There is a lot controversy surrounding Donald Trump's supposed comments about shithole countries. Many believe that it backs up their feelings that Trump is racist. Are their shithole countries? If you judge by how countries compare to each other then there are obviously shithole countries. There are countries that are worse than average in terms of income, life expectancy, technology, crime etc. These types of countries exist. There are plenty people complain about the United States. Colin Kaepernick has gotten a lot of support for protesting the "oppression" of non whites in the United States. Well if people of color are being oppressed here, then how do you describe what is going on in Haiti. I looked for info in the per capita income in Haiti, and in 2014 it was $846 USD. If someone here made that much every two months, they would considered poor. It's a country filled with dirt roads, and a crime level well above the world average. If Haiti isn't a shithole, then what countries outside of central Africa are shitholes? The life expectancy in Haiti is 63 years old, while most of the developed world has life expectancy's that range from the late 70's to early 80's.
Let's get to Africa. What about some of the countries there. Most of the poorest countries in the world are in Africa. Are those countries shitholes? Trump is in a different position, because part of his job is International Affairs. Considering that, he should be more careful with what he says, but that is part of the charm of Trump, as well as one of his weaknesses. He doesn't have the filter that most other politicians have. He says how he feels many times in which it offends other people. The people criticizing him aren't making that argument though. That aren't saying that what he said was true, and he should have just chosen his words better. It's like people are afraid to even admit that there are shithole countries. If the inner cities in this country are shitholes then what is going on in most Africa, and Haiti is much worse.
