Ya 100%. I guess we here on lemmy should be more discerning of the difference is all. It’s weird because I’m not trying to defend what the original commenter was saying (how google is somehow in the right because in one result they talk about religion and an other they talk about a nation, pure gibberish imo).
It’s also been kind of “taught” in society that being non-spanish brown = Muslim. Anecdotally, I caught myself calling my Christian Lebanese friend a Muslim when talking about her family. I corrected myself and she wasn’t offended but still, imperialist propoganda really did a number on our society.
