You don't agree with the fact that the guy was shot for being "middle eastern" because most drunk white people don't see the difference between Indian, Muslim, middle eastern or anything that's the "other"?
Anyway, the point is, this ill will against Indians for stealing jobs and other brown people for other issues has always existed. And to some extent, I get it. But Trump's rhetoric has made it ok to convert that ill will into actual aggression and physical/emotional harm. That's the problem.
People always want a scapegoat. Black lives matter started in 2013, foreigners stole the US land from native Americans in the 1700s...this is not something new or in actuality is worse than it was before. What we are doing as a society is sensationalizing incidents as it's part of the agenda to make it look like this is something new and not something that has been happening for years.

I don't agree with that...maybe if it was a Mexican, but trump has not said anything negative towards the Indian people......India is one of the places he has called out in a positive light
You can't blame Trump for the stupidity and ignorance of others, only his own and his administrations
I will not say main stream media is racially biased. But this shooting is not a random shooting.Due to President'z speeches and actions more and more people will openly express disapproval of foreigners ( especially who don't look like caucasians) . Indians will be easy target.

Poop I didn't post fast enough
Lol now who is profiling....of course a drunk white person can tell the difference.....middle eastern don't eat curry......I think you can connect that dots from there
Yeah but the whole "stealing American jobs 👺👻💀" rhetoric very much singles out Indians and a couple other Asians. Also, you folks really think the sort of person who supports Trump and would attack a foreigner because of it knows the difference between an Indian guy and any other brown guy?
Are ppl seriously trying to say this is Trumps fault? Holy shit.
"Middle easterns don't eat curry"? I am dumbfounded
By the sheer in-your-face racism of that comment
The Kansas terrorist actually thought his victims were Arabs
Guys, where I grew up, people could actually not tell the difference because there was so little exposure.
Meaning, there were fewer than 20 students of Middle Eastern or South Asian descent combined in my high school of 2500 (Appalachia).
What are you saying C1, the guy made an honest mistake?
Also - is Indians 'stealing jobs' a thing? I've never heard that before TBH? Immigrant and China/Mexico stealing jobs, sure I recognize that story, but Indians?
C2: Yeah it's got to be a thing. I'm Indian, and I've had that said to me as a "joke" on several occasions over the years.
Let's not forget that this Kansas shooter is ex US Navy, surely a man who has served in the United States military should be able to tell the difference between Indians and Middle Eastern folks?
