Some of the people who have an issue with Qatari or Saudi ownership definitely just don't like Muslims, a larger percentage don't openly dislike them but have a subconscious bias. That small minority shouldn't be used as an answer to legitimate criticism though.In a day and age where the far right is being increasingly normalised within the mainstream globally, where America has just literally had a white supremacist dog whistle president, Brexit UK - where residents of the country were manipulated using their own racism to commit national suicide, extreme right parties all across Europe gaining leverage and all this on the back of a 20 year ‘War on Terror’ campaign that was essentially just mass media dehumanising of and then bombing of Muslim countries.
And you don’t think racism plays any part in the anti-middle eastern ownership contingent?
Not in every individual person, of course, but within the contingent as a whole, it’s ludicrous given the context of the World we’re currently living in to suggest it plays no part.
I’m sure you can concede that.
That would be like a woman killing someone and when a white man criticisises her for it she assumes the reason is misogyny because there are a lot of misogynistic white men in the world.
