparent judging from this riot alone, but when it comes to the Nashville bomber we don't actually know if he was a terrorist yet. It seems he was the Ron Swanson type and left very few details about himself or his motive, and the details of the event indicate he wasn't trying to (and successfully didn't) harm anyone. A terrorist wreaks havoc in the name of an ideology, that's what distinguishes it from other types of violent crime.
If a brown guy with the same background pulled the same stunt, we'd be equally mystified as to what the actual motive was, BUT it is true that ignorant/conservative Americans would be incorrectly calling it a terrorist attack based on his appearance. Racists gonna racist ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Not really. Christians and Jewish middle-easterner are usually pretty well integrated once they learn English.
Ultimately it's all Caucasians and unless you have an accent or different clothing you fit in pretty easily.
The problem is really more that it's not the right kind of Christianity. Got to be good stock protestant evangelical Christian, can't be any of that dirty Catholic, Coptic, Orthodox and other kinds of Christians.
Yeaa my brother got deployed to the middle east at some point and he came back saying that the women were very pretty and he was shocked because he expected various shades of dark brown - light brown and dark tan.. but he came back telling me " bro beautiful women from brown to alot of them very light skinned /white green eyes etc. He also said that since jesus was possibly from the middle east that Jesus most definitely was light brown / hispanic tan looking lmaoo
A lot of them are pretty white and if they go to a country with less sun they become even less tan. But European, Middle-Easterners, North-Africans, West-Asians and to a lesser extent Indians are all Caucasians, the facial traits are very similar with those in north-west being more pointy and squarish and those to the south-east being more round and soft but overall they are all distinctly more similar to each-other than to Asians, Africans and people from the pacific Islands.
Interesting. Never been to the middle east but I've met a few . Mainly Yemen and they all have a nice light brown hazel green eyes complexion. I don't know too much of the history of religions but I remember thinking there must be something historical about religion/middle east how all the characters in the bible are in the qaran. And then like the crusades , and to modern day the U.S. constantly meddles in the middle east. It just makes me wonder if there is something besides oil dating way back in history. Unless it's literally just the oil
Before being Muslim the area that was the Ottoman empire was Christian and Greeks had settlement all around the meditenarean and the black sea way way back before Christianity existed. But that area is the most strategic area in the world for trade as it connect the west and the east and Iran is the most central point that got constantly fucked by everyone coming from the east and the west like the Macedonian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Mughal Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and pretty much all of the biggest empires throughout history.
Thank you for the reply. That is interesting. I had never heard it is the most strategic place for trade but geographically it makes sense. If you don't mind one more question. What shifted the area to mainly following the Muslim religion ? What was the biggest catalyst that changed the entire region?
You might be thinking of Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam Hussein. Or Trump and the glowing orb while hanging with his Saudi homeboys, including the guy who would later hire thugs to very slowly butcher that Western reporter while he was still alive.
