(869 posts)I work in the developing world, and I have seen very bad conditions, not caused by the population I was serving. You could describe a country totally devastated by a Cat 5 Hurricane a Sh*thole in its current condition, but my job, and I think everybody's job is not to point fingers but to make things work.
By the way, I have been and worked in many of Trump's "Sh*thole" countires, and he is dead wrong. There are countries with real challenges, but in general the overall population of those countries may be more intelligent than the average American, simply because of the challenges it takes to survive. Question: How many languages does Donald Trump, President of the United States, master? How about the average African? (Answer to the second one: the colonial language prior to independence, the other colonial language the may have existed previously, the local tribal language (not a dialect), and, maybe the neighboring language (not a dialect). So at least four.)
I am sick of judgemental prejudices. I've worked in South Asia, the Caribbean, Africa too long to take this BS.
People are people. That's where it all starts.
