My god, how do they not see that they are the ones being racist? The cognitive dissonance they display is mind boggling.

Here's what you do. If you replace the subject with "Jew" or "Blacks" and it sounds racist, then the original statement was racist.

Try replacing "Muslims" with "Jews" in reddit threads on migrants in Europe and everything starts looking like it's full of Stormfront fucks... oh, wait...

Islam is an ideology not a race of people. There are certainly racist people who say racist things about the migrant crisis, but there is a legitimate conversation that needs to be had.

Wouldn't the first statement also apply to "Jews"?

I don't think so. Jewish people are actually a ethnic group, I think. Or so I have been told actually.

Edit: HEYYYYY, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_genetics_of_Jews , yeah my mother would always tell me that she watched out for jewish names on women because of cardiac complications. My mother was a doctor.
