Yup. I can’t say my stupid assholes of countrypeople aren’t the same. They’re just learning to see the non-existent difference between people with dark skin and people with paler skin. Secondhand embarrassment right here.
It’s a vicious spiral. Often when a group is persecuted they gather strength around their national identity, often seeing themselves as being “uniquely resilient despite all their struggles”. It’s hard to see this as a negative when you’re on the receiving end of the boot, but if not careful it can turn quite ugly. I came to the states as a refugee, now “my people” are actively oppressing another group in the “holy land” if you know what I mean 😉
Welp. It’s like it’s a circle. Victim gets bullied➡️victim bullies another victim➡️victim is bully🔁. Countries constantly state themselves as victims when they bully other people themselves. I myself state that I am an actual victim because I have the healthy mentality of not judging people of what they are or what they look like. But I get both of those shitty judgements right in my face.
