Is this the greatest takedown of suburban white boy ennui... ever?

I don't see how anybody can read this book and not conclude that The Stranger (the literary world's Linkin Park) encourages racism and ethnic cleansing

Honestly Camus would be rolling in his grave. It's so pathetic to take a book from 80 years ago and rewrite it so give your race a positive perspective. God damn everyone in todays society is so obsessed with race.

You have to understand that we're talking about a group that is viewed as a prop in a moral play.

The Arabs being imported into Europe aren't even considered as human by the Liberals exhorting them to cross the Mediterranean; their thoughts and feelings aren't even considered, and why would they be? They don't have them, they're an object to be used to demonstrate the holiness and piety of European Liberals.

It's an incredible strain on their mental wellbeing to be raised in a culture that promotes them as the master race, god's perfect creation, the pinnacle of humanity, and suddenly be imported into another country that does things you can barely imagine effortlessly, and be looked at as lower than a dog; the sum total of your humanity being downgraded to a commodity so someone you'll never meet can pat themselves on the back.

The only thing these people HAVE is their race. Without it they are literally nothing.

I'm sure you consider Arabs to be human too, right anon? Not just savages from the south who deserve to be murdered at sight ruthlessly for daring to impinge on the sanctity of European blood?

This is concern trolling at its acme

even if the European population was shrunk down to a fraction (implausible unless something apocalyptic happens in the Middle East), they would still be economically supreme. It wouldn't be a good thing, as having that gross of a disproportion of refugees would transform the culture, but we're nowhere near that threshold to begin with. I just find it curious that you mention Liberals dehumanizing Arabs but mention little about the other side of the spectrum. That violation of Hanlon's Razor there is stunning; maybe they're accepting refugees because they genuinely believe it's benevolent, and not because they're mining for social brownie points. Some might be, I can't speak for everyone as humans are a hodgepodge of intertwining motivations, but excoriating them for belittling their humanity is a strange argument. Wouldn't keeping them out be adverse to enshrining that human essence in principle? After all, the conservative stance on their repulsion from European boundaries is theoretically Realpolitik. Their culture has a lot of aspects that are incompatible with ours, and to sieve those negative features would take generations (and that's with proper integration, because letting them fester in segregation with their kind only calcifies their values). So for security to take precedence is logical, but is it moral? Do morality and logic always overlap?

Riddle me this: if every single Arab who stepped into Europe were to spontaneously relinquish their religion, burn their Korans, deface the sanctity of their prophet, and vow to forever adhere to secular and liberal Western values, would you accept them?

wasnt me mentioning libs, i know that is concern trolling

im racist but i still respect other cultures, idk how to explain this but I genuinely like a lot about the Arab Muslim civilization, from the little I've studied it. I just dont want it here. Like I meet individual Arab guys and we get along fine, but then an entire neighborhood is arab and suddenly we have quite a lot of hostlity going on and I have to carry a knife around.

as to your hypothetical that simply couldn't happen, and even ethnic differences are enough to cause problems even with a common culture

This is a bit silly. Jean Rhys rewrote Jane Eyre with Wide Sargasso Sea, and its considered a masterpiece. Derek Walcott did the same thing to the Odyssey in Omeros and he won a Nobel Prize in literature. And the Aeneid, at its core, is Illiad fan-fiction to create a glorious mythology for the Romans. Its an old tradition.

It's not even a rewrite, it takes place in the same universe from the perspective of the Arab's brother after Mersault is put to death. Yes, the plot mirrors L'Etanger but only to show how the absurd is universal. It has nothing to do with one race being better (or even in the right, historically speaking).
