      Couldn’t agree more.

      Maybe the thin, thin, “oh so thin” silver lining on this big black cloud which is the Israeli Genocide in Gaza and the behaviour of Western power elites with regards to it, is that more people with humanist principles who, because of being part of the majority etnicity in their country (thus unlikelly to have been the target of racism hence not quite as keenly alert to its many faces) let themselves be swindled by certain self-proclaimed anti-racist western elites, will become keenly aware of all the racial bating and profound racism still around us at the highest levels that’s portrayed as natural and even as “positive”.

      Take away the bullshit that’s been spinned around the subject in the West to make it “politically correct” and you get to the core, which is that judging or treating people differently because of their etnicity is racial descrimination, and doing it on the “positive” side is as much racial descrimination as on the “negative” side.

      The NAZIs themselves didn’t only do negative discrimination, they also did “positive” discrimination towards various favoured races, especially the Arian Race, so maybe people should be having a good hard look at the people with discourses excusing and supporting even the most evil of deeds of the governments of nations who are self-proclaimed representatives of “favoured” etnicities.

      The entire mental architecture of racism is alive and well in the modern West, and in it’s modern clothes it remains wrong, no matter how much some closet racists try and paint their kind of discrimination of judgement and treatment on racial grounds as “positive”.
