The us vs them thing gets old when people think its a problem caused by anyone other than those who choose to identify as a them as opposed to us. BLM, KKK, 31 flavors of gender, whatever. If you define yourself as primarily being something other than the us, then you are the problem.
Case in point, Faisal, never occurred to me he was a muslim, because he doesnt come here saying " Hi, Im Muslim Faisal" He opts to let that be a component of his whole identity, rather than his whole identity. Any ism these days is a tool to divide. Johnny punches everybody, so johnny doesnt get invited to your pool party, you are practicing nopunchism, you are the problem.
