Re: Shithole Countries
One of my favorite bits in this whole escapade is that basically no one saw the headline "Trump decries immigrants from 'shithole countries' coming to US" and thought, "There is no way Trump said that out loud, that would be a ridiculous statement for President". What a time to be alive.

nope, plenty of people thought it was click-bait...just because you believe everything in bold font that you read does not mean that everyone else does.
Maybe try living instead of just being alive this time.

I can understand why someone may call a country a shit-hole country. Many countries do have many problems. The real problem here is Trump's connection that the people immigrating from these countries are shit-hole people, and his only examples are countries made up of mostly black people. Certainly it will keep people like majax supporting him.

I mean, there's no denying why Trump said what he said about 'black' countries. But, let's be honest here, Haiti is the dog crap tiest of crap hole countries in the western hemisphere. What a shame since it's beautifully situated and could be a great tourist destination. I have no idea what can be done for Haiti. It'll never get better.

agreed that a missionary's view probably puts the country in a worse light but I don't think a tourist view of the country is accurate either, or even an expatriate who just lived in the few wealthier areas.
Holy heyzuess - I have never really wondered about the answer to the question: "What happens when put an ignorant white-supremacist who has never left the US in a room with a mentally challenged mouth breather who has never left his mothers basement?"
Answer: They jerk each other off and create a vortex of stupidity and vacuousness well beyond what either of them are capable on their own.
Hey, ajax, you racist twat, what other countries have you visited and which ones do you consider "____holes"? Please tell me your views on other countries are not solely informed by right wing rags and racist message boards...

Well. It'd be nice if France reignited their interest in Haiti. They could use some oversight.

Haiti may have problems, but lets be honest, Trump's comments suggest he is a racist, and has incorrect raciest ideas about black people.

Re: Shithole Countries
Haiti's problems are a primary consequence of Western exploitation, so it's odd to argue Haitians are the people to stay away from. If you're drawing racial lessons from that, it would be to not deal with Europeans.
