Poor Haiti is always getting shit on.
The best, most patriotic people I served with were two guys from Haiti.
Haiti had the nerve to actually fight back against their slavers and win their independence. Well you see all the slavers that controlled trade couldn't have those ideas catching on, so they blocked out and isolated Haiti from many trade deals. Haiti got fucked with paying France all the money France lost from the rebellion.
The 1791–1804 Haitian Revolution made Haiti the first sovereign state in the Caribbean, the second republic in the Americas, the first country in the Americas to officially abolish slavery, and the only country in history established by a slave revolt.
"It wouldn't happen if it weren't filled with black people!" - Republicans
They hate it because it was the place where the slaves rose up and overthrew the colonial government.
Honestly surprised Palestine isn't in there. The man hates those people.
Ah, but including Palestine means recognizing it as a sovereign nation. I believe Trump views Palestine as a region in rebellion against Israel.
True
Which is really weird when you realize they helped elect him.
More specifically all the American people who refused to vote for Harris because she wasn’t pro-Palestine enough for them did.
Sure, it was an absolutely stupid take as Trump is far, far worse for everyone, but there you go.
Palestine isn't a country, or you can bet it would have been on the list.
Palestine isn’t a country
Because the US keeps vetoing any UN recognition. It's considered a sovereign state in most of the world.
Whatever, still not a country.
What is a country to you?
Palestine,[i] officially the State of Palestine,[ii][g] is a country in West Asia. Recognized by 147 of the UN's 193 member states, it encompasses the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, collectively known as the occupied Palestinian territories, within the broader geographic and historical Palestine region.
Per Wikipedia. Emphasis mine.
ETA: the word "country", again, per Wikipedia
A country is a distinct part of the world, such as a state, nation, or other political entity. When referring to a specific polity, the term "country" may refer to a sovereign state, state with limited recognition, constituent country, or dependent territory.
The fuck did Laos and Chad do? Like I can kinda get the reasoning for the rest even if it's a fucking stupid thing to do regardless but aren't Laos and Chad relatively stable right now? Did I miss something?
My money is on him thinking Chad is a person.
"I hate that guy!”
It means lake and yeah I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that was a thing. Yeah know I'm bordline a NEET because I make interviewers nervous yet these fucken ghouls can be dumber than shit and control the fucken country, seems a bit unfair.
Also I make interviewers nervous because I don't blink enough and radiat Autism and PTSD, I hate that getting a job requires what amounts to a vibe check.
Why Iran? Like the stereotypical Iranian refugee is a doctor who wants rights
I've never encountered an Iranian refugee before, just normal expats.
It's largely queer people and feminists. The one that stuck with me was a lesbian atheist who was just ecstatic to be in the Midwest
