Maybe because Trump once said he'd welcome Norwegian immigrants. When lawmakers presented to President Trump on Thursday the idea of restoring protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African nations as part of a bipartisan immigration bill, the president reportedly replied: “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” According to The Washington Post, based on two people briefed on the president’s meeting with lawmakers, the president then suggested the U.S. should admit more immigrants from places like Norway.

You can't get much whiter than Scandinavians. And generally speaking, folks from those "shithole" countries are people of color. Trump's remarks were racist, period.
Would you or anyone not rather have White Norwegian immigrants
Who are More intelligent & from a decent 1st world country
Than low IQ people who are not suited to the American / white western way of life
And are far more likely to not fit in & be problematic.
Why would anyone want their country to go downhill / backwards ?
No Donald may not Be Politically Correct in What He says - But He was saying the truth.
Fuck racism- Sometimes The Truth Hurts.

Trump drops Mexico tariff threat after deal on migrants
BY TAL AXELROD - 06/07/19
President Trump announced Friday evening that the White House would indefinitely postpone tariffs against Mexico after he said Mexico City agreed to take more stringent steps to curb illegal border crossings.
“I am pleased to inform you that The United States of America has reached a signed agreement with Mexico. The Tariffs scheduled to be implemented by the U.S. on Monday, against Mexico, are hereby indefinitely suspended,” Trump tweeted.
“Mexico, in turn, has agreed to take strong measures to…stem the tide of Migration through Mexico, and to our Southern Border. This is being done to greatly reduce, or eliminate, Illegal Immigration coming from Mexico and into the United States.”
Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed on Twitter that a deal had been reached to avert tariffs that were scheduled to take effect on Monday.
Mexican officials have been in Washington this week seeking to persuade the administration to hold off on tariffs after Trump threatened to impose a 5 percent tariff on all goods imported from Mexico unless the country worked to stem the flow of migrants to the U.S.
Trump had said earlier Friday that there was a "good chance" the U.S. and Mexico could reach an agreement to avert the tariffs, but warned that they would go into effect as planned on Monday if both sides could not reach a deal.
“If we are able to make the deal with Mexico, & there is a good chance that we will, they will begin purchasing Farm & Agricultural products at very high levels, starting immediately. If we are unable to make the deal, Mexico will begin paying Tariffs at the 5% level on Monday!” he tweeted earlier in the day.

Another huge win!

Even the Republican senate didn't think he could do it. I wish he would have left the 5% on them, that way they would be paying for the wall.

Truly a liberal self-hate extravaganza here.
Maybe it's because the average demographics of that country would improve ours? Is that what we call racist? Self interest?

You say Racist - I say his Comments were Truth
Why would you want immigrants from them Countries instead of from Norway a far more
Civilised and peaceful country- the odd Nut case notwithstanding.
Given a choice here in the U.K. I’d much prefer like 100x more to Have immigrants
From white Scandinavian country’s Than the Islamic Muzzie Crap we’re Getting now.
I really don’t follow how you could possibly think differently.

I'm not white, and I am originally from one of those countries. I still don't see how this is racist. It's simply, and sadly, the truth. You and your kind (Old, wealthy, liberal, self-hating, white males) go through mental acrobatics to label "racist" anything and everything Trump says or does.

Sir that’s very honest & Decent of you to say so
More so as you come from one of the countries mentioned.
You are completely correct in what you say - it’s Not Racist it’s Truth.

You are partially correct. I am old, more liberal than conservative, white and male. I am neither wealthy nor am I self-hating.
Before you determine what is racist and what isn't, check the definition of the word. The truth is, almost everyone expresses racism at one time or another, even liberal me. ;)

Okay. So now you are admitting to being a racist, old, white male. If you truly believe that Trump is a racist, then wouldn't that make him your equal? So what's your problem with him then?

Quite clearly some races are superior in many ways to others

Not really. Race has nothing to do with intellectual superiority (assuming that's the kind of superiority you're talking about). A person's environment, parents, upbringing, etc. are predictors.
Plus, as I've said many times, race-based statistics are unreliable given hundreds of years of race mixing in the U.S.

Yes Really
Some Asians are extremely intelligent as a group
Whites tend to produce the Geniuses
Many Black African countries have under 75 IQ
The World is Much Bigger Than Just The USA.

In large part agreed.
I know several dumbasses of all races and cultures and also several highly intelligent people of all races. Sadly, there are several highly educated people who are incredible idiots. Just look at AOC - educated, but a total moron and not intelligent.

Which Asians? Japanese? Filipinos? Vietnamese?

Which blacks? From the Caribbean? Mixed race? All income and education levels?
You don't have to answer (because you can't), but this is really an archaic and unsupportable.

Let Me 1st Say I Like you Dos you generally speak sense.

When I can be bothered as you’re oh so butt hurt I’ll re find the link for you.
And No I didn’t post every country on the list ::)
I thought you could read better - Hong Konk / South Korea / Singapore are right there on the list. ::)
Also Nigeria/ Sudan / Somali / Uganda are on the list oh & Jamaica - Look 👀 are they not Black Countries?
And No I don’t know their ages / If They males or Females or a Gender Neutral Day
Or their shoe sizes / how many teeth they have or Names & Addresses For you to go check
Every single individual to see if they Fit Your Criteria.
There’s plenty of studies out there on IQ for you to go question & make sure they fit exactly your
Parameters - I Do Hope you’re as Keen & Demanding when it comes to any other information
Or Statistics you Post. Are You. ?
As I’ve seen plenty of your quotes & posts.
Please ensure they Fit your above quoted specifications to Me
As that would be Very Hypocritical of you if you can’t answer
Them when I Ask You.

Like I indicated, I know you cannot answer the questions I asked. But my questions should at least get you to think.
I've been all over the country and around the world interacting with people of all different backgrounds. I've spent a lot of time doing volunteer work with elementary schools kids in poor neighborhoods. What I have experienced is exactly what Princess said earlier: there are some very smart and very dumb people from all ethnic backgrounds. And the biggest predictors are their upbringing and socioeconomic status, not their ethnic background.
Your IQ stats are meaningless. They don't allow you to meet a random Japanese person and assume they are smart or meet an random Somali and assume they are dumb. Intelligence varies widely among members of all races.
IQ tests don't tell you how intelligent a person is or is not. Intelligence is far more than answering some questions on a test. It includes analytical ability, common sense, emotional control/intelligence, etc.
And the thing that really blows up race-based tests or statistics of any kind is the fact being have been intermarrying for a long time.

Eat Crap & Admit you were wrong. Now you Sing his Praises.
You’re experience tells you one thing & Mine & Many others Tells Me Different.
Be very Careful what you post / quote as you’re own criteria will be applied
As to age group / sex / wealth / education/ Background & I expect You to
Be able to Answer or it’s worthless you posting it.

I never compared my life experience with yours. I simply talked about my own experience with people, which is pretty extensive. I have no idea, nor do I care, what your life experience is. But at least you did address one of the points I made: "No Doubt £ / background / education have a big impact & so does Intelligence/ aptitude." Good. That is progress. :)
I didn't say anything about one country being more advanced than any other. We are talking about ethnic-based IQ. Like I said, they are meaningless statistics. They do not account for any the things I previously mentioned.
Also, what is the purpose? Are you going to make public policy based on IQ tests given to random people? Are you going to form opinions about entire ethnic groups and treat them differently?
One of the questions I posed that you cannot answer is race mixing. For example, what is Obama's race? Is he black or white? And if he takes an IQ test, what category do we place him under?
I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton. I voted for the space cadet Gary Johnson. And there is nothing wrong with admitting a mistake. I do it whenever I'm wrong. Just like an emotionally intelligent person would admit when they were wrong about making broad assumptions about ethnic-based IQ tests. :)

Carry on as I said - You’re own standards will be used on all you’re future quotes & articles you post
So I do hope they meet you’re own standards & you can Answer your own questions when posed to you.
No you didn’t directly compare you’re life experiences with mine - Though I The context of the exchange
Of Messages it came across as Condescending & pompous to Me.
As for Obuma does he not class himself as black - Many Many did & do - Personally I’d say he’s
A half Cast though more black than white. His genetic make would indicate what he is & place him in that group.
Oh and how do they often form public policy ? Often by either observing and or questioning random people
And sometimes it works well & sometimes not so well.
They don’t believe they often go into the nitty gritty of age / race / sex / wealth / ethnicity/ education etc., it’s done on a broad basis - so that’s also wrong in your opinion is it.
So good to hear you didn’t vote for Killary.
We all make broad generalisation at times rightly or wrongly
Very clearly we are not going to agree or change each other’s minds / opinions.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree.

What standards are you talking about? All I did was ask questions that show how inherently unreliable race-based statistics can be, particularly as they relate to IQ.
I always say it's hard to read tone in writing. If you ever talked to me in person you'd know I'm neither pompous nor condescending. I'm actually one of the humblest persons you will meet. But I do know that very often when people have long-held beliefs challenged that they take it personally, regardless of the other person's tone. None of this is personal for me. I try not to insult anyone on the board. Except for the Village Idiot. She earned it. ;D
Can you see how problematic it is to talk about mixed race people in this context? So Obama is black because he self-identifies as black?? How is that different from a transgendered man self-identifying as a woman?
And how does Obama's genetic makeup make him more black than white? Do you know who his parents were?
(http://www.arogundade.com/Resources/obama-father-mother.jpg)
I know someone who is half black and half Palauan. He married a half Palestinian, half white woman and had kids. How do we label those kids when it comes to race-based statistics? (Rhetorical question)
We definitely have an entire political party that tries to make race-based policy, but it's wrong. And unreliable.
Yes we all make generalizations. We all have what I think is an innate need to label everyone we meet (e.g., man, woman, race, smart, dumb, rich, poor, etc.). For example, it confuses people when they look at someone and cannot immediately identify what that person's ethnic background is.
But one of the questions is, what do you (or anyone else) do with these statistics? What exactly is the purpose?
