I call it colonial trauma. Our forefathers would rape the help and the worse that would happen is getting berated by the judge.

But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

The Bible accuses Canaanites of child sacrifice and that led to their judgement and destruction. And these fools think God is going to bless us for letting our children get murdered (and don't even get my started on our hand in the death of Palestinian children).
