Some of the people who shout the loudest of not judging every Muslim by the actions of a minority then go on to judge white people on the actions of their distant ancestors.
Race will always be an issue if we’re constantly bringing it up.
Defining people of a certain ethnicity by the actions of other people of that ethnicity is racism.
We’re all human.Let’s stop trying to put everyone in categories.

You misunderstood.
I don't blame Olivier (or myself) for past acts of discrimination of non-white people.
But I do take issue with people on the right claiming ignorance of where right wing extremism comes from and why it's a problem.
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.
