I know this is old news but since its being brought up again I'll make a point about it. I feel like the news media in the search for "headline grabbing" information miss the main issue with what he said. They know "Trump calls Haiti and African Countries S#!THOLES" is a much more attention grabbing headline and the real issue gets lost.
Its not the fact he called them shytholes that is the problem. Hell, I admit I've used the term. The problem is the what he said surrounding the comment and I get very frustrated seeing the news media continuously focusing on the wrong thing.
He said that these people like Nigerians (who have the highest high education attainment of all immigrant groups) come here from their shythole countries and don't go back to their mudhuts and why don't we get more immigrants from places like Norway.
Trump then suggested that the United States should instead bring more people from countries such as Norway, whose prime minister he met with Wednesday. The president, according to a White House official, also suggested he would be open to more immigrants from Asian countries because he felt that they help the United States economically
So despite the fact that the group he specifically pointed out from Africa, Nigerians, do contribute and do very well, he is thinking strictly along racial lines and not what they can contribute as far as who he wants to come to this country.
The "shythole" part is the least offensive part of what he said. But the news media fails once again to properly report on things. Not even going to go into the US interference in places like El Salvador and Haiti and how they directly contributed to their "shythole" status in the first place but he presents it as something inherent and genetic to the people.
