England, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland hundreds of branches as well as from 
internet shopping in supermarket chain Argos can be considered as the number one address 
in that region showed the racist face with recently offered for sale as a doll prices. 
---- Designed for children older than 18 months, and exactly the same features toy white 
baby Mariam from baby 34.99 pounds selling, Asian Yang and offering black Namia of 24.99 
pounds for sale in Argos, The Sun, by agenda racism even in newspapers such as The 
Independent, hailed the reactions in social media . Calls for boycott and thousands of 
comments. Majority "How can you live in such a trauma for children? Outright racism! 
"While paying lip-service to the discomfort of the situation with comments like, some" not 
so much a matter of fanfare to do, I get that live stinking black baby from Africa that 
price! "Could say. Blacks and Asians were not western.

From past to present "Westerners and others" is mentioned; What a concept of just 
pointing direction, nor is meant terms of geography. Referential is a perception. Today, 
this perception is fed by Orientalism. Others according to the Orientalists, for the West, 
to be feared or means will be the master. Westerners and others mentioned, including 
absolute and systematic differences are discussed; different languages, different 
cultures, the coexistence of different life, rather than solidarity. In the non-Western 
cultures and values ​​are shaped by westerners. Because falsehood, -toy baby so he also 
values-such as in the example, is worth more than the others and value others. Real 
freedom belongs to the Western example; equality, the concept of justice west. Granted to 
this value by westerners others. Western man is more human than the others; West's dog is 
more noble. This is the emergence of western aspects and perceptions of others, the 
discovery of a continent and it can be associated with other enslaved brought to the 
continent.

Discovery of America and enslaved the Africans

Centuries ago, it was discovered a new continent. This new continent that is a favorite of 
traders and explorers, there was a mandatory guests. John first slave ship owned by an 
Englishman named Hawkins, 1562 year of entry into American waters. African Blacks were 
brought to America to run the farm with the slave ship. At that time, slavery was legal 
and legitimate in the eyes of the majority according to the master. Even whether they are 
black people was the subject of serious discussion. In this regard, the most moderate of 
the Western idea, African slaves were barbaric people need to be educated they were.

The intervening years have passed ... the slave trade, an increase of large sugar cane 
farms were concentrated in 1630, was concentrated in bad odor in the United States. Even 
as the ship approached, it became clear the bad smell from the nose to the land occupants. 
Because the owners of the ship, the black slaves of the hands and feet in order to load 
and ship more goods ranging as slaves were chained to each other sardines. One month 
slaves throughout the journey, fed soup with threaded bottom of the throat where they are 
them and they smelled bad because they top out. Probably, they smell bad lie of black; 
based on past this dirty truth. That already "good" is that all western-off "bad" smell is 
normal.

Black American life in the 20th Century

Centuries passed ... and where they sit in the bus, even if it was separate from white 
water fountains still drinks. It should not place a white to a black bus was written in 
the law, for example. In 1940, this discrimination was banned by law in America called 
racism. However, like other forms of discrimination, since that day, he continued to go to 
reconstruct the opportunity to think-west, was the land of opportunity.

In 1958, in Belgium, an African girl at the zoo "the missing link in evolution" could 
still exhibited. Because it is not Western, even if it was the mystery of being human is.

In November 2014, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI, said in a report. According 
to this report, two black America every week, by white cops "justifiable reasons" were 
killed. "You're right that can be considered grounds for" part, of course, was filling 
justify the massacre of state employees killer killer cops.

"Others" so-called, was not composed of black; There was also a kind of non-Western or 
which do not.

Non-western immigrants in the West

War, persecution and poverty, immigrants and refugees fleeing, chance to pass safely from 
the border is virtually impossible. In ab's Westerners, 2007 - 2013 between the boundary 
wire to improved advanced surveillance systems and border patrol vehicles to the money 
spent was about 2 billion euros in the same period taken to improve the situation of 
refugees and asylum seekers in the EU money is only 700 million euros.

Limit values ​​not given up wires and reach increasingly greater obstacles faced westward 
overland others, Greece and Italy to the sea, often try to pass through solid non-fishing 
boats. Every year hundreds of others die while trying to reach the west coast. Only the 
first six months of 2014, more than 200 of these immigrants, the Mediterranean and the 
Aegean Sea died; I also lost hundreds and possibly died.

There are those that can not very bright target states; in the West even if they are not 
Western. First, he is caught, thrown into makeshift camps often; to be sent to where they 
belong. West to be one of the others; It is dangerous to be black. Western racists, 
immigrants are a threat to their lives. Because it's cheap life are seen as malignant 
parasites in western culture well. Life is cheap, the boss also run almost free 
immigrants, many runs. Persecution by the state if they are endless.

Non-West "Others"

West unrelated batılılıkl remote live far away and close to the "others", civilization 
from the most distant "others" variety. Westerners attracts little attention; mystical, 
different habits, traditions, spices, there are dances. A little bit of fear; are required 
to be restrained. Peace should be brought to the people of this land as barren land of the 
civil war in Iraq, even if that means the cost of the murder of thousands of others ... 
Cheap are seen nor even see the west, the worthless.

Recently, there has been another example that proves this fact. 7 January 2015, Isidor 
members in France conducted by Algerian and two brothers resulted in the deaths of 12 
people in the massacre of Charlie Hebdo, are condemned by the whole world. Murdered for 12 
western, including the main news bulletins, hours of live broadcasts are made, which 
should be the case. Great acts, funerals, memorial are performed. Merkel from Davutoglu, 
until the leader of the Russian state power of the leaders of Egypt, even those shows up 
in the action. The operations of the killers captured, the whole world holding its breath 
live tracks.

Boko Haram in the same week, the slaughter of 2,000 people in Nigeria. This massacre 
remains consist of a subtitle in the same sentence the main news bulletin. Would not be 
required.

The purpose of these two events in sequence repeatedly, massacres between a hierarchical 
do not see major or one of the other; both even in the massacres carried out for similar 
reasons, it is the Western emphasis on those killed or caused by the gap between the size 
of the effect is from the others.

The death of others in the West are not normal; Barbarians are eating each other. 
Normally, if not normalized. So much so; "The death of one day ever in Syria", is seen as 
a valuable statistical data, lots of news made it dair.batıl of a child killed, all over 
the world also gündemleş; When children killed thousands of others will not be much on the 
agenda. States and the state of the Sengal of violent gangs like Isidor created for the 
sake of their rents, such as children murdered in Kobani'yi; For western orientalists, 
snot running barefoot on a cute boy carry the news value, in most photo news section.

From past to present "Westerners and others" is mentioned; What a concept of just 
pointing direction, nor is meant terms of geography. Referential is a perception. This 
perception that Western's superior numbers and better, to shut knows his limitations to 
others, quietly dying fall!
