Straw man. What if you turned it around to say, "Are there intelligent Black people in America? Sure, they are just not in charge in jail, or they've been murdered already."
Bigoted.
Americans don't Otherize Russians the way they do Arabs or Black people, because Russians are white. Totally different case.
The most despicable of the oil regimes is probably Saudi Arabia, which the United States supports whether you buy gas or not. Maybe you should consider lobbying your congressperson.
- ErrantX 17y ago> Bigoted. Can you explain why you feel the comment is specifically bigoted; and who too? If he is referring to certain extreme societies it is probably a correct comment (and equally applicable to other countries too). He is, perhaps, confusing radicalized leadership with a lack of intelligence. As a whole that entire section of text was verging on bigoted (though I can understand people feeling angry about the treatment of women/homosexuals etc. in the region) but I felt it was more misguided and angry than malicious. If your reading it as "Arab people are stupid" I think your misreading (or deliberately looking for it).
