We have multiple incidents every year where Christian churches get bombed in brown countries by Muslim extremists that don't even hit the bar for C-lst coverage from CNN and The Atlantic but they'll do thinkpieces on the "global dominance of white nationalist terrorism". There's certainly a big overall terrorism death toll out there...but white supremacy has a lot of catching up to do on the numbers side. They also lump in all those shooters like the Parkland kid into it even though he was a self-hating Jew. Like "wuttttttt", lol.

Makes me glad I didn't pursue a career in journalism right out of college. This **** would make me question what the point of the job is other than driving clicks. Yeesh.

It isn't "whataboutism". Just this year alone there have been around 453 Islamic terror attacks (globally) with nearly 2k dead as a cumulative result. Of those, 117 happened in just the last 30 days. Those numbers are alarming in 2019, yet somehow The Anti-Defamation League and others think its insignificant. They want to focus on a nonexistent "domestic threat" to distract from real problems we have, just as Trump likes to focus on nonexistent Mexican rapists. :laughing:

Odds are your more likely to step on a landmine going to the grocery store set by an Islamic extremist than getting gunned down by a puffy faced white dude who doesn't leave grandma's basement.

I'm not really worried about whites flying planes into some Middle Eastern buildings. I am however worried about the trend of nativism in the West that has influence on governments with actual power.

Conflating Islamic terrorism with white supremacist terrorism is like conflating Iranian power with American power. Both should be watched but one clearly has a greater array of influence.

Fact is, the world is quickly becoming a more diverse place right under everyone's nose. Just look at Japan, South Korea as well as the U.S. The playing field is leveling whether people like it or not. But at the point where this becomes truly apparent, people will be out of excuses of why Person A got that job over them cause everyone will be the same shade of beige/bronze/brown. :)

It's not always without value, but if your response to concerns over white supremacist shooters is "what about Islamic terrorism?" then it's inherently whataboutism.

And yes, promoting white supremacy as a more preferable form of racial supremacy to that of minorities is inherently white supremacist too.

if you happen to live in a Islamic country then yes, it might be more a threat, however one has to wonder how you factor in the US endless bombing of poor brown people...state sponsored terrorism?

who would think to try and defend it?

I mean, is this a "boys will be boys" argument for not criticizing say, the Chinese, "reeducation" of Muslims

Can you draw a similar parallel to current U.S. domestic policy? What they're doing would be wrong in any country. Lucem "I have the reading abilities of a 1st grader" Ferre might want to take a shot at it.
