    A Saudi Arabian company that was created by the Saudi Arabian government just purchased Pokémon Go

    If you can’t see the article i will paste it for you.

    I’m speaking from experience as a Saudi person who’s always grouped with the “saudi” or "Arabic " or “brown” groups instead of another human being.

    So am i, and i’m also sick of it and the people who use this to fuel discrimination. I see this article as more of a reason to hate the sauds, not saudi people.

      Anyone that groups individuals with their government is a bigot advertising their bigotry.

      Edit: looks like I upset some bigots.

          I guess I’m pretty suspicious of all states and the control they exert over the average person to use that metric. It’s my opinion that if democracy worked, it’d be illegal (or subverted by a CIA-backed coup).
