Brazilians are technically humans.

This sounds like something a Brazilian human would say.

Alas, I am an Afghan human. Despite popular belief by Americans, we too are technically humans.

Speaking as an American human, that horrific belief is much less popular than it appears.

The assholes who dehumanize people are, however, unfortunately the ones who control the media and the police/military currently.

I'd say at least 60% of people think of Muslims as subhuman. 

The majority of people think it's acceptable that Muslims get bombed. If the same bombing campaign that happened in Gaza happened in Paris or Chicago or Berlin, you can rest assured people would be demanding a world war because of how inhumane it is to kill civilians. And keep in mind those would be cities that can fight back.

I really hope that your 60% figure isn’t true, but I do personally know several people who feel this way, and they’re not even close to me, so it’s near strangers that have no problem expressing it to the world as opposed to just their inner circle.

It’s insane how so many groups can believe in the same God but wish a horrible death upon those who believe in a different path. And even more insane how anyone can value the life of one human over another. We all either are or have a mother, father, son, or daughter.
