Racist America? I would say arrogant and elitist, which is the main problem people outside the USA have with the USA. The turning down of help and aid from nations it doesn’t like was really arrogant and further drove a wedge between the USA and the rest of the world. Even with the arrogant and elitist title, there are people in the USA who don’t fit those two words.

The state of Louisiana just elected a new Governor: Bobby Jindal, a first generation American born to parents who immigrated from Punjab, India.

It is a racism against people of color.

I apologize for the rude attitude. I just don’t like people who put themselves above everybody else and insist that they’re heroes or something. The whole “rich Arabs” thing gets on my nerves too.

Maybe you should check again, because that’s not what you did. What you did was portray “rich Arab” countries in a very negative light and then claim that it was all thanks to the USA that “saved” these other people. Your tone was so distasteful. What did you expect us to do, bow down and say thank god for the USA? It really sounds like that’s the reaction you were going for. I never claimed once that our countries do good for the sake of other nations; I already answered the questions by saying THEY NEVER DONATED THIS MUCH MONEY TO NEITHER IRAN WHEN IT WAS SUFFERING FROM AN EARTHQUAKE CRISIS, NOR THE TSUNAMI WHEN SOUTH ASIA WAS A MESS. But it did jump to America’s rescue, a country that is stable enough to handle itself. I specifically said this, I repeated it twice. This is the third time I am answering your question: No, they do not do this to other Muslim countries, because if they are not personally gaining anything from sending aid, then they do not actually care. I never once stated otherwise, I never once tried to justify this lack of aid and interest towards neighboring countries.

We sound angry because you have a superior attitude, like you’re better than us. I find it so frustrating how you’re approaching this. And the USA has a huge impact in the region and the world, especially our countries, we’ll drag it in our arguments whenever it is necessary to.

Why do you two sound so angry now? Did I say Saudis didn’t try to help the US? No!! Did I say Albanians do not appreciate the US? No!!! Last time I look, I simply asked a question about how one Muslim country helped another Muslim country. If you don’t want to help me to find the answer, then don’t drag the US in your arguments.

Fact: Muslims in Kosovo were suffering from genocide and guess who came to their rescue? Americans. Why did they try to help? I do not know, but certainly not becase of oil.

Do you have any fucking idea how eternally grateful and appreciative Albanian Muslims are towards America for saving them? They are more pro-American than ANYONE ELSE IN EUROPE!

Saudi Arabia doesn’t care about aiding Somalia or any country in similar situations. I already stated that when I said it never donates similar amounts to disasters in South Asia or Iran. It only cares about its Godfather; the US of A, so I find it highly ironic when Americans bash Saudi for not doing much all the while praising how much America is apparently doing, when Saudi is the first to come to your rescue.
