1. It's good to remember but there have been many dead in our present time, especially
in Myanmar where the brown-skinned Buddho-fascists have driven 850,000 Rohingya Muslims
into Bangladesh* plus additional Rohingya Hindus. The worst aspects of fascism survive today, in many places and in many ways. It appears that learning is optional. * https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffhp&q=number+of+rohingya+muslim+refugees+in+bangladesh&ia=web ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

2. Really
You had to add brown skinned Buddhists to your derogatory description of fascists?

3. That's to remind you that white supremacists/Christo-fascists don't have a lock on violence.

4. You could have just said
Buddho-fascist. No reason to add the “brown skin” descriptor unless you have some agenda I’m not aware of.

5. Thanks for your input. The only agenda I have is to increase awareness that fascism is
not the provenance of any single ethnic or religious group.

6. No matter how you couch it
It's still a bigoted comment

7. You're certainly free to make your own judgments. My limitation is that I don't know a
better/more productive way to express myself. All I ask is that you remember this exchange the next time you
read, hear, write or speak the words "white supremacist". I try not to use the language of ethnic bigotry but sometimes it does describe how I feel about murderous destructive groups so I am capable of being a bigot. Thanks for giving me more to think about. |
