Putin is Insensitive
The Sun reports that Commission for Racial Equality thnks the former KGB boss is insensitive.
Mr Putin said: “We all know that African countries used to have a tradition of eating their own adversaries.
“We don’t have such a tradition or process or culture and I believe the comparison between Africa and Russia is not quite just.”
…
Commission for Racial Equality chief Trevor Phillips said last night: “What a preposterous thing to say. He is at best insensitive and at worst a downright racist.”
It seems that a better argument that Mr. Phillips could have made would have been to discuss the accuracy of the statements, rather than discussing their sensitivity level or calling Putin names. If in fact they were inaccurate.
Or maybe to point out that Putin’s argument that “they were worse than us” does not make one’s human rights record any less grievous.
The old playground accusation of “he’s a meany” just doesn’t move me to outrage. Factual arguments might.
