Yay! What will save the Philippines from invasion are:

• Predominantly Christian (athough it's Catholicism; may not play well in the Jack Chick-reading states)
• Location of the Asian FedEx hub
• Can can yell "don't shoot" in the correct language since it has the third largest English-speaking population in the world

Afghanistan arguably belongs in the lower left, too, as well as some of the central Asian republics that we've cooperated with (though I guess you could make a case that the Taliban's Pashtun supporters tended to be slightly darker than the Tajiks and others in the north, but on the other hand Hamid Karzai is a Pashtun too).

Also, last I checked, the Philippine government was on our side, though I guess it counts if you label every involvement of US troops as an invasion.

Also, I'd be surprised if we bombed India, or South Africa, or...

The selective nature of the chart reminds me of Marc Herold's claim in his infamous paper that the US only attacks non-white countries. He explicitly excluded World War II, quietly omitted World War I, and argued bizarrely that Serbia counted because they were symbolically dark-skinned by virtue of being ex-Communists.

Sure, there have been racist motivations involved in some of America's military adventures, and at times the government has encouraged wildly racist war propaganda where applicable. But it's hard to characterize absolutely everything the US does as racially motivated without engaging in circular arguments.

Only problem - he forgot countries like Belarus, Albania, and Bulgaria for his lower-left quadrant.
