On Monday’s prime time show, after Muslim journalist Mehdi Hasan stated that he supports Palestinians, conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky responded, “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off.”
The remark is offensive, but how is it racist? The implication was that Hasan’s ideology is similar to that of Hezbollah, which isn’t a race.

the implication is that all arabs are terrorists, which is 100% racist
Worse still, Hasan isn’t Arab at all. He was born in the UK to Indian parents.
Yeah, I was born in the US to Indian parents, and I was still 100% an Arab terrist in the south.
I think that’s quite a stretch. Girdusky’s comment is clearly a response specifically to Hasan’s expression of support for Palestinians.
I assure you, it is not.
LOL ok… i guess congrats for being one of the like 10 people who think that guy’s not actually racist
And the pagers targeted Hezbollah, not Palestinians. Ergo, racist.
Some people can’t hear the dog whistles until they become bullhorns.
