    In last couple of days ads have been aired on TV in Australia promoting the disunited states as a fun holiday destination. We laughed as it aired (because of the awkwardly inappropriate message) about 15 minutes after another innocent has been shot by the american gestapo. You’d have to be mad to go to the du (disunited states) now if you are anything other than white male. Even then I suspect travel insurance will be reassessing premiums now that risks have escalated materially.

      You’ll have to define what do you mean “white male”. I am pretty sure I’m not, given that my skin is not pale-white and my hair is black. And like me, so many south europeans are probably much less white than they think.

        I was thinking of the nazi description of Aryan purity. So i sus pect southern europe wouldn’t count unless blue eyes, blond or light brown hair. Got to wonder what they are thinking. FIFA anyone?

    Not according to my Norwegian brother-in-law; he thinks the world will go back to normal when America elects a democratic leader. He’s a dumb engineer who does not understand geopolitics.
