I'm also north african (in case the arabic in my parent comment didn't give it away). Can you even be racist against your own broad ethnic group (by asking a member of it to not just paint large swathes of it as "vile and barbaric", no less)?

You know what? Don't answer that last question.

We self criticize a lot and honestly tons of moroccans (outside the Diaspora, which can be oddly more nationalistic than actual people living in Morocco) know and will be honest about the flaws of Morocco and Moroccans. But honestly even then I never see even the most cynical of us call Moroccans "vile". It's just odd and not really criticism.
