I agree that violence against minorities must be stopped. And this photo certainly would not incite overt violence. But it reinforces the us vs them mentality.

I think you are conflating your bitterness toward Reuters with a real struggle.

Real struggles focus on actual people who are suffering palpable harm. They do not start with acceptance of others who are different from us: they start with accepting that justice is unequally distributed in our world, and it is our duty to fight until there is equity.

I'm sorry, but your formulation of the fight for justice is an outdated liberal one. It doesn't work anymore.
