    I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language

    President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators

    The U.N. human rights office said the comments, if confirmed, were “shocking and shameful” and “racist,”

    I’m not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump’s language, so long as it’s aimed at countries y’all dislike, and so long as it fits y’all’s agenda

      Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.

      I have never been to KSA so I’ll refuse to take a position on the nation but Trump is hardly the originator of that phrase. He’s just the classless idiot who used it on mic. If you are actually fluent in English it would be really weird to think this is “Trump’s language”

        “One of those things is not like the other; one of those things is just not the same”

        Russians are not a race. They are a nationality. There are many ethnic and racial groups in Russia. The anti-Russian sentiments are almost never anti-slavic/Turkic et al but are rather directed at the nation itself and the polity vs the sinophobia and antisemitism which tend to be at least partly aimed at the peoples.
