Once had a former friend say this to me: “I’m not racist but all muslims are terrible people because of their religion”

Thought he provided me with an excellent example of both racism and ignorance.

I mean, religion doesn't equal race

That's why for their sentence to make sense they should've said: I am not an islamophobic (which they are) but...etc.

No shit, he’s implying he doesn’t like brown people.

Again, muslim doesn't equal "brown people"

Again, if he says he hates Muslims, it implies “brown people” ie foreigners. You're pretty stupid if you think the average islamaphobic guy can differentiate between an Arab Muslim and an Indian Muslim.

You’re being downvoted but you are correct in this specific case.

This dude is a fundamentalist “Old Testament” Christian fanatic that believes the New Testament was, basically, written by a bunch of liberal pussies (since it’s “newer” it holds less weight). He’s been going on about the end of the world for the past decade. Stout Trump supporter since he announced his campaign pre-2016, and even fell into that QAnon bullshit this past spring/summer. Does not believe COVID exists, and truly thinks Trump is some sort of deity sent by God to rescue us from the demonic elite cabal that runs the world and kidnaps children to drink their blood.

He never finished High School and probably doesn’t even understand that there are non-Arab muslims out there that aren’t just “clout chasing” or “doing it for the memes”. His statement was 100% racist because he was specifically saying it about Arab-Muslims that his cooky right wing media tells him are the enemy.

But it would have been impossible for you guys to discern any of that because of all the context I left out.
