        This might actually be funny if it weren't for the neo-Nazi Buddhists massacring Muslims in Burma. @TheOnionhttps://twitter.com/TheOnion/status/631553455421804545 …

        @TheOnion not funny. Obviously you've not followed news about Myanmar, Thailand, Rohingya, etc. Buddhist extremism is very real, not a joke.

        @TheOnion I usually appreciate your headlines but this is a tiresome & harmful stereotype. Google "Buddhist violence" and see what comes up.
