Yes in my first remark i pointed to people being racist rather than just mentioning their actions. My apologies.

I mentioned SA just to mention another country.

No extra context

Also it's a bit rude to insult me with baseless reasons such as that. You don't have to point me in a worser light to get your point across

One: this is about UAE, not Saudi.

Two: it uses something a whole ethnicity wears in a meme of negative context, hence hurting the entire ethnicity of people

Three: your tone makes it clear you don't give a fuck about this topic anyways

Four: I don't care about the royals either. Just like when people point out racism of black people in a post about the South African government, it's not because they're in bed with the SA government. This should've been obvious

After checking the news it only mentions that the protests were due to children being stabbed?

I'm not calling people racist. As i explained previously I'm calling using a racial stereotype to not be okay.

A lot of people aren't racist on purpose, but the way they interact or joke about a certain group of people sometimes falls in poor taste.

Instead of people getting defensive, they should just try to understand that these people get racially abused everyday by people not even trying to because it's just so ingrained into their heads that what they say or what they do is normal.

Hell just yesterday I saw a post about middle easterns and one of the replies was something something AK47. There wasn't a single reply against it. People don't give a fuck about these minorities because no one chastises them about racist against them. Actually they just get more stubborn and act racist harder.

It hurts for a lot of people to read the words that i said because for many people, they cannot accept within themselves that some of the things they think or say about other minorities might be hurtful, and might make the people of these minorities feel uncared for or hated against.

I'm only trying to call out people's actions, i never meant to label anyone a racist here; sorry if people felt that way. We all do things that aren't the most savory to other people -- and i think that it's our responsibility to fix that or change that, just like how using the word or stuff like fell out of favour after people used it for a long time. The backlash was huge, but now people warm up to the changes, it just takes time.

It may all seem like a waste of time, but i think it was worth mentioning it in the comment section of this post. People are still clearly unaccepting of this opinion, and that's fine.

Thanks but i don't care. I'm just making my point.

That's a terrible idea. Every single thing other than a block of text requires js.
