Parmnion asked if whites get accused of racism more bc there's more of them, Olivier thinks the history or inter-race relations doesn't matter bc it started before he was born. Others questioned why we should discuss right wing terrorism at all. That's what I object to, this attempt at pretending the issue doesn't exist or bc we have anti-discrimination laws so it must be ok. Truly Trumpian view of the world.

Of course right wing terrorism should be discussed, I never took issue with that. What I did mean was any reason to dislike whites for the past can be applied to muslims in the present, and both are stupid. "Imperialism" doesn't excuse screeching on about how whites are inherently evil, just as islamic terror attacks don't mean all muslims are terrorists.
