I know one white South African I'd like to see go back…

He's not welcome in Canada

daychilde@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 194d (11 replies)

Well, I assume we'd be sending him back to South Africa… lol

That said, let's send him to Russia. Or Antarctica. heh

What a monster you are. His dream is to colonize Mars, let's fulfill his wish! Strap him to one of his rockets and off he goes!

Yeah, let's Fry that sonofabitch. By which, of course, I mean make him the first man on Mars. Or attempt to. Either is good.

Have we considered a small flimsy sub deep in the ocean?

TITANic idea!

He loves space so much, let's send him to the sun.

daychilde@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 194d (2 replies)

It's actually extremely hard to send things to the sun. There's a huge amount of energy in our orbit around the sun that has to be overcome. :)

ibelieveinthehousehippo@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 194d (1 reply)

I think it would suffice to just launch in the general direction of the sun.

daychilde@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 194d

Only because he would orbit for a very long time and run out of oxygen, sure.

He supposedly has Canadian citizenship through his mother... Yuck

He can get a Hunka ovation in parliament

'I Don't Want to Live in a Place Like This'

According to trump these people are persecuted and discriminated against at levels requiring asylum.

Under the administration's own narrative they would rather be discriminated against and perscuted than live in trump's USA.

Let that sink in...either it is so bad here they would rather go back to the country they fled because it was so bad they had to flee or every single thing this administration says is complete and utter bullshit.

Neither of those options are good. Fucking shower of bastards.

It is clearly bullshit and the article actually says that it isn't even violence against them, but things like mass shootings.

Also at the end of the article:

Some returnees say the move is motivated by lifestyle factors rather than security. Naomi Saphire, who lived in the United States for two decades, moved back to South Africa's Western Cape last year. "My heart is just full of gratefulness to be here," she said, adding that her children spend more time outdoors and that health insurance is more affordable, according to Reuters.

They went thinking that they would profit for the privileges that structural racism give to white people without weighing in that the same racist structures affects then as immigrants.

Yeah you need much money to reach the protected class in the states.

The racism only gets you so far
