This just in: Racists are stupid
The comments on this video are both gross and hilariously dumb.
If you don't want to watch the vid: It's just surveillance footage of a homeless guy doing his business in a planter inside a building in Winnipeg. Gross, yes, but not exactly shocking to those of us who have lived in urban areas and see what lack of proper mental health care does.
The key point, though, is the racist, xenophobic dolts commenting on this don't get that:
1. The guy is not an immigrant. He's First Nations (native).
2. This is CANADA. Not the U.S.
It's right there in the video description. But they're not reading that. Because most of them can't read, or choose to ignore any information that might harsh the high they get from pretending to be superior over brown people.
Also? I wonder how many of these guys have gotten massively drunk and barfed on someone's lawn, or on a public sidewalk or... But it's OK, because their ancestors were from Europe. *koff*
