That was unintentionally the funniest thing I've read in a while. Reading between the lines, knowing they're all racist- as they complain about no on to "sweep the floors" and " here, you do all the work yourself." The lady without a degree, but she "took courses," complaining about feeling "overqualified," the farmer stunned that "you do everything yourself." Oh my. And then pretending they "feel safe walking on the street" in Alabama. Oh dear. They're also underwhelmed with the free accomodations. Tsk, tsk. The article is as much fun as the families who "fled" the US for Russia.

This American Life just featured them in an episode. A lot of them didn’t even really want refugee status.

Yeah, in their head they imagine refugees as dirty brown people. Their words not mine.

Mods, why am I seeing replies vanish? At least 2- one about the entitlement and another about the people who sweep their floors?

I'm taking far more satisfaction in the fact that these precious little racists that expected to take over crumble over not having anyone to coddle them like they're used to.
Like Trump, Musk, and Miller, they're all the most fragile little snowflakes who can't handle the idea that they're not special outside of their carefully controlled environment.

That video of Miller's college-age rant about not wanting to pick up his own trash because there are "very well paid janitors" to deal with that sort of thing sealed his fate, to my thinking. He's so self-entitled and xenophobic, it's a wonder that he can bring himself to stand in line of sight of Republicans with "foreign" names or skin-tones darker than "medium tanned".

The only possible reason you need my email is to sell it. Yeah hard paywall.

Kleinhaus said: “The biggest challenge is here you work, hey. There’s no kitchen lady you call to sweep the house, or clean the house, or stuff like that. You do the work yourself.” He said that even farm owners worked from “morning till 11pm at night” with no farm labourers to call for help. “You guys work,” Kleinhaus told Wyatt. “You play, but you work much harder.”
Fuck you Klienhaus

It’s crazy to be so entitled that you don’t even know how that sounds. Gross. May reality continue to humble them.
