Double Standards

The definition of double standard is;
''a rule or principle which is unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups.''
So, lets see how the above relates to the real world.

Why is it when a Muslim is involved in Terrorism all Muslims are suspected of terrorism but when a White person is involved in serial killing not all White people are suspected of being serial killers?

Why is it when a Black Women is involved in a argument all Black Women are argumentative but when a White Women is she's just standing up for herself? 


Why is it Countries like China are readily called corrupt but Countries like the United States are free, for all and are democracies? 


Why is it when Western militaries go into the Middle East killing approximately 1 million civilians and destroying the infrastructure of the Country its called -- fighting to save the Country and not Terrorism? Yet when a handful of people on Paris's streets die its called a terrorist attack? Surely the 1 million people dead, thousands of orphans and heightened racial violence against Muslims in the west is a worldwide terrorist attack?


Why was the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris called  ''an attack on free speech'' but the regulation of the internet and banning of protests on the streets is not?
 

Why are certain people (guess!) who move overseas called ''expats'' but people from ''other'' backgrounds are immigrants? Why the difference in words? 


Why are White people called ''far right'' and ''conservatives'' while other groups are labelled radicalised, extremists, terrorists, thugs or militant?

Just look around and you'll see the double standards just like woody and buzz lightyear..
