"Everything I don't like is racist/sexist/ableist/something-ist"
replyWhen you think the only group we should allow to immigrate is white South Africans, then, yea, it's racism. At least be honest about it.

They intentionally over-dramatize everything he does to spread fear and alarmism cause that's all they can do. It's so tiring and nonsensical.

didn't big tech co's layoff thousands of people here and then filed for thousands more h1b ?
replyIf it happened, there should be evidence (an article link). If it isn't supportable, then the implication is disingenuous to make.
