Hey buddy, we. don’t. have. a. Syrian. refugee. problem. Not after they get vetted both by the UN and the US for 24 months. But that’s beside the point. The first thing is the reference of “three will kill you”, apparently that comes from this.
MPI analyzed the number of refugees resettled through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, and found just three people were arrested on terrorism charges. Two were Iraqi refugees arrested in Bowling Green, Ky., in 2011 on suspicion of plotting to send weapons to insurgents to kill American soldiers abroad. The third is an Uzbek refugee who was arrested in 2013 in Boise, Idaho, accused of conspiring to support a terrorist organization, gathering explosive materials, and plotting to carry out an attack on U.S. soil.….In an article on Oct. 18, 2015, the Economist further explained: “If a potential terrorist is determined to enter America to do harm, there are easier and faster ways to get there than by going through the complex refugee resettlement process. Of the almost 750,000 refugees who have been admitted to America since 9/11, only two Iraqis have arrested on terrorist charges; they had not planned an attack in America, but aided al-Qaeda at home.”
There’s your deadly “three” — two of whom weren’t planning attacks on U.S. soil at all — out of a pool of 750,000. Pardon me, but that’s a really big bowl. Really really big. Like enormous.
You’d be more likely to get poisoned going into your local Chipotle.
Oh and why does it have to filled with Skittles pray tell?
The analogy isn’t new, and has been used for years by white supremacists to overgeneralize about various minority groups. “It is often deployed as a way to prop up indefensible stereotypes by taking advantage of human ignorance about base rates, risk assessment and criminology,” wrote Emil Karlsson on the blog Debunking Denialism. “In the end, it tries to divert attention from the inherent bigotry in making flawed generalizations.”
A basket of “Flawed generalizations.” Yeah, yet another name for the Trump campaign. Anywhoo….
The analogy, which has been used on message boards and shared as social media memes, originally used M&Ms as the candy in question — but that changed after George Zimmerman gunned down Trayvon Martin while the unarmed black teen was walking home from buying a drink and some Skittles.A Google image search of “skittles trayvon meme”reveals a horrible bounty of captioned images mocking the slain teenager, whose killer was acquitted after claiming self-defense under Florida’s “stand your ground” law.But the poisoned candy analogy goes back even further, to an anti-Semitic children’s book published by Julius Streicher, the publisher of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer who was executed in 1946 as a war criminal.
Get it? Skittles are all colored. They don’t come in White, so a bowl full of Skittles is a bowl fully of colored non-white people. Colored non-whites who just might kill you, maybe, but only if you pick the one, or three, out of 750,000. Obviously the risk is just too high. We can’t afford to take a chance, best to just chuck the entire bowl out and keep them out, with a wall, a great big beauiful $2-25 Billion Wall that’s has above and below the ground monitoring and extreme ideological don’t you truly Lurve America enough in an Uber Non-Reichstad burning I’ll stay a virgin forever I swear purity test vetting.
Way to stoke the White-Panic there Donnie.
