Well this was a fun interaction. Calling people out for saying something racist, makes me the real racist, and a strawman-ing dictator lover, apparently.
Saying “this white man’s house remodelling looks like a brown man did it!” Isn’t the sick own you think it is…
I specifically picked each image from the 3 distinct places in the Arab world (alsham, alkhaleej and na). Lebanon is mired in sectarian problems fermented by the West keeping a leash on + combined with lib parliamentarianism, but despite all of this, they’ve got a humble minimalist taste in parliament/palace interior design :)
(ofc there are different examples in the country that aren’t necessarily minimalist, I just picked the first thing that came up on the search engine)
My guess is it’s sort of a reflection on the various sects that exist in the country, so no one sect overshadows the other, is what they were probably going for… Or maybe I’m just pulling that out of my ass.
