    White liberals love Buddhism because it allows them to pretend that they are above the fray and better than everyone else; it’s impossible for them to conceive of the fact that it was used as a tool of oppression under feudalism

    They're periodically huge fans of Hinduism and certain boutique flavors of Islam for the same reason.

      Guilty as charged here, as I am white and test-driving calling myself a cultural Muslim due to my admiration for Islamic culture and my lack of interest in committing to any of the more difficult aspects of Islam.
