i never argued that it shouldn't have been reported. but like allat said, it should've been done carefully. non-white on white hate crime does not exist on the same level as white on non-white hate crime.
You know, I'm really not sure about that these days. I think it would be hard to prove one way or the other.
white people can commit as many hate crimes as they want and it will never ever be taken to represent every white person.
TBH I'm not sure that
never is supportable here. If you mean never among white people then it probably is supportable, but that isn't never as such.
when a muslim commits a crime, every muslim/brown person is held responsible. even ex-muslims are held responsible. hell, even sikhs are held responsible.
Again, only supportable in a limited context. Exactly who do you think is holding every Muslim/brown person responsible for this? I certainly am not. I'd hazard a guess that a lot of other people aren't either.
it would be irresponsible and immoral for the media to act as if there was no difference and there would be no racist consequences.
The case itself is
already a racist consequence.
