stfubelievers: No need to pick a defense, just throw them all out there and see what sticks. (Thanks anonymous) Okay, so ‘arabs palatinians and israelis now’ are no indication of the ethnicity of people who lived there a mere 2000ish years ago? That is the lamest excuse for whitewashing that I have seen in a while.  Also, it seems that whenever ethnicity is an issue, the ‘they could be purple’ comment is brought out. POC-friendly crayons? They should just use purple, kids don’t care what colour you are! Bah. Is purple some magic colour that erases discrimination?

    They probably should care if people are purple though, I think that means they’re choking to death.
