Two women wearing hijabs denied entry to Democratic campaign event
Two women wearing hijabs say they were barred from entering a Democratic campaign event in the US
FWIW that video is heavily edited, and the campaign released a statement that a group, including those women, were refused entry because they were disruptive at previous events.
Now, I think Kamala and Biden deserve the protests, and they should be doing something, anything, to end the genocide in Gaza.
But it's a political rally. If you protest at one of these, they're not going to let you into the next one. It has nothing to do with your religious headwear or islamophobia or sexism or terrorism. Claiming discrimination when there isn't any is disingenuous and counterproductive. It lends credence to the people who dismiss legitimate complaints of discrimination.
How do you tell that the video is heavily edited?
I watched the version in the article.
Ah, should’ve stuck to “free special zones” or entered nonsense they’re calling it now.
Don't forget, they alleged racism, not just any discrimination. They equated Islam with a race. I wonder what skin color they assume all muslims have.
Islamophobia is a type of racism. Brown people who aren't even muslim (like Sikhs) often get caught up in it, precisely because the ignorance that fuels it is based in racism.
So we argue that “Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness”
This is very much US-internal news.
US news is World News for the rest of the world
They weren't denied because they were wearing a hijab, they were denied because they had previously disrupted events. The headline should clarify or at least not bait the idea that they are targeting them because they are Muslim, which isn't true.
Been a lot of going backwards as of late.
Looks like we’re going back to the widely accepted Islamophobia from the early 2000s. We have learned nothing.
Did we ever leave those days?
We forgot for a while because the zeitgeist went back to the geopolitics of "Russia and China bad".
I hear you. Shit is fucked up.
Everything we were told Trump will do, Biden is doing. Including cutting financial support to the UNRWA.
This is the future if Trump becomes the president.
Until we drop First Past the Post voting for Ranked Choice, we will never be free of the regressive portions of the democratic party.
TO BE CLEAR: This isn't a 'both sides' argument. Only one party tried to overthrow a legal election by force.
That said, voting blue is only necessary because we realistically have no other choice under our current voting structure.
