“You can’t be racist against Irish Catholics because it’s a religion not a race”

I’m gonna sound like a real fuckwad, but assimilate.

can’t believe you just said “facing persecution for your religious faith simply don’t be a member of the religious minority being persecuted”

Yea they made it so nobody could wear religious cultural clothes but there’s only one religion that includes wearing those clothes as a belief

there are multiple such as Islam and Sikhism to give two examples. This law is just an example of religious persecution against religions that don’t fit in with the French idea of which religions a French person should have

ok so straight up religious persecution of multiple groups

what’s next sikhs can’t wear turbans in school

secular means not taking a religious stance and being neutral about it. Being secular would mean letting people wear them as they choose not allowing people to wear religious attire is taking a religious stance and thus isn’t secular

rather than secularity this is religious persecution

Yes we are talking about Ukraine right now which is why Ukraine is coming up a lot

as I understand their point they were saying that as Ukrainian nationalists tried to kill their family they are not especially sympathetic to the cause of Ukrainian nationalism. I may be wrong of course but that is what I interpreted their statement as meaning

their relatives were Jews killed in WW2 by the Nazis and Ukrainian collaborateurs like Bandera. That’s abundantly clear from context
