Hey did you see the post on ovarit about middle east men beating up a lesbian couple in Canada? Is the news true? How do you find out if it's true or not? The comments on there are something else...

The article:

https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/middle-eastern-men-beat-lesbian-celebrating-birthday-canada/

The ovarit post:

https://ovarit.com/o/WomensLiberation/573777/mob-of-middle-eastern-men-brutally-beat-lesbian-couple-out-celebrating-a-birthda

yeah the story is true, tho that source i find quite iffy bc i know hate crimes by white men wouldn't start with the headline "white men beat lesbian" for example, it would just say "gang of men" instead bc race isn't considered note-worthy if its a white person

i hope they receive justice. theres some absolutely deranged men out there who don't know how to act normally and get violent when theyre barely provoked

also the fact that in no part of any of the articles was these men's religion mentioned, yet ppl in the comments in ovarit made it about muslims and how dangerous muslims r... this is why i keep saying that ppl just use muslim as a way to disguise their racism. even tho clearly, on ovarit, theres no need to disguise any of it and u can openly talk about how wrong it is to support refugees escaping their countries

#and theyre talking about canada where not even 50k syrian refugees exist so its not about the number #anyways ive lived in a heavily refugee muslim syrian area for several years #and my gf and i regularly would go out holding hands etc. at most they have stared but we have been safe #im sure most hold homophobic beliefs bc thats the case in most countries & societies tho #but the comments on ovarit made it all about immigration and refugees and other minority groups its acceptable to demonise #these men deserve to be held accountable and punished for their actions but im tired of ppl pretending they represent me or any demographic #besides men. u dont read stories of muslim women raping or beating ppl up in the streets. u do read stories of christian and muslim and #white and black and etc men doing that tho. and yet the problem is syrians or refugees or immigrants or muslims etc. they refuse to #name the real problem
