A quick look at the Paris migrant crisis:

Hey, Kevin, take a chill pill and relax, dude.  You're going to give yourself a coronary getting all agro on people's posts.  This was my experience, and I was relating that in regards to Tom's post about his experience in Paris. 

I said immigrants, not filthy immgrants....that's your schtick.    

And how do you know that they weren't immigrants?  They weren't vendors with little tables or shops, but gypsies, and there were other visitors or locals, that spoke to us in English, that told us we just need to tell them NO, and not let them get too close, as they were known to pick pocket.  A couple we spoke with mentioned that they were mostly from the Balkans.  Did they know for sure, probably not, but they were definitely more informed than we were. 

And I have visited plenty of major cities and not dealt with the gypsies or panhandlers like we encountered at the Louvre. 

Kevin, the only posts in all of Kitchen Sink that have referred to migrants, or immigrants, as "FEELTHY", or any other reference to their cleanliness or hygiene, are yours.

That tourists or others are at risk to be 'touched' [impacted financially] by unsavory [unsavoury: unpleasant or morally unacceptable] types of individuals in the city of Paris, or any other locale, is a fact, not just a flash point for you to accuse folks of what you imagine them to be.   

It isn't news that there are, in the words of the pickpocket in the movie "Casablanca", "filchers, filchers everywhere" where tourists are numerous, including Paris.  Does that make me or Edso bad people for knowing we have to watch ourselves and our wallets in those situations?  Of course not.

So if someone behaves in a manner you find unacceptable, then they must be an immigrant, right?

And immigrants are the worst people in the world, right?

Tom's post was that of a pitiful little bigot. He had no way of knowing the national origins of the people who annoyed him. He just labeled them "immigrants" because in Tom World, that's the worst thing you can be. Not a rapist and child molester. Those guys, Tom votes for.

Only an idiot would travel to a heavily touristed major city and not expect to encounter or at least view vendors and panhandlers. Of course you need to watch yourself. But to curl yourself into a ball and go, "EWWW, IMMIGRANTS!" every time one of them speaks to you? You should have just stayed home.

I'm not sorry, Candy, for opposing bigotry in its many, many forms. And as far as Paris is concerned, the public's myriad hate crimes against their Muslim communities shame the city.
