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

Wait where is your evidence that isn’t not actually happening? Cause the only people who said it wasn’t was the ABC moderators. There are about 50 videos I’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 don’t want it to get abstracted away (lol) There isn’t a single piece of evidence that “Haitian refugees in Springfield, Ohio are killing and eating house pets” It’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* reference…stories they saw online. Plenty of real issues going on there, and also lots of overt racism! “Roaches” “sand monkeys”. Neo Nazis and KKK marches targeting the Haitian community. Shouldn’t be so hard to produce something tangible
