What an absolute load of nonsense. I have spent a decent amount of time in Qatar. I watched what were effectively slaves working away to build stadiums and hotels. It is a fair statement to point out the irony of a place with very strong censorship criticise censorship.

If the BBC lauded a foreign country for the equivalent of bloody Sunday I would point that out too so honestly just jog on.

Edit: just to reiterate, I agreed with the premise up front. It’s not a bad article. That doesn’t take away from a censorship heavy regime criticising censorship through their mouthpiece and I fully acknowledge that AJ is generally decent so no, it’s not racism.

“I swear, I’m not talking about crime just because I passed a random person of color. Being anti crime is a total rational thought to bring up, and I just find the topic interesting and worth talking about at this particular moment is all. That person we passed was actually a really chill dude, and the fact that I said that makes me not a racist”
