There are around
400,000 Arabs in Germany, and over the last year, that number, including South Africans, seems to have nearly doubled, but it's hard to find precise statistics. Let's go with the speculative high numbers by the German police officers of around 2,000 offenders. That's only .5% of the Arab-Germans committed crimes like these. Racism has a much higher prevalence in white people, so I suppose by the same token, we should assume that all white people are deep-seated racists.
If you don't think that many coaches have made this justification for their players, then you're incredibly naive. This type of thing is where the Western notion of "rape apology" comes from. This is an extremely trivial and prototypical example brought up by feminists.
Lashings? No, probably not, but certainly social shunning, and other form of systemic "blame the victim" abuses go on. It's why the police go through special efforts to protect rape victims identities and why there's special laws (like bringing up past sexual history) is inadmissible in court.
This actually sounds like (white) rape apology. Just to be clear here, you do agree that jocks who commit rape are not merely "testosterone filled young men" but often are predators who've largely been made predators by rape cultures that exists on some sports teams, yes? Please tell me you agree with that, otherwise you're a pretty amazing hypocrite.
Why, because you say so? I find this endlessly fascinating. The "We don't like brown rapists! Deport all Muslims!" crowd is not fueled --in most cases-- by some deep-seated belief in feminism or protecting women.
Yes, of course I can compare similar cultures that promote rape and statistically creates rapists. The whole point is the same reason you're trying to defend football players right now:
Obviously, most football players aren't rapists, even if some football teams have a rape culture. But of course, you're ideologically committed to not recognize that the
exact same reasoning applies to Arabs and North-Africans.
And I suggest that we combat both types of rape in the exact same: Fight the subcultures that promote rape and rape apology, attack the arguments, spread knowledge, and make people who commit sexual violence pay for their crimes. Saying, "You're brown, you're probably a rapist" only seems to seriously deter that effort.
You're taking a childishly course-grained approach to "society." Do I agree that vast swaths of NA/ME have serious rape cultures? Yes, I obviously do. But does this make me think that this means every single person from that society is a rapist or is pro-rape? No, not at all, that's an absurd conclusion.
Islam isn't a racist ideology, typically construed, but it is authoritarian, theocratic, homophobic, misogynistic, etc. I have no love for Islam, but I do not want all Arabs/South Africans/etc to be confused for Jihadist or traditionalist Muslims. The Middle-East/North-Africa/South-Asia areas do have a set of cultural problems. Islam is often a part of them, I agree. But you get a choice, in my opinion, either you get to bomb and destroy and destabilize AND accept refugees from that area OR you don't have to accept refugees if you don't bomb, destroy, and destabilize regions of the world.
What are you talking about?
