She’s… not brown though. Like you see these two next to each other and can compare their complexions, right? Maybe you mean she’s not European White?
She’s Iranian, born in a Muslim culture, belonged to the family of a Theocratic Dictator, a victim of the Trump regime, and her death will be ignored for all of those reasons. But that girl is white. As was the Ayatollah. As are most Iranians. They are as white as Jews are. Being white doesn’t stop other white people from victimizing you for all your other innate qualities though, nor from pretending you aren’t actually exactly as white at them.
Racism is epigenetic Calvinball. There are no consistent rules, and rules are changed on the spot to whatever helps racists feel like they are winning in the moment.
Weird fact I know as a South Africa, the Apartheid government racially classified Iranians as… white. I think it helped both being pariahs internationally and for the Apartheid regime to justify doing business with Iranians they had to be white.
You say all that as if any of the racist fucks of that administration understood something beyond “she’s from a country in the mid-east so she’s brown” to cathegorize her.
No, I say that as if you are the person who called her brown, not them. They are bigoted fucks, yes. But their bigotry is not exclusive to non-white people as you suggested. That both diminishes their actual bigotry and is so inconsistent with reality that you leave a very obvious defense to your criticism of their bigotry, both of which are counter-productive. They hate brown people, yes. They also hate anybody else that is different, brown or not.
But their bigotry is not exclusive to non-white people as you suggested.
No I didn’t. I said that being brown was the only thing they considered to categorize specifically her. Because that was i t for her. I never said they weren’t bigoted and assholes regarding other aspects of people lives.

Can you point out where did I diminish their actual bigotry? I just made a comment about how, IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE, she being “brown” was the only thing considered to mark her as “non-people”. Where did I say that they don’t hate LGBTQ+ people, or women, or anyone who’s not a white straight usian man? Nowhere, you’re just inferring it from who knows where.
You have to understand tho. Zahra was… you know… brown… that’s like… not even a person.
