now I can already hear the army of Richard Dawkins parroting anti-feminist Twitter users typing up their responses about how Islam as a religion dedicated to oppressing women it's amazing how suddenly everyone's a feminist when it lets them perpetuate hate against brown people oh boy so Annie Detroiter handed showing that leggo was sexist then video games with sexist then history was sexist then everything was sexist racist and homophobic everything a success - everything is racist everything is homophobic and you have to point it all out now you might choke that last one up to hyperbole until you watch her latest video it I've got to admit it was just so bad than when I first tried to watch it I only made it about five minutes in before I just couldn't take it anymore and after that I just had to take a break and hardened my will before making it through the rest and boy did she get paid well for doing all this $160,000 to show the video games for sexist two hundred thousand dollars for her five-minute wiki summaries about women in history now she's doing really well recent stuff about culture first of all we've done a lot of research on this and as it turns out words actually have meanings weird right yeah this is gonna be good evil brown people if you're vaguely Brown denying brown people work it's so common that on screen brown skin has practically become synonymous with bad guys just white men and Islamophobia Gary Brown men who have little or no character development beyond hating America and freedom fries white heroes brown women's bodies Gary Brown people currently perpetuate Islamophobia arkad of all this anti brown racism Gary Brown men it was just one of those countries of the evil scary brown people live in yes this is view one culture here is if you think that Islam has a greater propensity for putting forward dumb ideas like the path to martyrdom and changing people's minds is in blowing up kids at a pop concert if you criticize things like that then you're a simple-minded race from True Lies to American sniper from 24 to call of duty modern warfare Western media is full of images of evil brown people who need to be wiped from the earth by noble righteous white men heroically fighting for freedom and justice and sure it's so commonplace by this point that maybe you don't even bat an eye at old-fashioned American Islamophobia in our media I think you could never say for instance get someone who vigorously argued against the gung-ho attitude of the US and the UK in Iraq argued the invading Iraq after 9/11 would have been like invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor while simultaneously criticizing the really stupid aspects of Islam you know like it it's okay to bury a six or a seven year old and have sex with them a year or so later if you're the prophet of God now brown people don't bother me dumb people do this is why I was remarkably okay with president president of the Harvard Law Review you know the brown one but do have issues with president no one new health care was so complicated it's an unbelievably complex subject nobody knew that health care could be so complicated health care is complicated because our health care system is so complex I suffer no illusions that this will be an easy process once again it will be hard healthcare is complicated stuff nobody knew that health care could be so complicated Oh president CFCs don't deplete ozone so if I take hairspray and if I spray it in my apartment which is all sealed and you're telling me that effects of the ozone layer yes I see no way folks no way okay no president why don't we ditch the first climate codes in what is currently the second hottest year on record their problem people don't bother me dumb ones do which is why I'm currently making a video about someone who is white honestly for great periods of Anita's video the argument was so shallow at times I really couldn't tell if I was watching a parody of one least bait like in four lions yeah you're surprised kids are going on a training camp that is not what are your kids going off to training camps but despite the fact that Islam is a religion not a race it's vital for us to understand that Islamophobia is racism well first off our objective the job training case you just used it no what did know if you've been paying attention this far you might be asking yourself if Islam isn't a race then how can Islamophobia be racism it's a wish them fantasy you people think of Muslims running around a marriage with guns and bombs you know I took you down to the ground wouldn't it but they do exist don't they geez what I'm saying is if you listen is that if they didn't exist you people would have to invent it so let's start by clarifying a few terms whose meaning has been obscured by media that paints the entire Middle East with the same broad shallow ignorant brush and sure it's so commonplace by this point that maybe you don't even bat an eye at old-fashioned American Islamophobia in our media [Music] yep apparently that all it takes is one eight second clip to show good old-fashioned American Islamophobia in Raiders of the Lost Ark now it's interesting that the origin of this clip isn't actually American Islamophobia but to listen dysentery Harrison Ford held a not asked me anything to answer questions on reddit Sunday where he discussed the story behind one of the most famous scenes in the Indiana Jones films the first movie Raiders of the Lost Ark Indiana Jones he's being chased through the streets of Cairo by a bunch of goons when he comes face-to-face with a scary swordsman who brandishes his weapon preparing what seems to be an epic duel instead Indiana shoots the swordsman genius in the ask me anything Ford says the scene was actually supposed to be a lengthy sword fight but he was suffering from dysentery at the time and could only film scenes in 10-minute increments before having to run to his trailer to a take care of business instead Ford and the director Steven Spielberg decided it would be better to have Indiana Jones shoot the swordsman considering the scene would have taken an extra three days to shoot yeah good old-fashioned American hero and a phobia let's start by clarifying a few terms whose meaning has been obscured by media that paints the entire Middle East with the same broad shallow ignorant brush I mean let's see what else we can learn about the Indiana Jones films you know from eighty second clips like Indiana Jones with nothing to do with stealing religious artifacts and killing Nazis [Music] don't call me junior they never consulted a brown people without which they would have never found the ark no Indiana Jones has a terrible negative depiction of white people who had terribly depicted as being afraid of snakes I mean this get all the fashion American white racism where white people are just depicted as incompetent fools I mean just look at this eight second clip or he's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan he speaks a dozen languages knows every local custom he'll blend in disappear you'll never see him again with any luck he's got the grill already cool what else you got for us Anita oh great a five second clip good old-fashioned American Islamophobia in Iron Man another film which was totally monolithic in its simplistic depiction of brown people I mean it's not like in that exact same film there are brown people who soon to have normal human emotions like not wanting their families to be split up or anything there's tremendous Hartmann centuries of images that reduce entire nations cultures and religions to the status of subhuman savages people in the Middle East have never been established as human beings with real lives hopes dreams and struggles honestly it offended me a lot more when a tank actually manages to shoot Ironman out of the sky a moving target at a distance and then after he doesn't die from terminal change of momentum at the up sorry suit or not Tony died of blunt force injuries when the tank shell hit it and then again when he hit the ground but yeah the tank which seconds earlier nice to blow Ironman out of the sky at a distance manages to miss him a point-blank range but you know what Anita I realized this film wasn't trying to educate me about Mt physics or mountains can hit moving targets at a distance but not static ones nearby keys the plot demander it wasn't let teach me that brown people can love their children but it's simply a superhero movie you know for fun then she has a few more examples before she comes to rules of engagement now you'll notice something interesting here the American hero here is actually a brown person samuel l.jackson to be specific well that's odd because Anita thing goes on to suggest that brown people can only get work portraying terrorists shouting things like death to America okay okay maybe that's not entirely fair in some ways things have changed Once Upon a Time non-white actors could hardly get any work in Hollywood at all these days shows like homeland and movies like executive decision are providing some Brown actors with ample opportunity to portray scary terrorists who get gunned down while screaming something absurd like death to America it doesn't even matter if you're not actually a Middle Eastern descent if you're vaguely Brown you can stick around to play bad guys this idea that non-whites can only play terrorists is just complete crap Morgan Freeman samuel l.jackson Laurence Fishburne hell Oprah is the richest person in show business worth almost three billion dollars maybe anita should just tell her it's so great that hollywood will finally let brown people like her in front of the camera if only shall scream death to America you know the America that just had a brown president and even if she shifts the goalposts and says yeah black people not brown ones it doesn't even matter if you're not actually a Middle Eastern descent if you're vaguely Brown you can stick around to play bad guys so what in a last video where she was complaining about how black people only make up 10% of Hollywood actors because she's found that Hollywood is horribly racist with 75% of the people in the film's being white and only 12% black and I mean token 5% Asian wow you've really ballooned a little of that racism Anita seventy-five percent white there for racism that's until you compare it to say the demographics of America what you find it's about 75 percent white people Taub's and black people and me yeah 5% Asian that Hollywood is an almost perfect reflection of the demographics of America that easy these unbelievably non-discriminating complaining that Hollywood is 75% white is like getting offended that Bollywood is 99% Indian you know that Hollywood is more or less an exact reflection of the demographics of America you know not racist at all so how many brown people by whatever definition she's using here does she expect to find in Hollywood but all things move to anyway juicy fingers on to describe Islamophobia as racism but despite the fact that Islam is a religion not a race it's vital for us to understand that Islamophobia is racism these if you've been paying attention this far you might be asking yourself if Islam isn't a race then how can Islamophobia be racism what that makes no sense whatsoever and no saying mutually contradictory things in a video doesn't put you in the clear it makes you look like a hypocrite at best and an idiot at worst so let's hit this great explanation as to why she thinks that even though Islam is not a race Islamic phobia is racism the answer lies in another ism one many Westerners aren't particularly familiar with that's Orientalism in short the term Orientalism refers to how for hundreds of years Western artistic and academic history has perpetuated an ignorant and prejudiced view of the East a view rooted in the idea of Western culture as inherently more advanced and enlightened and Eastern culture yeah there's simply no explanation there none whatsoever what Islamophobia is racism because of Orientalism makes no sense at all rooted in the idea of Western culture as inherently more advanced and enlightened and Eastern culture as inherently more ignorant irrational primitive it doesn't even matter if you're not actually a Middle Eastern descent if you're vaguely brown you can stick around to play guys look Anita there's a reason why the Islamic terrorism thing keeps coming up so often because if you look at international acts of terrorism aimed at killing as many civilians as possible well you tell me which religion tops the bill I'll give you a clue it ain't the Amish and of course that makes it into the media in the same way sort of gangster movies do cuz blowing up civilians is bad at stopping them in a story is something that people like to see really this isn't that complicated and then this really has to be seen to be believed Anita goes on to suggest that it's the West who's to blame for not putting women into media about the Middle East the very real advances that Arab women have made in many parts of the world are ignored because depicting them would complicate the simplistic racist narrative about Arabs and Muslims that Hollywood continues trying to cash in on it's almost as if we don't know how to contend with women as real people [Music] seriously you look at something like this and don't think that's a really backward religion but you think that my word the Western media is so evil for not making movies about these women and casting them in a positive light filmmakers and TV producers know how to objectify women how to prise them for their physical attributes in their appearance the stories we allow ourselves to tell about the Middle East don't allow for the same kind of easy objectification of these brown women's bodies and so we resist including them at all now I can already hear the army of Richard Dawkins parroting anti-feminist twitter users typing up their responses about how Islam as a religion dedicated to oppressing women it's amazing how suddenly everyone's a feminist when it lets them perpetuate hate against brown people hey I've got news for you Anita places like Saudi Arabia which has to be said is the home of the Islamic holy city of Mecca you know the one that's so open-minded that non-muslims are not allowed into the city you know the place where they behead witches and atheists have been declared international terrorists they ain't interested in your feminism hell they see all of these as a threat to their culture and you'll be happy to know that for this freak show as they call it they said last month they needed $20,000 to continue this great series of four videos the first one was on cultural appropriation the second one was on how people shouldn't make fun of Trump because of his manhood or something and now we have this abomination $20,000 for four videos at $5,000 a shot hell they said they needed $600 just to film for the day are you kidding me $600 a day to film this look honestly for the videos I put into the patreon supported feed I get very generously supported for those but damn some of those videos require a lot of technical stuff for videos like this one which let's be real a more or less just expressing an opinion I really can't bring myself to add those to the patreon supported stream because fundamentally beyond a day of my life to edit this crap together things like this really don't require much more than bloody common sense and of course they sheer determination to watch these videos and sure maybe I'll see some ad revenue from it maybe YouTube team monetizes it because it's called atheists or Islam or feminism and or or something and maybe I don't get squat for spending a day of my life going through crap like this but such other brakes but she here he's making aunty common-sense videos and charging people $5,000 a pop for how seriously how [Music]
