First up, Muslims have a petition over at change.org, requesting that the city cancel an event that has been held there since 1810:
We understand that the Oktoberfest is a yearly German tradition, but we, Muslims, can not tolerate this Un-Islamic event, because it offends us and all Muslims on the earth. We are requesting the immediate cancellation of the upcoming Oktoberfest event.
Munich, it should be noted, has received as many as 13,000 "refugees" in a single day. And they're already getting all "offended".
Closer to home: here in Portland, Oregon a racist Asian woman rants that white people are making her sick and they should pay her medical expenses:
I grew up in and live in the PDX area. The stress of living as a Thai-Cambodian woman in such a white city replete with constant interpersonal and institutional racism has a big toll on my health and wellbeing.* I see an amazing therapist to cope with this shit, but I spend $100/month on therapy for bi-weekly appointments. Now it’s your turn to pay!
Did you know that stress builds up cumulatively, resulting in higher risks of disease? And that stress related to every day racism has been found a major factor in health disparities among people of color, including mental health disorders? And that “stress due to experiences of racism can contribute to adverse birth outcomes, when combined with the effects of general and maternal stress”?
She has set up a crowdfunding page on Youcaring.com. Apparently, if you're white, you're supposed to pay the whiny witch. There's little question that she is, in fact, nutters. Thorazine might help her; blaming others for her own apparent racism won't.
