I think the ā€˜Haitians are eating house petsā€™ lie is racist. Idk if itā€™s abstract - we donā€™t have any evidence it happened, thereā€™s no obvious connection between missing pets & ā€œethnic minority population that lives nearbyā€ is there ambiguity here Iā€™m missing? This discussion does distract from policy debates. So are we meant to respond to ā€œHaitians are eating house petsā€ with policy questions? Would love to hear peopleā€™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 itā€™s not controversial to me! I do think repeating a made up story about Haitians eating pets is racist and Iā€™d like to discuss Trump & JD & Harris & Walzā€™s policies instead. But some ppl have reacted defensively about me calling it racism, so we donā€™t talk policy lol

Wait where is your evidence that isnā€™t not actually happening? Cause the only people who said it wasnā€™t was the ABC moderators. There are about 50 videos Iā€™ve seen of it happening. https://x.com/joshwhox/status/1833835045598970326?s=46

This video is of a woman from Canton (not Springfield) and she is not a Haitian immigrant. Also pled not guilty by reason of insanity.

Read through these links, could say plenty about each one but really my point is very simple and I donā€™t want it to get abstracted away (lol) There isnā€™t a single piece of evidence that ā€œHaitian refugees in Springfield, Ohio are killing and eating house petsā€ Itā€™s textbook racism imo

Not sure what this has to do with Springfield, Ohio or the specific claims being made. Did a deep dive into all the accounts peddling this last night. Saw some gross videos, some pictures, a bunch of man in the street interviews. zero evidence of people stealing and eating house pets. Not a single thing. Lots of the interviews with people *in springfield* referenceā€¦stories they saw online. Plenty of real issues going on there, and also lots of overt racism! ā€œRoachesā€ ā€œsand monkeysā€. Neo Nazis and KKK marches targeting the Haitian community. Shouldnā€™t be so hard to produce something tangible
