    Yea Idk what I was thinking typing Saudi, I knew what it was I just brainfarted 🐇 I very much do care about racism, which is why I don't care about a meme making fun of slave owners. Just bc the clothing isn't 100% specific to royals doesn't mean it's racist to have it in the meme jfc, if a meme about Putin or Russian oligarchs had a babushka hat on it you wouldn't be wasting energy defending them would you? "I'm not defending them I just don't like racism" you sure as fuck aren't defending minorities, if anything you're just equating them with the assholes the meme is making fun of. Nobody is hurt by this, arab people as a whole aren't being mocked here, just drop it and do something useful or fun

    Also are you seriously one of those people that thinks South Africa is committing white genocide? Get a fucking grip reclaiming your land from colonizers isn't fucking racist xD

      I mentioned SA just to mention another country.

      No extra context

      Also it's a bit rude to insult me with baseless reasons such as that. You don't have to point me in a worser light to get your point across

        Sorry about that, I assumed you were referring to the negative feelings and actions towards white farmers there as genocide, something I've seen white supremacists and useful idiots do. I wasn't trying to make you look worse, I just thought you were talking about that specifically
