The only question that matters for countries is: where does loyalty lie?
Immigrants will always have mixed loyalty (human nature). I include myself. If you never lived abroad, if you are not of mixed origins: don’t tell people this is not real. That’s BS.
Den enorma rasismen i vårt samhälle gör mig helt bedrövad. Funderar mycket på hur vi bekämpar den på bästa sätt. Att bygga ett bra samhälle är såklart lösningen, men hur vänder vi de människor som känner ett sådant hat mot andra?
@gynaeceum It takes a special level of stupid and denial to hallucinate that the biggest problem is racism. When it is the patterns that we are recognising.
@EuroDale@levelsio The claim that looting illegal immigrants are basically disgruntled history students is such a stupid claim. No, they don’t have a profound ethical approach. They just want your stuff for free. That muppet should travel and meet some Africans & listen to them instead of lecture.
@BBCWorld Lol. Not really, no. And it isn’t “blame”, it is responsibility. You’re supposed to know the difference.
Some are clear and listen to the looters. And others are in denial and talk of… blame.
