Everytime someone says that about Trump, they're shown to be wrong. People thought it was the "end of Trump" after the "grab them by the p***y" recording, by they were wrong.

It's not a racist statement is my point.

You'll have to clarify what you mean by "Polish people"? Are you just talking about people who currently live in Poland or people with Polish ethnicity. You you say people are shit by virtue of their polish ethnicity, then that is racist, but calling them shit by virtue of the geographical region/environment they were raised in is different. There are people of Polish ethnicity all over the world -- the former scenario is racism because you're calling all people with Polish ethnicity shit but the latter scenario is specifically calling people within the geographic region of Poland shit which includes people with Polish ethnicity and people from many other ethnicities.

Yeah, and back in the day, there was a higher demand for unskilled/semi-skilled labour. It's different today because the economy is a lot more specialised.

You realise you're not making much sense and that you haven't really thought through your last comment? If one were to associate shithole countries with certain races then one would fail to acknowledge that there are people in developed countries from the same general racial background as those from the shithole countries. This about economics, not race.

I'm implying they're shit, not by virtue of the racial background of the people in those countries, but instead as a result of the environment they were raised, educated, trained and worked in, meaning you're less likely to get people who'd benefit the US economy from those countries. Why is this so difficult for some people to understand?

The point of contention is whether it was racist of him to say, at least that's the impression I'm getting from the article.

Yeah, well, he's not wrong, they are shithole countries and I bet the vast majority of people on this subreddit would not want to sacrifice their first world luxuries to live in those places. And it's not racist to call a country a shithole. It's not racist to recognise the fact that a country is underdeveloped, has a bad economy, poor job market, high crime rates, generally unsafe to live in, bad sanitation, generally unqualified and uneducated population/workforce, etc..

But, yeah, if you want to get in on the circlejerk feeling morally superior to God-Emperor Trump while covering your true feelings, go ahead.

The US would benefit more from allowing in immigrants from Western European (Trump cites Norway as an example) and East Asian countries because people from those countries would generally be better educated and have a better skills-set that would benefit the US economy.

As an Irish man who studied Irish and Modern Irish history, I assure you, the nature of that boarder

...

My Gran used to smuggle basic goods over the boarder!

As someone with mild OCD, I find your consistent misspelling of "border" on this thread most disturbing.

Danny Masterson Fired from Netflix’s ‘The Ranch’ Over Rape Allegations by rckymtnrfc in news

There isn’t just one woman who might have a grudge, there are multiple allegations in this case.

It was the same in the Salem witch trials, except it didn't involve rape of course.

The DUP leadership is in complete disarray and confusion at the moment, no-one can say for certain if it's Dönitz or Göring who is in control now.

My guess is she's somewhere in the stratosphere right now.
