I think the ‘Haitians are eating house pets’ lie is racist. Idk if it’s abstract - we don’t have any evidence it happened, there’s no obvious connection between missing pets & “ethnic minority population that lives nearby” is there ambiguity here I’m missing? This discussion does distract from policy debates. So are we meant to respond to “Haitians are eating house pets” with policy questions? Would love to hear people’s thoughts

yes, i think a perfectly reasonable and productive reaction would be: "hey, my read is that you're connecting this bad thing [pet eating] with immigration [haitian immigrants]. why don't we talk about immigration policy and dive into our respective views on it instead?" don't know why that's controversial

Yeah it’s not controversial to me! I do think repeating a made up story about Haitians eating pets is racist and I’d like to discuss Trump & JD & Harris & Walz’s policies instead. But some ppl have reacted defensively about me calling it racism, so we don’t talk policy lol

So the ABC moderators who have every reason to lie and did lie are right or the local community is right. Hmmm. https://x.com/culturewar2020/status/1833167941409345808?s=46

What did they lie about? Do we automatically take everything said at a community meeting as fact now? Also, the photo in that tweet is from Columbus 2 months ago, and there's nothing pointing to the person in the photo being a Haitian immigrant https://www.reddit.com/r/Columbus/comments/1eebh9o/things_you_see_while_driving_in_cbus/
