Those who scream the most about "racism" are actually the biggest racists.

And I don't even have in mind the clear prejudice they have against "white" people. They despise "blacks" as well.

I won't mention any revealing details, but I had a rather interesting discussion with someone over that story about Haitians in Springfield eating the cats and dogs (allegedly). I was told by this person that there are currently 20,000 of them in that city because they were people who "wanted to escape poverty", and so came to the USA after they were invited to (by none other than Donald Trump, apparently).
Anyway, I pointed out to him that those migrants could easily have just moved across the border to the Dominican Republic if that was the case, but he replied with something along the lines of, "If you had to choose between a rich country like Switzerland, or a poor one like Somalia, which would you go for?"

Well...
He clearly didn't know that the Dominican Republic, in spite of the fact that it's in the Caribbean and is predominantly "black", is doing really well right now. It's prosperous, even by global standards, and especially by the standards of the other nations within that region (like socialist Venezuela).

So he was basically implying that the Dominican Republic just had to be poor, because it was A) in the Caribbean, and B) largely black. Why else would he have compared it to Somalia, a nation that really is dirt poor? Somalia is in Africa, and they have their own special problems to deal with (like rampant corruption and war), but the Caribbean isn't like that. It's a stereotype, held by Western, university "educated" white Californians, that the region is hopeless and needs our "help".

That's a rather patronising attitude to have, don't you think? 🤨

The economy grew by 2.5 percent in 2003, and growth of 5.1 percent is expected for 2024, driven by the delayed effects of monetary policy easing and an increase in public investment.

Nope, not what I said. I said that America has a higher living standard than the Dominican Republic, which is why the Haitians accepted the offer they were given, rather than move to a country with a lower living standard, not to mention work was guaranteed to them in Springfield, whereas they might not have been able to find jobs in the DR.

You white guilt snowflakes, always trying to find racism where there is none. 🙄

@Peaceandnamaste I regularly do.

Oh, great. @BohemianBabe is getting out the pointy hood again.

@LordShadowfire it's no coincidence that klan hats resemble dunce caps.
And where is the left on this? The entitlements that make equality possible are missing in our society. Where are the socialists?

@BohemianBabe True, they are always seeking improvements and efficiencies. But raising the minimum wage motivates them to introduce automation at a faster rate and the higher wages paid to employees raises the equilibrium to invest in new technology that would not be profitable if it was paying employees a lower wage.
@DallasCowboysFan There's no evidence of that. If that were true, then areas with higher minimum wages would be more likely to have automation. Instead, what we see is that corporations use automation the second they're able to, regardless of wage laws. Maybe outsourcing would have continued under Trump, but it wouldn't have increased so drastically.

@BohemianBabe Today's economy is not local, it's international. But the U.S. and the EU have some the highest wages and benefits in the world. They have to save money were they can because the major corporations are competing against China, and other developing nations that provide workers working at 1/10 - 1/4 of the money in the U.S. And the environmental restrictions are much higher here, whereas they may be nonexistent in other nations. If companies do not upgrade to stay competitive, they won't stay in business.

There are many Haitians in DR
There’s also lot of poverty in DR. They’re few decades away from being an advanced nation (assuming their economy continues to expand)
correct..
they are magical at bringing racism into every subject...

@Bel6EQUJ5 Now we know the problem, you're trying to use logic.

@BohemianBabe Yeah, there isn’t a lie that trump won’t spread in service to his ego. Doesn’t care who he harms.

Can I ask why you keep bringing up Haitian eating pets in Springfield when it isn’t correct?
DallasCowboysFan · 61-69, M
@Bel6EQUJ5 They were eating ducks from the public pond. That counts as a pet.
@DallasCowboysFan The ducks too? 😳
Those savages!

@Bel6EQUJ5 And yet none of it's been proven, and the woman who claimed her cat was eaten by her neighbor later found the cat in her basement. This is what happens when you don't fact check this stuff. You end up looking like an even bigger racist.
