Thomas Pierret: This morning in Aleppo, as everyday since 5 months, barrel bombs killed dozen of ordinary Syrians whom some minorities-obsessed Westerners obviously consider as sub-humans. Lets be clear: expressing concerns for minorities as minorities is legitimate when these minorities are the most vulnerable groups in a society; but when they in fact provide a minuscule share of the civilian casualties in a conflict, as is currently the case in Syria, such concerns amount to sheer racism. To put it even more clearly: whoever cares more for an Armenian from Kassab than for a Sunni from eastern Aleppo is a racist. I personally care evenly for any innocent civilian killed in this war.
