I will just throw my 2 cents worth of opinion here and gonna say that i think the reason someone might be mad here is that middle easterns do actually face disproportionate racism and I don’t think i need to elaborate on that

The problem is that shitheads see it and go like ‘yA tHese PpL ARe tErrOriSt aND blah blah’, which you can clearly see on other sites

Not to say that other minorities and ethnic groups don’t face the same issue

It’s really more of a problem with ppl than any meme

Yeah, that's a very good point. It does prime people to be particularly sensitive, even if there's not really any racism in the situation.
