What's wrong with him hating "hadjis"?
I spent time in north africa and the middle east, serving as a peace corps volunteer.
If anything, he was putting it mildly. Some cultures encourage and propogate traditions and sets of characteristics which deserve to be hated.
I honestly cannot believe I have to spell this out for you. The thing that's wrong with hating "effing hajjis" is the same thing that's wrong with someone hating "effing niggers". Or "effing kikes". Or "effing spics". Or "effing <any derogatory name for a group, that encompasses all of the spite that a person feels for individuals, and applies it to an entire group>".
Everyone knows that all Muslims hate the west. Everyone knows all Jews are money-grubbers. Everyone knows that all Christians hate fags. Everyone knows all gays are promiscuous. Everyone knows all pagans sacrifice babies for Dark Sabbats. Everyone knows all women belong in the kitchen because they can't do a man's work. Everyone knows all gun owners are violent psychopaths. Everyone knows all priests are child molesters.
Are there any other sweeping and unfounded generalizations I've missed? :rolleyes:
Saying that you hate "effing hajjis" is a hell of a lot different from saying that you hate the people you had to deal with; it lumps an entire
race into the group of "people to be hated".
If a culture, as you say, propagates traditions and sets of characteristics that deserve to be hated, that does not mean that everyone from that bloodline, that culture, that region of the world, is worthy of hatred.
I imagine that somewhere out there there is an "effing hajji" who would love to shake your hand and try to work to get the culture of the middle east out of the dark ages. Would you take that hand? If you say you would, I call BS. Because if you're OK with labeling an entire group with a term like "effing hajjis", you're no longer looking at individuals. You're assuming that all of the individuals of a group are the same, and worthy of your derision.
