Abid Malhi and Shafqat Ali were convicted of gang rape, kidnapping, robbery and terrorism offences back in March 2021 over the attack on the Sialkot-Lahore Motorway.
Stating the race isn’t racist, no. But there was also no need to state their race. Does the fact that they were pakistani have any impact on the fact that they raped somebody? Or does it just associate rape with brown people? This appeals to racists and inflames their beliefs that other races are bad. They dont write “two white men” when its two white men, do they?
So yeah, In isolation, it is absolutely not racist.
But given all the existing context, and the push to cause division and hatred to distract us from whats going on upstairs, this is absolutely racist.
Are you quibbling over two vs several? Or are you insinuating the title would be different if they were white? Because I’ve definitely seen the term applied to all races and any number of attackers.
Personally I don’t think we should worry that much about being politically correct when we’re talking about convicted sexual predators.
Not the commenting person, but many problems can stack. If they were white rich men, the headline would probably be along the lines of
“French Woman who engaged in sexual relations in front of her children, sues partners and wins in court.”
In this case, the French(white, tourist therefore rich) woman just happens to be higher in the totem pole than the Pakistani(therefore not white, criminal) men.
So the headline will just punch from low to lower, to reinforce the totem pole.
It’s two guys.
Please don’t ever post this disgusting racist rag.
Ok? Are you saying it’s racist because it said they were pakistani? That’s not racism.
I’m not them and I don’t want to be , but the daily mail is kind of racist tbqh.
I mean, that’s true, but I can’t find it in this particular article or tagline.
