I particularly love the part where he laments seeing a church “closed,” “decrepit,” and “vandalized” while the mosques were full of activity. Yeah, no shit, dummy. They’ve got a lot of Christian churches but fewer Christians every year as people get sensible. The Wikiality says that 25% of UKians report having “no…

Seriously. His article is basically an islamophobic dog-whistle dictionary!

Polling shows that over-estimation of Muslim (and also foreign-born) populations is routine. It’s a bit absurd. There’s always this idea that there are scary violent Muslims out there. It’s not backed up by anything but racist conspiracy theory media, but fear-based hate-narratives sell. 

Because motivation matters?

One of my grandpas was in the KKK because they were anti-Catholic, so this feels familiar.  And terribly terribly wrong.

Dinesh D’Felon: The Next Generation

I mean...there are Asian American women who are fine with dating white supremacists. Proximity to whiteness, model minority status, raising status by distancing from other, less favored minorities, etc. 

It’s also interesting how the certainly not racists have maneuvered us into needing to qualify that these people murdered by the police were unarmed, as if being armed in america is a reasonable instant death sentence.

While it’s bad that the cops kill more unarmed black people than white people, it should be equally as…

I was thinking about taking him to the Mall of America on Eid Mubarak. He’d utterly lose his tiny little xenophobic mind.

Can’t wait for the Wall Street Journal’s op-ed about the “scary” Hasidic Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn.

It’s amazing how a steady diet of Fox News and right wing fearmongering has led to this irrational fear of UK being Muslim. What’s the Muslim population size in UK? 3% according to government estimates. Unofficially it could be as high as a Whopping 6%. Meanwhile a hardcore Republican relative told me she was afraid…

Andy Ngo must have the memory of a goldfish and intelligence of a refrigerator, and not a smart fridge, like a 70s fridge that hasn’t been defrosted since it was bought at a yard sale 20 years ago.

I think he may want to spend a week in Dearborne Michigan.

Have Ngo come to Brooklyn & get a load of the kosher/halal butchers.  His mind will be blown.

I was and am still afraid of acid washed mom jeans, just sayin’

It’s disturbing in its own right when it comes from dumbass white people, but I simply cannot wrap my head around the xenophobia and nationalist pearl-clutching of someone that has lived in the US as a minority.

“Oh no! HALAL. How dare those dirty foreigns sell their . . . mmm that smells good. Is that . . . may I have a bite? ::Mmppphh:: Oh. Oh wow. That’s really good. Is that a yogurt sauce? Mmm! This is GREAT! What was I talking about again? Nevermind, probably wasn’t important.”

Sorry folks but he’s absolutely right. I was in London last week on business and this is a shot of Trafalgar Square that I took from the plane:

Conservatism is fear.
