The innocence of white people

[Canaan]

No Sir, the whites have accepted their sins and are self introspective and critical when it comes to their own communities wrong doings. They are brazen in their self criticism or in condemning their counterparts and their peers. Can the same be said of Muslims?

Haha are you serious?
Let's ask the native americans both north and south, african desendants of slaves, families of nuked japanese etc. What they got from all of the above.

Yeah! And the Arab slave trade, Enslaving turks from tang China, Invasion of persia for no reason other than religious duty, Distruction of Ghanian civilisation, attacking a weaken italy, distroying gondishapour university because it has books from buddist/Agnistic scientist controdicting organise faith. Lets not forget the Alexenderia Journal incident when Arab armies burned a 60,000 volume scolls on the earth and it's 3.14 x ? (pie).

Funny how you can say anything while living in Denmark. yet how would a coptic dude be treated in Egypt if he voices his opinion on religion?

This is true for most cultures they tend to stick to themselves, no surprise there as for the blacks some are racist and some are not.

You know I am not so sure of this. I have Australian Aborigines as friends, and they tend to be racist regarding white people. This is possibly due in part to a reaction to the past racism they have known, but today they are as disinclined to mix with most whites as whites are to mix with them.

As for Pakistan, I have some experience and it has been dissapointing for me. I'm a white man from Australia but I'd say I can be considered free of any racism as anybody, since I am also a Muslim convert, married to a Lahori girl. I travel to Pakistan and have spent some time there with family. Firstly there is racism in reverse, there is an obsequiousness to white people which is cloying to me. Being white, having white skin, is considered so critical that it is pathetic. The darker you are in Pakistan, the less you will be regarded, for jobs, as a spouse, and so on. It is tragic to me that the War Crimes of the USA and their murderous cowardly drones, are not raising as much outrage among Pakistanis as they should, simply because the victims are from "Tribal areas" and I have seen how city people disparage "Villagers" in Pakistani society. What about the ingrained hatred of Indians? I realise there is some history there, but it comes across as racism.

Racism seems to be a regretable part of human nature, and no society seems exempt. I have seen the most egalitarian societies in Northern Europe actually, particularly Scandinavia, but they have also fallen pray to this reactionary Islamophobia of late so nobody is exempt from primitive tribal defense mechanisms I fear.

I thought the video was a great one depicting accurately the reality of the people.
I think it should be given a combination of pulitzer and Oscar.

As a spouse : sometimes.

For jobs : 100% disagree with you.

 

[Bhairava]

Was he influenced in the same way by Egyptians?

Yes..you could say that..he was influenced by the way the Salafi muslims in Egypt (mis)treated his Coptic community.

OK, I did extrapolate the jobs issue, I assumed it would count but don't have experience in that. For spousal considerations though it seems pretty entrenched at least in Lahore. I notice a very common part of a description given of anybody, whether family or prospective family includes a comment on how dark or fair the person is.

Now you make sense.

That's true we Lahoris are not racist but if you have anything unusual in you be prepared for 1 billion type of jokes.

But we do not discriminate on the basis of race, in the end we are friends.

BTW which area of Lahore you visited?

i thought you mentioned somewhere you are from KCHI

You will find that racists are in every country and every corner in the world. Whites being racist against non whites, darker skinned being racist against lighter skinned and vise versa.

Perhaps the troubled journalist should commemorate a day of being a male, since he feels so emotional when it comes to the crimes of white men while disregarding the fact that most atrocities in human history were done by men regardless of color.
He can, perhaps, also write articles apologizing for the existence of men on earth.

Been there a lot of times but not from karachi.

Slaves? Slavery was illegal in the US long before most muslim countries (who invented the african slave trade)...the japs sneak attacked us...and whine we fought back? (ask your chinese masters if the japanese were sitting around minding their own business) (oops...quoted wrong post)
