Are You an Annoying Person? (Yes.) This Annoying? (No.)

Perhaps you are one of those people who often make painful, tortured arguments defending Middle Eastern culture against attacks from ignorant, awful people such as your Elected Officials, or Teevee News Personality?

Please stop that-- trying to defend Middle Easterners by citing Muhammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī is like trying to defend Dancing with the Stars by citing... Well, there haven't really been any great American mathematical prodigies (Charles Reason?), but you surely see what a failure this sort of argumentation is. Merely referencing an atrocity like this video slashes your defense to ribbons-- There is no American Exceptionalism in having an awful, annoying culture.
