U.S president Donald Trump just interrupted an immigration meeting in the White House to tell a group of presumably surprised lawmakers that the United States was “having all these people from shithole countries come here.” referring to countries such as Haiti and El Salvador, as well as unspecified African nations. These comments have caused a worldwide controversy and have been considered as a true example of racism and discrimination by the international media.
People from these so-called ‘shithole countries’ are not having this s**t. They voiced their opinions by listing their competences and achievements in a series of tweets that have since gone viral, thanks to their inspirational and often hilariously biting comebacks.
The comments made by the U.S president are condemned by millions of people, launching these racist words towards those people who are, in any way, not less than others and dismissing them because of their origins are just non-sense and hateful thoughts that would be shocking to come from any president. The heartbreaking, and terrifying thing is that it’s not the least bit surprising coming from Donald Trump.
We’re glad that people could shut down these words in the best way possible. With their own qualities, values, capacity of overcoming adversity to rise from the ‘shithole’ and turn themselves into amazingly inspiring and successful people. Exactly the kind of people that made America great in the first place!
