9 Nines Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Marines hold back literacy? Also, wouldn't you have to be able to read it to know you should thank a marine for not being able to read it - some marine literacy catch-22? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzTitan Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 It's a stupid premise because there is realistically no military force trying to invade and take over the US and force the locals to read and write Arabic. It's a patriotic ploy that may have been relevant during WW2 with German or Japanese but not now. I imagine it may offend because it singles out people who can read that as not belonging, and these people fall overwhelming in categories other than white person who was born here. If you want to single out such people then cool I guess, but you can't act dumb when it gets the reaction it was fishing for. I guess the counter sticker might be "if you can read this..." followed by "2+2" or something, then you can thank Arabic scholars and mathematicians?

Starkiller Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Denali conflates islamophonia with patriotism. Pretty common in white nationalist circles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
