Rape in Germany

[abaris]

Why is it misplaced? What about the relatability of given societies over and above those to which one has no relationship or affinity towards is incorrect, because it's the exact same scenario as in your microcosm but expanded to an international relations context. I didn't mention 'care', I mentioned relatability. People care a lot but relate little. That's the point I think.

Yeah, people relate to their own race and color. There is virtually an avalanche of xenophobic and anti islamic attacks in Germany. It doesn't make international headlines, but every couple of days something happens. Arsons, attacks with guns, simple vandalism.

This not making headlines makes these incidents (they're never called terrorism) fly under the radar, making it easier for non violent people to associate with rightwingers, even if they, themselves, never consider violence.

That's why I'm pointing it out. Not to excuse the iuncident of the OP, which is despicable, but to point out that the one writing the OP simply tries to score bigoted brownie points. Without having the facts, without having access to the German news coverage and most of all, without giving a shit.

So, there's an incident I consider despicable, but I'm forced to point all of this out, since I consider the attitude displayed by the OP as despicable and dangerous, if it's able to rile up enough people to look down on an entire group.

As for the West relating to some people more than others, I take a very big shit on that attitude. Coming from a family that has been persecuted some 80 years ago, just for belonging to a certain group, I find the display the rightwingers and their lackeys give disgusting, worriying and possibly dangerous, since they already proved their ability to be elected on that ticket and that ticket alone.
