Response to “It’s the way their culture works!”

islamissexist:

Nonwhite cultures can be racist
Nonwhite cultures can be misogynistic
Nonwhite cultures can be homophobic
Nonwhite cultures can be pedophilic
Nonwhite cultures can be violent
Nonwhite cultures can be dangerous

Painting nonwhite cultures as perfect HURTS the ones living in them. Blindly accepting their every action, letting horrible things slide because “that’s their culture” doesn’t make you woke. It makes your hands dirty with the blood of millions who suffer under the name of these oppressive standarts.

Respecting other cultures doesn’t mean you have to eat up everything they have to offer. Critically filter them, and don’t accept traditions that are harmful to a group of people. Stop presenting the poor pee oh cees as perfect.

And most importantly, stop silencing us victims. When we ask you to spread awareness of these issues, stop covering our stories by screaming how it is just the “cultural difference” to get woke points. Listen to the victims, and don’t accept the unacceptable just because the guilt is on the nonwhites. Stop throwing us under the bus in the name of looking good.

Listen. The. Victims.
