[Burma/Myanmar] Rohingya genocide/ethnic cleansing scandal

[The East Marches II]

We need to liberate the shit out of Myanmar.

There's a reason the US hasn't been back to Indochina in a while u kno

St. Kissinger will surely pick a winner for us to back

[Sernarbia]

So you are ok with innocent people being murdered as long as they are Muslim? You really are a piece of shit.

*** Warned for flaming. ***

Good to know you're on the side of racism.

[Sernarbia]

So you are ok with innocent people being murdered as long as they are Muslim? You really are a piece of shit.

As long as they're not European, to be more specific.

Uncivilized peoples slaughtering each other over the silliest of pretexts shouldn't really come as a shock or surprise, such behaviour unfortunately being typical of them. If their religion also happens to be the anti-thesis of modern civilization, that just makes it easier to feel indifferent about their impending destruction at the hands of other uncivilized folk.

Sounds like something a Nazi would say.

And thank you, I will take that as a compliment.

Yeah, I figured you would.

[Vassenor]

I don't know why we're making the mistake of thinking people will be shocked or appalled by this.

We've spent the best part of twenty years being told how all Muslims everywhere are subhuman latent terrorists who should be feared and ostracized lest they rape all our women and take away our beer and bacon.

So honestly we're more likely to see people gloat about how they deserve this. Which sickens me.

To be honest though, I don't think the general reaction - or rather, lack thereof - would be any different if the minority in question had any other religion. From the Western POV It's happening in Somewheristan, Asia, in a country most Westerners would struggle to find on a map.

If it was any other religion I'd expect the reaction to tend towards apathy outside the hard-core white-sup crowd.

[Athara Magarat]

Forget the US, it's appalling that even in my nation right in the neighborhood almost no one has paid any attention to this genocide.

[Pasong Tirad]

We're pretty close to Myanmar too, and I gotta say we've got our own genocidal state leader to deal with.

Doesn't mean we haven't noticed the plight of the Rohingya, though. Many Muslim Filipinos have already been protesting outside the Burmese embassy.

[Risottia]

Italians! It's well-known that Italians are crypto-niggers, at least those originating from south of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines!

Just because we didn't want your countrymen in our country doesn't mean we're bad people.

No, it merely means that a sufficient part of Americans were bad people back then. It also means that discrimination and hate crimes happen also among subgroups of the same "race" (whatever that means).

I'm sure you wouldn't want Italy to fill up with Yankees.

You happen to assume a lot.
If they apply successfully for an immigration visa, a tourist visa, for refugee status, or for citizenship, I have absolutely no trouble. Except about their accent, but that can be amended.

[Eol Sha]

For a lot of people, a few dozen miles away may as well be a different solar system.

Uncivilized peoples slaughtering each other over the silliest of pretexts shouldn't really come as a shock or surprise, ...

Considering the history of Europe of the last three thousand years I wouldn't be shocked or surprised if Europeans started slaughtering each other over the silliest of pretexts, football rivalries included.
Disgusted. Furious. Worried. Tired of the same old shit. Definitely not shocked or surprised. It's not like a long-lasting civilization makes humans intrinsically more peaceful - if it did, we wouldn't be having a war in the Near and Middle East right now, would we.

What if they're American?

[Trumptonium]

Economic pressure should be put on Myanmar while humanitarian aid should be given to the displaced.

Economic pressure is already put on Myanmar - nevertheless - it's not the government that is allegedly doing the genocide, so why would you punish the people as a whole? Would you like to have seen innocent white people starve in the Confederate States because Britain decided to ban all exports to CSA and imports from due to slavery or later USA with KKK?

I care because I'm Christian.

The state isn't Christian, unless you're from Vatican or Argentina, so it should not dictate public policy.

You're free to boycott all Burmese goods, if you wish. That means you'd have to stop buying .. uh .. . .. I give up.

[The Federation of Kendor]

I think this one of the worse things to ever happen in this century. She should have stick to her ideology and do bold things, purge the extremists, and grant equal rights to the Muslim. Also, as an Indonesian, I have heard news about Rohingya refugees escaping to nations such as Indonesia

Well, it would be hard, I guess. Many people there, particularly in Rakhine state think that the Rohingyas are illegal Bengali immigrants. Coupled that with some connection it has somehow with the 'hated' British colonialization.....

Same there. I've also heard that there are some Rohingya refugee camps somewhere in Aceh, but it's already an old news from 2015.

There are a few ethnic groups around the world that are utterly repulsive and reprehensible. They may look like poor mistreated ethnic minorities, but they are inhumanly vicious and have deep historic roots consistent with their vile character. One such are the Tuaregs. Another are these bandit people of Burma. Poor Bangladesh, they do not want this infestation any more than the Burmese do, despite the supposed religious ties.

People are allowed to hold wacky racist views on NS as long as they express them civilly.

Debate the racist, don't denigrate. Building walls doesn't change hearts and minds.

Top quality racism.

here's a pro tip to know if someone's a racist: are they suggesting certain groups are inhuman and must be cleansed? if so, they test positive!

To be honest though, I don't think the general reaction - or rather, lack thereof - would be any different if the minority in question had any other religion. From the Western POV It's happening in Somewheristan, Asia, in a country most Westerners would struggle to find on a map.

It does. Most people don't care. Some awful people will gloat about "muh m0zlems gettin whats comin to 'em" or whatever, but for the most part people are just like "hmm that's awful sucks to suck I guess."

Why don't you add gypsies and Jews to that list too?

>Gypsies aren't as he described

Oh boy, here we go. Tell us more about what a good group they are and how everybody loves them. Some cultures possess some pretty awful norms who then cry foul to the human rights brigades when people get tired of their shit.

Biff out the latter and replace it with Pashtuns and you've got a pretty accurate list.

Honestly, while there might be some exceptions to the rule, Gypsies and Pashtuns are complete shit. There's a reason why the former has been universally despised everywhere it has gone, and the latter has incorporated pedophilia so strongly into their culture that it would even make the Ancient Greeks turn their heads in disgust.

Some cultures are just god-awful and beyond redemption.

I've always been amused by how people have such a need to hate Jews/Hebrews when objectively their culture promotes rather universal virtues and has good tenets. Sure, Hebrew Diaspora culture can be a bit arrogant, but so can any culture.
