Man, now they can go full masks of racists and not worry about it. I don't think Macron can keep upGood thing Le Pen made it through, otherwise France might have had a contest about something other than who can be more racist.
tha fuck?Politics are secondary. I'd never vote for him because of his granny of a wife.
I am confused. Since when is Macron racist or even trying to be?Man, now they can go full masks of racists and not worry about it. I don't think Macron can keep up
He's an IslamophobeI am confused. Since when is Macron racist or even trying to be?
Islam is a religion, not a people. So it’s not racism, but I’m not sure what the term for someone who’s bigoted against a religion is.He's an Islamophobe
No he's not. That's just what opportunistic neo progressives who have sold themselves to (ultra) conservative Islam claim.He's an Islamophobe
And yet people get beaten up for looking Muslim. It's perhaps not always, but often, racism.Islam is a religion, not a people. So it’s not racism,
That most certainly is; no one has ever accused skinheads or the degenerate thugs who assault people based on their skin colour of being smart. And all that happened is divides got worse because slanging abuse was easier than talking properly.And yet people get beaten up for looking Muslim. It's perhaps not always, but often, racism.
So, most of the time, Le Penn is not a racistIslam is a religion, not a people. So it’s not racism, but I’m not sure what the term for someone who’s bigoted against a religion is.
And it’s isn’t like France hasn’t got good reason to be very much sick of Radical Islam’s shit.
I hate that phrase. The problem is bigotry, not what people are bigotted about, and it's just people trying to dodge criticism of their bigotry on a semantic technicality.Islam is a religion, not a people. So it’s not racism...
The same way Neo progressives are far more relaxed about Islamic conservatism than Christian conservatism exactly because it isn't practiced by white people?Next, let's face it, Westerners would be significantly more relaxed about Islam if it were only practised by white people. That's not to say religion doesn't have the potential for discontent even amongst people of the same race or that radical Islam hasn't got issues, but we all know perfectly well that "Islam" is as often as not a convenient code to attack outsiders, especially if they are darker-skinned.
Maybe I'm just lucky I grew up with a big melting pot of folks in primary school and high school. Or maybe its the fact that I'm geographically close to the most populous Muslim nation on the planet, but I've generally found the assumption of 'dark skin = muslim' to be wrong-headed and the province of fucking idiots.I hate that phrase. The problem is bigotry, not what people are bigotted about, and it's just people trying to dodge criticism of their bigotry on a semantic technicality.
You'll get no argument from me that they trade in bigotry. And again as soon as I can find out what you call someone who hates a person based only on their religion - apart from arsehole that is - then we can add that to the existing list already provided.Cut through it and just call them what they are: a bunch of racist, sexist, homophobic cunts.
As many Hindus, Sikhs etc are painfully aware of, that people aren't very discerning about which darker-skinned people are Muslims is a feature of most Western Islamophobic rhetoric, not a bug.Maybe I'm just lucky I grew up with a big melting pot of folks in primary school and high school.

"Religious bigot". Or "[religion root]-phobe" if their ire is directed at a specific religion.And again as soon as I can find out what you call someone who hates a person based only on their religion
Oh sorry, forgot to add that I mean Macron. I'm not French so it won't matter anyways.tha fuck?
Considering both of those would likely lead to the downfall of the EU and thus the continent it wouldn't be very great at all.The same way Neo progressives are far more relaxed about Islamic conservatism than Christian conservatism exactly because it isn't practiced by white people?
EDIT: In a way it's sad the duel wasn't between Melenchon and Le Pen, it would have been great to see the clash of Left wing racist populism vs Right wing racist populism.
I mean considering the right's recent foray into the realm of "Taliban, really so bad?" is it surprising. Enough of her followers will believe it because it goes against "the libs". Those that didn't, do now.Marine Le Pen says she opposes sanctions on Russian gas
The French presidential candidate says she is in favour of sanctions on Russia - except for energy.www.bbc.com
Okay Le Pen, I understand you are excited at the chance of being president, but how is this going to help you win? I'm not complaining because I want you to lose but you think you could have read the room before revealing you're just a Russian puppet.
