I know that President Trump has said he wants more immigrants from Norway. I also understand that your economy, healthcare and education services are better than ours, so I'm not sure [b]why[/b] anyone from there would ever want to emigrate here. 馃

@bijouxbroussard They've had universal healthcare since 1912. 1912.
Their economy is super left-wing compared to ours, and they are very secular and progressive. So why does Trump want them here? They're whiter than white. So it's almost like a reverse racism, in which he stereotypes super pale people as being his allies when they aren't necessarily going to be.
@33person Nothing reverse about it. Trump's a straight up racist, and he assumes because Norway's mostly white they think the way [b]he[/b] does.

@bijouxbroussard The only reverse thing about it is that he's making an inaccurate and objectively negative stereotype about white people around the world based on white U.S. Republicans this time. Btw, I never said Norwegians aren't racist. I think Norway is probably a good place to find secular progressives who are racist.
@33person Possible. I have a friend who lives in Norway. Father's Norwegian, mother's black. She's had fewer problems there than when she's come to visit her mother's relatives here.

@bijouxbroussard Oh, what a lack of corruption in the government can do!
