Since when is Chechnya in the Middle East?

.... maybe they (the troll or the secret-maker, I'm not sure) are going with "all Muslims are Middle Eastern"?

(Anonymous) 2013-04-30 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't, but the troll might be trying to make a "joke" about that since most fear-mongering Americans immediately blamed all the "Arab Muslims" and STILL insist it's "the same thing". If the troll was trying to make some kind of political statement, it's still stupid. If they genuinely think these guys are Middle Eastern, just plain stupid... and in ANY case, completely not okay.

This.

That reminds me: how sad is it that the Czech embassy thought it necessary to remind everyone that Chechnya and the Czech Republic were not one and the same?

What? Who fucked that up? Oh man, it's "Russia invaded Georgia" all over again...

...Sometimes I forget why it's so embarrassing to admit to being American when I'm overseas. And then people do stupid shit like this and I want to cry.

Czechoslovakia broke up in 1993, why the fuck are they talking about Czechoslovakia. To be fair I learned geography on Cold War era maps (actually right around the time that everybody split up and Germany got back together), but it's been literally twenty years. No excuse.

Pretty sure it was Fox News (big surprise there). A Twitter friend of mine got pretty pissed about it when the fuck-up happened, and since his dad only watches Fox (and they're not known for actually being accurate), I'm assuming it was them.

Since stupid fuckers never learned to read a map since they're all over the football stats instead.

Since the 98', when Superman and Flash's race across the world caused the earth's rotation and all the continents to shift places. You know, around the same time Nixon was re-elected president of the world.

Ugh, thank you. OP's ignorance really just explains why I refuse to discuss politics or religion with most people. The asshole who apped using those PBs needs to have their face punched in but the stupidity of the generalization of Muslims = ONLY Middle East!! made me clench my teeth.

Sorry to inform you, OP, but religion is not confined to one section of the world.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-02 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, when you say the OP, you meant the person who applied for this group and not the secretmaker, right? Because if you mean the latter, I get the feeling the OP understands that part. After all, the situation is that someone applied to play a Middle Eastern character and used those pics as PBs. This would mean that it's whoever sent in the app and not the OP who was making the assumption that the people in those pics are Middle Eastern. I'm also willing to bet that, given that the RP group in question is intelligent enough to be offended by this application, the fact that these two men aren't Middle Eastern is probably somewhere on the laundry list of reasons why the app pissed them off.

Thanks for posting this so I don't have to. (They're from the Caucasus Mountains! As in, what Caucasians are named for! They could not BE more Caucasian!)
