That's disgusting. As a minority, I'd feel offended if other people's coloring faces in my skin color or dressing the way my folks are dressed were considered offensive, cause it literally means my skin color and what I wear are so inferior others shouldn't be making fun of it. It's like asking others not to make fun of retards. It's like teaching a kid not to laugh at a crippled old man. Heck even disabled people have more dignity they hate when others are pitying them.

But I'm one of "them" and because I believe people are not superior/inferior to each other on the basis of race, because I genuinely believe in that, as long as my way to success and achievement is not blocked by law/government/officials, I respect myself so much I don't give a shit about people who may make fun of me because i'm muslim/middle-easterner/woman etc. Those who are offended by each and everything and want to silence everyone who is/does not like them are either opportunists (case in point many women and muslims) or are suffering from serious esteem problems.

When it comes to middle easterners, especially those brought up here, it's a cultural thing that victim mentality. We were brought up with theories of how almost every bad thing that happened to us is a zionist conspiracy ffs. It all started with the fvcking sykes - picot agreement, Balfour declaration and all that shit, but still the effect of those events have a huge bearing on our culture today imo.

I've seen what you mean. Celebrating victimhood as a badge of honor does nobody any good.

But the difference I see is that Middle Easterners see that victimization as a shared social experience, rather than the highly personalized version we have in the U.S. How the individual feels offended is far more important than that of any shared group experience.

That never made the news since the victim was white male and the officer was a woman, simple as that.

Kinda true, actually. If it was a white male cop and a black woman, and the only altercation was the cop asked her to put her hands on the hood for a frisk, people would have freaked out all over the place.
