    I upvoted after reading the first couple sentences because I already know Biden is a racist.

    I know Biden is a racist because there’s no way he’d do to any white people what he’s doing to the Palestinians.

    The Palestinians will never, ever, ever get the kind of sympathy the Ukrainians are getting, because the Palestinians aren’t white.

      That reads like it comes from a healthy mind.

      Turn the TV, phone and computer off for a few days my guy. Pick up that hobby you’ve been putting off, as long as it’s not making pipe bombs.

          1. Bosnia is mostly white.

          2. The only countries most people would consider to be “white” are western European countries that are geopolitically stable. We have treaties with those countries and most (read all) are aligned with NATO.

          Sure, you can argue that the United States is bombing the countries in this graphic to try to kill ethnic minorities, but that’s an argument in bad faith and you know it. Is the US trying to take advantage of arms sales and profiteer from resources in those countries? Yes. Are they also trying to come to the aid of foreign governments battling terror organizations and leaders with dictatorial ambitions? Also yes. Geopolitics and foreign policy don’t fall neatly into good/bad actions. Switzerland is famously neutral when it comes to warring nations, but they also allowed their banks to profit and enable the Nazis during WW2. Inaction can be just as damaging as action if not more so.

            Yugoslavia would be mostly white as well, or whatever countries it split into.

            Also I was shocked when the Swiss ended their neutrality stance on the invasion of Ukraine

            Bosnia is mostly white.

            And Muslim. I mentioned that.

            Sure, you can argue that the United States is bombing the countries in this graphic to try to kill ethnic minorities

            No. They aren’t minorities. There are more of them than there are white people.

            You’re showing your Eurocentricism.

              Excuse my faux pas. In the context of the argument, the ethnicity of the citizens living in those countries would be classified as minority ethnicities in America. Not that they are minorities in their own country. I would hope that anyone who’s first language is English could make that assumption. But you’re right.

      Downvote all you want, you know I’m right.

      He was born in 1942. He probably thinks white people are the world’s civilizing force, and the Palestinians are getting what they deserve for refusing to accept their white colonialist masters.

      He probably thinks third-world countries “aren’t real countries”, but he has to pretend otherwise because of “political correctness”.

      He probably thinks Israel isn’t bombing the Palestinians fast enough, and complains to Bibi that America could do it faster.

      If he thought anything else, he would be unusual for his age.

        You’re creating a fantasy within your mind assuming what a person you never met and will never meet thinks about geopolitical issues. This is about as unhinged as people get.

          He’s an old white American. Assuming that he’s racist should be the default assumption until and unless he demonstrates that he’s not racist.

          And he has not demonstrated that. He has gone out of his way to fund and supply a genocide of brown people, despite the electoral damage it’s doing to his party.

          Occam’s fucking razor.

          It doesn’t matter what I think. He’ll go down in history as a racist monster, and so will all of his defenders.

            “I don’t think you should call people racist just because they’re committing genocide. You don’t know them personally.”

            White people care more about a white person being called racist than they do about genocide.

              And now, everyone, I will prove that white people are racist with my own blatantly racist argument.

          Yeah yeah. “People who call out racism are the real racists.” That’s the standard response of white people.

          Everytime someone calls a white person racist, they get accused of being racist against white people. It doesn’t matter how clearly racist the white person is. (And that’s why non-white people are afraid to call out racism.)

          I’ve known so many racist old guys just like Biden. If you don’t, you’re either young or you’re not American.

          Also, I like how you assumed I’m not white.
