Agreed. And most "anti-racists" are happy to deliberately ignore that the Muslim slave trade was 5X the African slave trade. Pretty much the only place in the world that, today, has open-air markets for chattel slavery is the Middle East.

I saw another commenter in this thread try to move the goalposts by including "Western human trafficking" as whataboutism to the open air slave markets today. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with that dumb nonargument, because that response was yet /another/ form of unfairly criticizing Western civilization, except human trafficking is a global problem rather than a problem specific to the West.
