From the oxford dictionary

"noun: xenophobia

dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries."

Cambridge has a similar definition. I had greek in high school and If I remember correctly xenos translates to stranger. I'm not about to call someone on the internet an idiot but you should have looked that up...

ykw im actually extremely tired of europeans butting in to conversations about race to say 'actually there is racism against white people in europe :/' cuz no there isnt, yall need to cut it out. there is rampant xenophobia in europe, that is true and its a major problem, but the fact is it would be worse if you werent white. its extremely tone deaf of all of you to make the claim that white people experience racism anywhere when we both know damn well being discriminated against for not being from western europe would be worse if you arent white. as a caribbean native i know this because of the way our diaspora in europe is treated (since theyre both foreigners and nonwhite) and the state of territories like martinique (literally european, still experience discrimination). what you experience isnt fucking racism, and its not comparable to the racism europeans of colour face. just because you experience some discrimination doesnt mean you dont benefit from whiteness and you should all shut the fuck up and realise your hands arent as clean as you seem to think.

The most extreme black/death metal bands with album covers and music videos full of upside down crosses and pentagrams WISH they could offend the Christian status quo as much as a Black gay rapper did with a single clip

I just had a lecture about gift economies. I thought the gift exchange was highly ritualised and did come with very strong expectations of reciprocity?

the funniest thing in arguments about economics is when someone tries to convince you cavemen were actually mini-capitalists and trading items was the free market or something so capitalism is human nature

In my experience the media covers Israeli losses way more then those of Palestinians, but then again I am not British. To see antisemitism in media is sadly not surprising at all. I do think though that Palestinians in Gaza suffer more deaths than Israelis simply bc Israel has a pretty damn great missile defense system called the iron dome. Still, measuring human life is impossible and a single death is one too many. Other than that I do agree completely. The question of land-ownership is never one that can be answered indefinitely. I see that point being made way to little probably bc it's such an essential concept of our culture.

There’s no justice in this world.

“ I was walking on the street in Germany, when I noticed on one of the sidewalks a few gold painted stones upon which words were craved in German. They were put in this old spot to honor some of the Jews who were severely oppressed by Nazis. One of those stones was carved with “ Here lived ( name ) who ran away to ( and the word also means refuged to ) Palestine in 1931 “ 

Yes, It said Palestine. 

And another stone with the same words with another name and another date….. I felt like I’ve found an evidence to give those who claim Palestine belongs to the Jews. 

I took my phone out and took pictures till they exceeded 20. 

A man was passing by me. I asked him with my simple German to explain what was written here and why?! 

He explained to me until he got the word “ Palestine “. Then I asked him              “ Palestine ? and where is that ? “. “it’s in the Middle East” He answered .

 So, I said “ Really! Where ?? I know all Arab countries. There’s no Palestine”… To which he replied “ Now it’s called Israel! “

And as if I knew nothing I asked “ and it’s originally Palestine ?” He said “yes”. 

“ Then why did the name change ? “ I asked

He stuttered. As if what he wanted to utter forbidden words that he keeps deep within. 

I said to him “ Sir, I am Palestinian. I am sorry, I just wanted to know something and now I do. you mean to say those people ran away to my country and my grandparents welcomed them”.

He said “ Yes” 

“ And they were safe there? “ 

He said “ Yes“

“ And how do you feel about the fact that the grandchildren of those refugees now live in Palestine. And the grandchildren of the welcoming people, like me , have never seen Palestine and have no right to visit it ?” 

He shook his head and said “ There is no justice in this world” “
