Ahhh I see this is a distinction I wasn’t aware of. I just remembered reading one of the publications saying he was a citizen, but it seems you’re correct.

In addition to ignorance, Khalil had legal citizenship which makes him a US citizen ☠️. So much for “we love immigrants as long as they’re legal”!

I think it’s a valid criticism that should be welcomed. You could make this argument for any company when they make a bad decision.

“Oh well you trusted this company blindly so why are you upset and criticizing this design choice you don’t agree with.”

I also am not convinced a criticism is less meaningful if it’s the minority opinion. Many such cases in the world where the minority opinion is proven to be better for the majority.
