Just because powerful elements in the West misuse accounts of misdeeds in the non-West, doesn't mean terrible things don't happen. Denial of massacres or ethnic cleansing, whether in India, China or Syria is not a good look for the left, and it's certainly not anti-imperialism. https://twitter.com/comradekelley/status/1349502506825637888

Here is someone talking about recognising people with features like her own & someone thought it appropriate to compare it to skull-measuring. You make a travesty of much needed analysis of racism by turning it into a bloody joke.

This is the kind of thing that makes it very hard to criticise the real eugenicists & skull measurers--who exist--because someone who fancies themselves 'left' though it okay to apply the analogy randomly to everything. It's called TRIVIALISING.

Far too much of the 'left' is into a joke version of "anti-imperialism" which denies state atrocities in the global south.
