During slave revolts in America, slave owners said they're fighting sub humans

Native Americans fought back, colonizers said they're victims fighting savages

Apartheid South Africa said they're fighting terrorists

Israeli settlers say they're victims fighting human animals

Same evil, same motives, same excuses, different times

No, if white supremacy were the uniting factor, that would imply that non-white people would not demonize and mistreat their enemy. That is exactly why this tweet is misleading. Just look at what the Japanese did to the Chinese during WW1 and WW2. Declaring their enemy less than is a human, not a white trait
