"Well, murder isn't generally perpetrated by one distinct group of people against another distinct group of people, so in that sense it's a universal problem."
Really?
I mean, it's certainly a much larger issue amongst certain socio-economic and ethnic groups in the United States, at least. The Trayvon Martin murder, for example, was very much about race and culture -- about the perception that murdering someone with a certain skin color is kind of okay because those people are inherently threatening.
And there are events like the Holocaust which absolutely were perpetrated by one group against another. (And that "Hitler's bunker"/Downfall video meme, which jokes about the ultimate perpetrator of that horror, went through a period of being beloved on the internet.)
And wasn't the original comic about a man getting raped?
- anigbrowl 13y agoYes really. You are right about the controversy surrounding Trayvon Martin murder being very much a matter of race and culture. But that's one murder among many. You can find individual murders or groups of murders (eg the holocaust) or patterns of murder very easily. But murder in general is not so specific. And for the nth time, it isn't really about the original comic.
