When he complained, rightwingers sent him homophobic taunts online.
Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”
And again I’ll say, try to live among them yourself. The immigrant situation in USA is very different than in Europe, were the immigrants in USA actually do less crime than the americans themselves, were in Norway they do more than twice as much crime.
Besides that, their culture is simply incompatible with ours. It would be better if other arabic/turkic/islamic countries took them in. Why should they travel entire continents, to an entirely different culture, when a neighbouring country is a far better fit?
I’ll happily take in Ukrainian refugees, simply because we have a common dangerous neighbour (Russia), and their culture is more compatible with ours.
Sounds like Norway needs reforms more than these people need to stop coming.
What reforms exactly? It’s not like there hasn’t been attempts to integrate them. It’s just the way Islam works. Maybe we could treat Islam like it is, a dangerous cult, and criminalize it? But then we would violate their “freedom of religion”. There’s no easy solution other than closing the border.
With respect you don’t have an understanding of the immigration rhetoric in America. If you did, you’d know that the conservatives are echo the exact same arguments you’re making here.
Yes, broken people subject to war, poverty, and lack of education do tend to as a group be less stable. We all know that. That’s the toll of regional instability and a price the world must pay to the piper.
The vast, vast majority assimilate quite effectively.
