the problem is injecting race. dirt, shithole and citizenry aren't racially charged words. so who charged shithole here? the usual lefty suspects, op, bunk, ect....and the 96% of journalists that donated to hillary it seems.The problem is not saying a piece of dirt is a shithole, the problem is implicating its citizenry as part or all the reason given piece of dirt is a shithole. There are places that could be described as shitholes as a stand alone statement. The key difference here is Mr. Trump is very clearly implying that he doesn't want people from these places he believes to be shitholes (including an entire continent) because there is an obvious implication that the people from there are part of it being a shithole. I wouldn't agree with him but if he wanted no one from anywhere, it would be wrong but not as vengeful of this was. Because Africans should be barred but Normegians are great to come over. Well whats different about a Normegian than an African? If a Normegian and an African are completely equal persons-then why would we not want someone from Africa but are okay with someone from Normay? His statement clearly implies that the people themselves from those countries are part of the "shitholiness" of those countries... Context in almost any statement means more than the individual worlds themselves.
same people who look to Norway, the rest of Scandinavia and Europe as model examples of what america should be economically and socially.
that's not the slightest bit ironic to you?
