Why didn't you pick up on her point about crime? She said more migrants = less crime, but didn't stop to question what that implies. The subtext there is that the people already living in these communities, most of whom are Black, are the cause of the crime. It reduces systemic issues like poverty, policing, disinvestment, and decades of housing discrimination to an inherent flaw. That framing is racist. She is implying that the solution to crime isn't justice or resources, but demographic replacement. That's a dangerous narrative, whether she meant it that way or not.
You also could've hit her on liberal NIMBYism. White liberals love to preach about being pro-immigrant, pro-diversity and so on, but they make sure none of it touches *their* lives. They fight tooth and nail to keep affordable housing, shelters, and newcomers out of their neighborhoods.
Bro she wasn’t gaslighting you and she seems wanting to engage instead of trolling like most ppl who ask that question.
She was sealioning.
