    because racists have turned it into racial oppression? i just said culture is a fickle thing and this is how racial slurs and racial oppression develops, just look at blackface.

      blackface is mockery of a specific race’s features. drawing muhammad is mockery of a specific religion’s rules. how is there any similarity?

        i don’t know how many times i have to keep saying this - racial oppression develops culturally, meaning there could be no logic to it but it becomes racist anyway due to the usage by racists for that purpose. for example, a lot of slurs have literally no etymological meaning, such as the “G” word used against Asians. you are trying to make racism seem logical, when it isn’t and never has been.
