The local ponds are suspiciously bare of formerly ubiquitous Canadian Geese.

Thank you, Frankenvoter. Some folks feel like they are arbiters of Truth, Justice and the American Way. It's one the greatest hoaxes pulled on the stupid MSM and, well, Psycho Libtards, too. Look how angry they've been made. No one really gave a Flying Fluk nor understood the pain of a small city whose population went from 45,000 to nearly 60,000. Thank you for a cool-headed comment.

I will say though as in a meme I made, Ive heard on more than one occasion employers in the area are overjoyed with the Haitians, they show up everyday and do what is requested of them and all I can say to that is if Americans weren't so allergic to doing certain jobs, maybe there wouldn't be such a need for immigrants. Someone has to do the jobs Americans refuse to do.

Of course, how do you think they got there? Desantis and Abbot bused them?
They were specifically sent by request because they were low rung industry jobs that weren't being filled.

Ah, MAGA, you'd rather endanger school children in Ohio than stop spreading racist lies.

😄 "endanger school children".

The histrionics don't stop!

What is the racist lie being spread?

oh, you may not be aware, but the local schools have had bomb threats. You can read more about the threats here: https://apnews.com/article/springfield-ohio-haitian-immigrants-threats-key-details-7594bae869fb05dc6f106098409418cc

And there is a long long history of demonizing immigrants here in the States by claiming they eat dogs/cats/etc. You can read more about it here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/14/racist-history-trump-pet-eating-immigrant

I know you won't go to any of those links. I know you won't bother to learn something. But claiming that immigrants eat pets is a thing going back to the 1800s. Think of every "never eat at a Chinese restaurant next to a dog pound" joke you heard in the 80s.

In 1904 World's Fair in St Louis, organizers forced the Indigenous Igorot people from the Philippines to butcher and eat dogs for entertainment – an event that cemented the stereotype against Filipinos. By the late 80s, groups like Laoatians & Cambodians became “principally stereotyped as dog eaters”.

It's always immigrants eating cats & dogs. It's always a lie.

Links are lazy.

The threats came from overseas.

I asked what was the specific racist lie.

I did not ask what leftist article of your bias confirming choice I could read.

Because you don't read or update your understanding, you don't know that it was only some of the bomb threats that originated from outside the country.

Also, I gave you the answer to the specific racist lie. And then, because I know you don't read or update your understanding, I have you the historical context of immigrants being accused of eating pets in the US.

If you continue to believe that immigrants come to the US and eat pets is your garden variety racism.

For all of your self professed superior intellect and knowledge you obviously misunderstand the question.

Allow me to clarify in a way that addresses your difficulty grasping what I ask you;

Why is it is racist to believe, think, suspect, or know, that illegal immigrants eat animals?
1 up, 2mo,

It's not generic animals. It's dogs and cats, specifically family pets.

Are you a pet owner? Got cats or dogs? Pets are a part of the family. They're honorary humans. So, akin it's accusing someone of cannibalism. They're eating our family!

And if you're thinking,"That, in and of itself, isn't racist." However, the pet eating thing is always applied to immigrants that don't come from Europe. You know, non-white people.

Historically, it's been Asians of any kind. This time was the first time it was applied to a non-Asian immigrant group. It's always immigrants. It is always used to demonize them and turn them into the "other" group. Which makes it easier to enact racist laws to 'protect our families'.

That is your racist mind at work.

This is how YOU look at people that did not come from Europe.

By the way, you do realize Europe is home to many different ethnicities, you know, non white people, do you not?

Histrionically you may have touched on a historical fact, Asians (and people of other ethnicities that include Haitians in their own country) commonly consumed cats, dogs, horses, snakes, rats, bats, or various combinations of all.

There is nothing racist about saying Haitians are 🎶 eating the dogs, eating the cats, eating the pets of the people that live there🎶.

You will of course disagree and state anyone disseminating those words is a racist that should be cancelled by society.

1) Am I incorrect?

2) If someone said they saw me eating watermelon, are they, or their comment, racist?

3) What racist laws were enacted due to the fact that Asians ate dogs and cats?
