A left-wing outlet says that immigrant sexual assaults are a good thing
AFRU argues that sexual assaults will lead to the end of racism—if they’re against white women who then embrace the romance of the thing.

I thought I was watching a hoax come to life when I saw the tweets show up on my X feed. Conservative commentators were sharing an image. At the top was a large black-and-white photograph of an endless line of African and Middle Eastern men (and one lone woman). The setting, clearly, is Europe. At the bottom left of the photograph, in a little yellow button, is the word “love.” And underneath is this headline: “Why a ‘rise in sexual assaults’ by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism.”
I mean, you can see why I thought it was a hoax. Who in their right mind would advocate for increased sexual assaults by migrants? After all, day in and day out, American and European news outlets (especially European ones) have stories of these migrants sexually assaulting everyone from babies to old women, assaults that often ended in murder. Here are just some recent examples from America, all of which are names you’ll recognize:
- Laken Riley
- Rachel Morin
- Kayla Hamilton
- Jocelyn Nungaray
Europe has the same problem, which is aided and abetted by officials:
- “Foreigners now commit nearly half of all rapes in Austria, Syrians largest foreign group of suspects”
- “Germany: After girl gang raped, Berlin youth center accused of cover-up because they did not want suspects to be labeled as ‘typical Muslims’”
- “Moroccan asylum seeker arrested for brutal assault and attempted rape of 19-year-old Dutch woman in Rotterdam, mayor describes ‘terrible crime’”
- “Italy: Pakistani migrant sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison for attempted rape of 13-year-old boy”
- “France: African migrant arrested after rape of French woman out for a jog in Lille, caught days later while trying to rape second woman”
And of course, England had the child exploitation scandal. In 2013, the British people learned that, starting in the 1980s and continuing for decades, Pakistani gangs were systematically trafficking thousands of British girls in the most brutal ways imaginable, while the authorities looked the other way, for fear of offending the Muslim population.
I don’t know about you, but that’s not making me feel the love for Third World immigrants—especially cultures that don’t think rape is wrong. But that’s not the thinking at AFRU, a site that describes itself this way:
Shalawam! 👋 AFRU is a Black-led and Black-owned startup that combines art and fashion with lifestyle commentary to create a strong social justice brand that is relevant to folks from all walks of life.
We believe in the power of art to spark meaningful conversations, as well as the other way around. We also realize that people don’t want to be preached to all the time. That’s why our imprint magazine stitches together light everyday topics with navigation of more difficult intersectional spaces — all while allowing for the kind of messiness that is part of human nature. Our visual and intellectual branding therefore nurture each other in an perpetual spiral of trendsetting justice.
Well, it’s definitely “nurturing” something when it publishes an essay entitled “Why a ‘rise in sexual assaults’ by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism.”
According to the essay, which the entire AFRU staff came together to write, all these sexual assaults are just an unfortunate combination of “language gaps and cultural misunderstandings” that end up with “the first romantic encounter between a Western woman and a refugee” being perceived (presumably by the refugee) as “quasi-consensual in nature.”
Let me interject here that, for decades, the left, via its feminist branch, has been telling us that consent must be so explicit that the man should ask the woman every step of the way. May I touch your arm? May I hug you? May I kiss you? May I remove your shirt/shoes/pants? May I insert Plug A into Slot A or, if I’m into kink, into Slot B? Anything short of that is rape.
Now, though, we’re being told that if an immigrant from a rape culture decides that grabbing a woman, ripping off her clothes, and doing vile things to her body is “romantic,” it’s also “quasi-consensual” and, therefore all good.
But there’s a bright side to these “quasi-consensual,” perhaps violent encounters: “But increasingly these encounters result in a shared apartment, a mixed-race child, a new surname, and a happy future.” And who do we have to thank for this? White women who aren’t just “engaging in fetishism or exoticism.” Instead, by accepting these assaults, they are trailblazing a path to the end of racism. (Apparently, black women or other minority women have no such obligation.)
From there, the essay slips into saying it’s a good thing when white European women bring refugees home to mommy. And while they can help these refugees navigate their new land, they, too, learn wonderful things:
These women often introduce their partners to informal but essential codes: how to navigate bureaucracy, what behaviors signal trustworthiness, how to perform integration in a society obsessed with appearances. At the same time, they absorb the refugee’s worldview, witnessing firsthand how Western institutions often fail the very people they claim to welcome.
The essay continues in this blah-blah vein, arguing that all these brave white women are a rebuttal to evil right-wingers who keep harping on the immigrants’ propensity to rape women.
And that’s pretty much where the essay ends. What’s so weird about it is the framing. If you want to say that women civilize men, as they always have, and that white women are doing this for refugees with whom they fall in love, say it. But for AFRU to insist that sexual assault against white women is the pathway to love and social integration is, quite simply, obscene. It’s a whole new level of racism and misogyny that deserves to be called out.
