Are these people racist? Why or why not?
Can I borrow some of this bait you are throwing out to go fishing tomorrow?
Are these people racist? Why or why not?
Why is it bait? I can make a fairly reasonable argument as to why those people politically aren't racist. The video itself is based on satire, but that doesn't necessarily make it bait.
1) Religion isn't a race
2) People can object to having another culture's building placed in their community because culturally it doesn't belong, and it doesn't need to trigger issues of race.
I'm interested in seeing if anyone supports arguments such as that.
The editing is so jarring at some points and the whole thing is just too cringe inducing.
I understand that it's satire, but the issues that many of the people had in that video, where valid issues none the less.
What issues do you mean?
Not wanting their town to change in that way and not wanting that violence in their town either.
Change how? And what kind of violence are you talking about?
The same kind of change and violence that happens in the UK. You have groups that come in and instead of becoming a part of the community, or assimilating. They cloister up and create groups of people that cling relentlessly to their origins. Which isn't a completely bad idea, though in many cases for Muslims, it is that same clinging nature to their origins that worsens the issue.
Are you saying Muslims by their nature are violent?
