Comment on Residents in Democratic stronghold fuming as migrant mega shelter causes explosion of gang-related crime

• criitz@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Many of the people who actually live there support the immigrants, and simply want increased investment and better management of these facilities

  “Let me clarify, we are not against immigrants,” Clinton Hill resident Jorge Santos, 61, said during a rally in June. “We welcome them, but we do need better communication from the representatives.”

  “We are one human race,” Mary Chang, 74, said when she took the microphone, demanding better conditions for the asylum seekers in the shelter. “They have told us that it is like a prison.”

  Chang is a first generation American and has lived in the district all of her life. She told Documented what she wishes for is better living conditions for the residents and has always been fighting for migrants.

  And I’d love to have a chat with them. Bet most don’t actually think the immigrants are as evil as the article propagandizes.

    How do you know it is propaganda? What evidence do you have that you think immigrants are lovely people? Why do you think that? Is anybody evil in your world view?

      Propaganda: The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.

      The supposed “fact” that immigrants are evil can be considered a doctrine while the article is the systematic propagation of said doctrine.

      Is anybody evil in your world view?

      Yes, racist cunts

        So only white people can be racist? There goes the exposed mental Marxism.

      You seem to have a problem of generalizing all immigrants as if they came from the same background.

      Jesus Christ, the unawareness and irony.

  Well, let me tell you what I see on the news every day, gang members with chili bowl haircuts, 14 years old killing other 14-year-olds. Where are their parents? The chili bowl haircut I am talking about, is called the “Edgar”, comes from Central America. In Central America, too, 14-year-olds kill other 14-year-olds.

    Classifying a person based on a haircut is just lazy racism.

    However, their children are not as grateful, don’t appreciate the vast differences that make a developed country better than the place their parents escaped from.

    Calling bullshit on this too. If you believe that, you don’t know many immigrants. If you do know a lot of immigrants, you would have to personally know their entire families.

    It sounds to me that you are just regurgitating opinion news. So much so, you actually believe it to be true. The one or two instances that you have seen the behaviors you described just kicked the confirmation bias into overdrive. Also, because of your glaring biases, you are likey to only remember instances of crime committed by a specific race.

    That’s hilarious that you’re scared of a shitty haircut. That’s also called a ‘bowl’ and was popular in the US in the 70s and 80s.

      It is to prove a point. It is culture. My point exactly.

        I can’t tell what that is supposed to mean at all.
