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.
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.
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.
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.
Scary the amount of people on Lemmy who just didn’t read what little text is there.
Well, this is posted by someone who seems to spend their entire lives jerking off about spreading negative shit about Biden, so makes sense
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.
Not one white country (except a Muslim one).
Bosnia is mostly white.

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
I was only focused on the countries listed in the graphic, but Yugoslavia being left out shows that this graphic is serving a bias.
And Muslim. I mentioned that.
No. They aren’t minorities. There are more of them than there are white people.
You’re showing your Eurocentricism.

So the US hasn’t gone to war with Europe or Russia. Amazing insight
The US never dropped a nuclear bomb on Germany. They saved that for the Japs.
Downvote all you want, you know I’m right.

Sounds like a hell of a lot of projection of your own bigotry.

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