Or who is he that any of us should actually care.

Fast becoming? It wasn't a shithole country when it denigrated an entire race for several centuries? Well fucking Christ what do you have to do to be designated a shithole? At some point Americans need to recognize that slavery wasn't some alternate universe, it was this same "Everybody's equal, we're all colorblind, American dream, patriorism blah blah blah" country.

Minus the 'we're all equal' part that's a decent summation, there. I almost love it when someone utters 'we're all equal.....' in their complaint, it damned near always includes the example of how you're less equal than they are. Almost always includes a specific complaint wrapped in a raggedy bow, like you're just not supposed to mention the clear double standard just evidenced, often in the same breath. Makes it 'simple' to toss the example back. People usually only individually deem countries a shithole if they're A: in the middle of a war or B: the views coming out of said country do a disservice to that individual person's rights, and everyone else's rights may go hang.

Average people are more interesting than "celebrities "
I think the guy in question is quite interesting because of his honesty and abit of "anti social or loner" behavior.

Mind you, 'do a disservice' may or may not mean an actual disservice. There's no shortage of "My gods given right says I'm better, treat me that way!" I mean, you could call something a shithole entirely because the land itself is harsh or uninhabitable - but that's not usually how it's used, obv. Fer instance, I nevert see the various deserts deemed shitholes in conversations unless a population is mentioned/involved in the discussion.

So, he doesn't even say that South Korea is a shithole country, does he?

Shit hole in my interpretation of what he was saying.
In your interpretation is heaven ...


And in his title "hated" means what ?????

What a mess with the shoot out, drug dealers, and immigrants have no where to live ...

How does that compare with southern France or other areas where African migrants have moved in? Have those nations seen a shift in sharing power with their new citizens?

Few European countries have more than 10% of foreign origin, or even 5%, and since foreigners cannot vote, that evolution is always one or two generations later.

However, you will find Arab mayors in places where they are a large share of the population. But since they are spread out more evenly, in my native Belgium, for instance, they are fewer mayors of Turkish, Moroccan and Congolese stock than, say, members of parliament, who are not elected in a local "winner takes all" system, but on a national level, with a few votes here and a few votes there.

I myself have voted for a lot of people of immigrant stock who just happened to share my values and priorities.

We wouldn't listen to a celebrity rant for 25 minutes either.

And with "Arab mayors", I also mean Turkish, Persian, African, or better still, European with ancestry in those places.
