Swatch has issued an apology and removed an advertisement featuring a model pulling the corners of his eyes, after the image sparked outrage among Chinese social media users. The controversial pose was seen as resembling the racist “slanted eye” gesture historically used to mock Asians. Following the ad’s viral spread, calls for a boycott of Swatch products emerged on Chinese social media platforms. Despite the company’s apology, many critics remain unsatisfied, accusing Swatch of prioritizing profits over genuine remorse.

On August 11th, the former president announced he was taking federal control of the police force in Washington, D.C., deploying the National Guard and declaring a “crime emergency.” This action was framed as a response to alleged lawlessness and linked to the removal of Confederate statues, invoking a “woke culture” as the cause of the city’s problems. The former president’s rhetoric mirrored that of white supremacist groups, who have been trying to “take back” the country. This move is part of a broader pattern of fearmongering, linking perceived incompetence and lawlessness with the political participation of Black people and other marginalized groups, echoing historical patterns of disenfranchisement.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott accuses Rep. Jasmine Crockett of racism after she objects to redistricting plan. It’s a familiar pattern, isn’t it? The accusation, ironically, often reveals the truth. Accuse others of what you’re doing, as you do it. It’s almost as if there’s a playbook. It’s a tactic that feels designed to deflect and control the narrative. In this case, it’s about Texas’s redistricting plan, and Rep. Crockett’s objections to it.
The whole situation feels like gaslighting, doesn’t it? The accusations of racism, especially coming from those implementing policies that appear to disadvantage certain groups, it’s like a deliberate attempt to obfuscate what’s really happening.… Continue reading
Recent reports detail a surge in racist attacks targeting individuals of Indian origin in Ireland, culminating in a violent assault on a six-year-old girl. The young girl was attacked by a group of boys who verbally abused her and physically assaulted her, including pushing a bicycle wheel onto her. In the wake of the attack, the mother, an Irish citizen and nurse, reported the incident to the authorities but hopes the boys receive counselling rather than punishment. These incidents follow other recent racially motivated attacks, including one on an Indian-origin taxi driver and another reported by Dr. Santosh Yadav, prompting a community Stand Against Racism protest.

This man is a U.S. citizen by birth. Why did ICE mark him for deportation — again? Well, it’s a question that cuts right to the core, doesn’t it? The case of Miguel Silvestre, a man born in the U.S., targeted not once, but multiple times for deportation, highlights a worrying trend. The story is a real head-scratcher, especially when you consider the fundamental truth: U.S. citizens cannot legally be deported.
The obvious, yet deeply troubling, reason for this repeated targeting seems to be the color of his skin and his last name, and his appearance. This isn’t exactly a secret, is it?… Continue reading
A federal court in Southern California has ruled that ICE agents cannot rely solely on race or language to detain individuals, citing violations of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments. The court’s temporary restraining order follows a lawsuit and mandates that officers must have a reasonable suspicion of a violation of immigration law before stopping someone. This decision, while specific to the Central District of California, curtails ICE’s practices of targeting individuals based on ethnicity or location and denying them access to legal counsel. The ruling underscores that racism is not a valid basis for reasonable suspicion, and prevents ICE from continuing its previous practices.

During an interview, Senator Tommy Tuberville expressed concern about the leadership in major American cities, deeming it “godawful.” He advocated for President Trump to defund these cities, particularly those with “sanctuary” policies, citing the federal debt. Tuberville characterized individuals in these urban areas as “rats” living off the government and called for their deportation. He also made controversial comments about urban dwellers potentially relocating to Alabama. Additionally, Tuberville expressed views on mass migration and radical Islamic terrorism, comparing certain American cities to European cities he believes are negatively impacted.

Stephen Miller, a former Trump advisor, echoed the “great replacement theory” in response to Zohran Mamdani’s primary victory in New York City. Miller suggested that unchecked migration had fundamentally altered the NYC electorate, contributing to the shift in political landscape. This mirrors Miller’s history of promoting the racist theory, which claims that immigrants are being used to replace native-born Americans. He doubled down on this sentiment, using NYC as a warning for what happens when a society fails to control migration.

Prior to his inauguration, President Trump threatened South Africa with 100% tariffs if it pursued a new currency to challenge the dollar, a plan South Africa denied. Subsequently, the Trump administration cut aid to South Africa, expelled its ambassador, and then, during a White House meeting, falsely accused South Africa of committing genocide against white farmers, showing fabricated evidence. South African President Ramaphosa refuted these claims, highlighting the country’s high crime rate and seeking assistance from the US, a request Trump ignored. This incident exposed Trump’s deep-seated racism and disregard for truth, fueled by his advisor Elon Musk and aligning with Trump’s broader anti-immigrant and anti-diversity stances.

Shiloh Hendrix’s viral racist tirade and subsequent crowdfunding windfall highlight the ascendance of far-right racism fueled by white grievance culture. This phenomenon, long warned against by Never Trumpers, is wrongly framed by “MAGA centrists” as a reaction to “wokeness,” ignoring the decade-long rise of the alt-right and its integration into mainstream conservative politics. Examples like Tucker Carlson, JD Vance, and Trump himself demonstrate the hypocrisy of blaming the left for the right’s own racism and culture of victimhood. Ultimately, the “woke right” is not a new phenomenon but a continuation of existing far-right extremism empowered by Trump’s presidency.
