Racism

The Tablighi Jamaat Islamic missionary group is being scapegoated for the pandemic.

Islamophobia is not a major talking point in the Indian fight against coronavirus.

The Prince has been known for his racially insensitive comments, including "Still throwing spears?" to Australian Aboriginals.

George Floyd has become a powerful symbol for the racial injustice faced by non-whites in the US and beyond. Protestors are now railing against decades of deprivation faced by minority communities and propped up by the machinery of the state. In the US, blacks are significantly more likely to be imprisoned, murdered by police and arrested for minor crimes.

"If we allow immigrants to live among us, we’ll lose our identity"

America is not a racist country. In every state blacks and whites live side by side in harmony. The current rhetoric is breeding a racism and hatred that doesn't exist. It is institutionalising the perception of a country wrought with division. And weaponising this false idea to sow discord. The version of society the rioters are creating, does not reflect the reality. This imaginary state has become a political tool in a fight against the rule of law. Proponents of this view include Daily Signal columnist Star Parker.

The murder has exposed America’s burgeoning race war. Groups such as American white-supremacist social network The Base, have ramped up recruitment efforts since the riots. These groups are unified by their rallying cry for a white-on-black race war and the collapse of society. The deepening civil unrest is an opportunity for a racially charged civil war. Proponents include historian Stuart Wexler.

The Modi government has introduced a number of Islamophobic policies, which have normalised behaviours we are now witnessing.
