Applegrove: because who who speaks their mind is going to go to the US? This is likely meant to keep civil society and liberals from traveling to the US and talking to Americans. Pure hermit kingdom ****!

1. This only applies to POC from "shithole" countries, folks from Norway will be exempt.

2. No, it applies to 45 countries in the current visa waiver program

which includes most of Western Europe, including Germany, the UK, France, etc. Even white people.

3. Do you believe it will be applied equally?

and fighting back it would not surprise me. Obviously nazi Europeans will not be intimidated to travel to the US from Europe but liberals around the world will be afraid to visit the US. This is hermit kingdom ****.

6. They'll tell them to hand over the info (email addresses, social media, birthplaces, dates, addresses of direct family

... ie parents, siblings and children) wherever they're from. How much investigation they'll do about people from white-majority nations with white-sounding names, who knows? If I chose to not tell them I'm "muriel_volestrangler", or only gave vanilla info about my deceased parents, would they find out?

5. Tourism is already tanked. This should finish it off...nt
