But you still prefer Poles, right? I'm getting jealous here...

It's not that simple. Racist folks in America don't care they are poor as long as minorities are even poorer. That's a huge part of Republican politics, that's why they vote for Trump. Trump doesn't promise them they will have better lives. It's all racist dog whistles promising them they will still be on top, they will be the 'better' race. That's why they oppose all sensible policies, because they will try to fix inequality and inequality is what they want.

And I don't think there's a simple fix for this. Many countries have this issue (UK, France) and the more progressive policies you try to push there the stronger the push back is. In the end it usually goes farther right until something terrible happens...

Did they teach you that Poles and Hungarians are like brothers? That's what they thought me in Poland.

That's not northern Spain. Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Pais Basco - that's northern Spain. Catalonia is in the east and it sucks. Northern Spain is very nice and clean.

Maybe he lived in Spain 40 years ago? Or in literally the worst part of the shittiest village there.

Did you fly to Germany and travel back in time there or did you travel back in time in US and travel to Germany in 1930?

It's not just the killings, the entire system is completely fucked up. Bail system, warrants, jails, plea deals, public defenders, judges, expert witnesses... absolutely everything is just wrong.

I took a closer look at a long list of police shootings some time ago and it looked like 50/50 between cops just shooting someone in the back and shooting back at someone trying to kill them.
