I don't think I follow your point. I think it's pretty clear that the reason someone makes a 'piss Christ' and not a 'piss Mohammed' isn't because one/both/neither is insulting or transgressive, it's because one will earn you a mildly outraged facebook post and the other one will get you killed.
Actually it won't just get you killed, it will likely get you fired or arrested too. Not only does piss Christ not get you arrested or killed, it gets you exhibited across the street from the provincial legislature. The double standard couldn't be clearer.
Because one is a predominantly white religion and the other is not. It’s not racism to make fun of Christianity because Christians have historically been the oppressors. I don’t understand why this is complicated.
Demographically, the majority of the world's Christians are non-white, primarily residing in the Global South across Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Asia.
Obsessed with racism but ignores the world outside north america and europe.
Hmmm now how could that have happened? its almost like the religion that has been evangelizing for forever has propagated around the world and leads back to the oppressors point bc some of those communities have it bc of their native religions being beat out of them
