    Here more of what he say

    Kabul was always a lot more progressive because it’s a big city. The rest of the country is a bunch of goatfuckers in the mountains.

    In the 1970s, when the communist revolution took place, the people of Afghanistan became increasingly restless due to all the reforms. They literally did not want progress. Then in the 2000s, the Americans tried to pick up where the soviets had left off… And as soon as they were gone, the Taliban was back. There was little resistance.

    He even justified occupation citing that the occupiers was there to free the people from uncivilization like how the west justified occupation by calling other savages

    Here the post where the comments come from

      To be racist, it needs to be about race.

      I can say everyone in Texas fucks cattle (they do), but that’s just bigotry based on where they live, not racism.

      Are you saying that people from Afghanistan are a different race than their neighbors?

      Or are you thinking maybe of culture, not race? Race isn’t a think you can’t change or choose. Culture is.

        Racism also target ethenic groups. A culture is associated with ethrnic groups. That’s why it also apply in this context.

        Will you also tell me that the genocide against indigenous people of america didn’t happen part of it because of racism?
