When they see immigrant thugs looting and trashing cities, social media commentators sometimes mock the rioters as young professionals, doctors, architects, etc. It is intended as an irony-laden riposte to fatuous left-wing arguments that diversity makes the West stronger and mass immigration from alien cultures brings talent that grows the economy.
A similar barb, specifically about the young men rioting in French cities last weekend, asks in a tone of mock perplexity why students protesting school conditions are waving Palestinian flags, invoking Allah, calling for murder, ransacking luxury stores, and burning historic buildings to ashes.
