Cool. What's your point then? You could say that about any number of white supremacist statements. Doesn't really mean you have a point worth making or defending. If you had some stats or something with a source it would be worth posting just from a knowledge perspective but just saying "many people also think that" doesn't really have any value.
Why would the president of a nation which is only good because it's a melting pot talk shit about immigration?

No no. There's no need to report Diz. He's not derailing.
They aren't immigrants, they are refugees. The alternative for many of them is "death". I don't think he realizes that.
To add to that EU was also founded to be seen and act as "one country" worldwide. Sadly this doesn't work out so well so far because each state still has their own governments etc, I've been saying it since its inception, this will never work when states (countries) aren't willing to give up their regional and local governments in favor of something more centralized AND more democratic. Every law has to go through the people of this union, true democracy, anything else will never work and only lead to ruin and doom (see, ironically, the current state of the USA)It has a single external border. People usually are referring to the EU when they talk about "Europe" politically.
The frustrating thing about talking to other liberals on the Internet is that a lot of us act like pointing out that racism might be the reason a hugely significant amount of people feel a certain way about something magically nullifies those peoples' feelings. It doesn't. The ballot doesn't care why you tick a certain box.I need to have a point besides the "don't dodge this" message I've already stated? Twice?
This isn't a dog whistle, this is blatant xenophobia. Pure, open, unadulterated racism. He's not even trying to obfuscate this bullshit.That's one big dog whistle.
I'm amazed he could hold himself back from saying white people are being out breed or some shit.
Oh, he does, his apathy towards anybody but him knows no bounds.They aren't immigrants, they are refugees. The alternative for many of them is "death". I don't think he realizes that.
If Trump has taught me one thing, it's that doctors have been fucking lying to me my whole life.
You can be an obese, pill popping (for his hair), 4 hour of sleep a night getting, constant raging, 12 Diet Coke a day drinking, McDonald's every day eating mother fucking still so somehow not have your heart explode in your 70s.

Endlessly repeating "That's racist!" doesn't change things. I understand how you feel.
It's ironic that Trump thinks Europe isn't paying into NATO enough because it seems to me that them being the ones that have to deal with the fallout of decades of American military adventurism in the middle east is a pretty huge price to pay.They aren't immigrants, they are refugees.

Yeah :(This isn't a dog whistle, this is blatant xenophobia. Pure, open, unadulterated racism. He's not even trying to obfuscate this bullshit.
Yeah, sadly. Lots of racism everywhere in the world

Agreed, and I also don't get why European leaders don't tell him this with full clarity.It's ironic that Trump thinks Europe isn't paying into NATO enough because it seems to me that them being the ones that have to deal with the fallout of decades of American military adventurism in the middle east is a pretty huge price to pay.

You speak the truth.
Probably because them openly insinuating that immigration is a burden to Europe in any way would be controversial.Agreed, and I also don't get why European leaders don't tell him this with full clarity.
At least it doesn't seem like they would?
They really don't know how to handle him huh.
If I was in that position and Trump would ask me to pay 4% I'd say we're cutting it to 0.5% just to spite him, if he doesn't like it he can gtfo
This how you deal with mafia, isn't it?
Yep. We've arrived.
It's not even a whistle at this point.
Yeah. Demonizing rhetoric towards people living in red states is somewhat common on this website and is often pretty close to how some Europeans describe refugees: namely, that they're sexist, uneducated, and too religious.Is xenophobic vs rasicst arguing about semantics? I mean one can be both, but also just one or the other I think. For instance, there is a lot of anti-refugee sentiment in Finland (my home country) but it's not just towards "brown and black" people but also to white as fuck russians etc.
Lol, i actually super quickly edited my post before you replied because you're right, its not a whistle, its just direct.It's not even a whistle at this point.
I fucking hate this world. So, so much.
Genetics man. I've seen marathon runners die in their 20s and fucks like these live forever. It's all a fucking yahtzee cup.If Trump has taught me one thing, it's that doctors have been fucking lying to me my whole life.

The point is that Europe needs to get it's shit together as well. Countries are following the same sort of path and pretending it isn't happening or getting defensive about it isn't helping anyone.Cool. What's your point then?
