The Middle East

It's perfectly possible to acknowledge the root cause of something while condemning the outcomes and actions of both sides that have resulted from said root cause.

What would you say about each of these (3) outcomes, in turn:

One white kid called my Malaysian friend a *****.
Some of my classmates danced in the playground on 9/11 and laughed at the liquidation of the ghetto scene in Schindler's List that we had to watch in History class.

I think the world is changing very, very quickly and we need to stay on top instead of falling back on more, outdated(?) thinking.

Note, that's a call for a more holistic, nuanced view rather than West = bad.

For example I'm watching this:



But according to some views, only 1 factor is the real cause, and I don't think many are buying that.

I'd say exactly the same thing, as I've already quite clearly addressed this.

Oh and root cause doesn't mean the only factor involved, so please don't try and strawman what I was quite clear about.
