The OP has a posting history here that we all have access to, I don't know why some of us want to pretend this wasn't just another opportunity to denigrate people different from "us".
I have re-read the OP. The case for bigotry remains weak.
From the article:
Quote:But in Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, mosques were crowded as a religious scholar told his congregation via loudspeaker: "We are not too weak to let this one virus empty our mosques."
OLB was referring to people who crowd together in mosques, not to Pakistanis in general, not even to religionists in general.
Boru
Are you being disingenuous? Or you this dense?
Here it is again:
Quote:So most people with sense are maintaining a bit of distance from others to slow the spead of C19.
BUT - not in Pakistan.
Bigotry doesn't mean someone has to explicitly say they're bigots. Or even be aware that they're being a bigot. Or have AF consensus that they are.
So let's be clear about one thing here:
This failure to comply with government demands is a people problem, a problem with human nature. Not a Pakistani or Muslim or religion problem. People of all sorts and stripes have been guilty of this, not just in Pakistan but in countries like the USA and Australia and elsewhere.
