“...racist, exploiting television programming”
Idiots. They’re NOT a race. Neither are Mexicans or South Americans. Total BS! Ergo; it can’t be “racist”. Might be too true for them, but it ain’t “racist”, morons.
They are not Arabs. They are not Turkish. They have been living in basically the same location speaking basically the same language longer than almost any other population group.
However I agree with you that any sort of criticism of culture or religion cannot be said to be racists.
For example - “Black culture doesn't emphasize scholastic achievement and that has a negative impact on black student achievement” is not a racist statement - while “Blacks are incapable of competing equally with white students academically” IS absolutely racist.
