The World In Focus

Life through a Lens

Text Post

For everyone who was wondering why all the brown people were freaking out on Tumblr last night:

jigartronic:

field-day-for-the-sundays:

-I got punched and called a sandnigger at school today.
-Someone said ‘I’m so sorry for your loss’ (this is MUCH MUCH worse than the sandnigger thing)
-I had to sit through a US history class in which the teacher and half of my classmates went on and on about how evil Pakistan is for hiding him and how we need to leave Iraq and Afghanistan so we can invade them.

We knew it was coming. Just didn’t think it’d be so quick.

Something that I was afraid of as well. Just hope that that the media/politicians dont turn this the wrong way and make Pakistan the enemy. 

People (and perhaps Americans in particular) can be so ignorant. Terrorists aim to spread fear and hatred - how are the people who made these hurtful comments any different?
