    I am seeing it. I’m just not ignoring that there is in fact an interesting base for all this in order to focus on the part the racists without policy are using to push their agenda and that the liberals are ignoring cause it’s complicated and easier to focus on the racists attempt to use to belittle them without doing anything.

        I’m just not ignoring that over the course of 3 years the population increased by 30% from a specific demographic that are not permanent citizens. Being used as a labor force for companies that demanded new cheap labor.

        Again you are simplifying this down in the same conversation they are simply because it’s easier and more fun than the reality of what’s going in Ohio. Its rumors started to take advantage of a legitimate concern that doesn’t get simplified down to just people opening an ethnic cuisine restaurant because it’s a nice way to reduce down your opponents idiocracy.

        It just makes you willingly ignorant and dismissive and with an agenda like them.

          Again- I could not give less of a shit if people who are here legally go somewhere and get jobs. People who have a problem with that, need to get over it because that’s how America works.

          And it’s the same racist bullshit that has happened to immigrants over and over again- Irish, Italians, Jews… more recently Hmong and Somalis. And now it’s Haitians.

          They’re here legally. They are getting legitimate jobs. Get the fuck over it.

            Oh man and we wonder why the liberal arguments aren’t winning over struggling low class Americans in suburban towns.

            Yeah, I understand you don’t give a shit, that’s my point.
            You don’t even care to deal with the actual story and meat of an issue before hand waving it away and blaming racism that makes you feel superior while having done nothing not even think about the actual people involved.

            It makes you useless as even an empathetic ear which is bare minimum people usually want.

            You aren’t superior for this stance.

              I never called myself superior.

              I’m just not a racist.

              The people who have a problem with legal immigrants taking openly hiring jobs are also racists. You are correct that I do not have an empathic ear for racists. I do not tolerate racists.

                And there you go just putting emphasis on that. As if you can forceably simplify the issue to racism.

                Whatever. I called you out. Any further growth is on you.

                Good use of buzzwords there. Could hear the Trump in your brain. Best words.

                  Correct. I am putting emphasis on racism. Because it is racism. Insulting me will not make it less racism.

                  Also, “racism” is not a buzzword.
