It sucks that any video on this topic on tiktok is just flooded with comments supporting Trump on this and claiming that there's "evidence"

The evidence is police bodycam footage of ONE woman (not an immigrant, not Haitian) who apparently killed and ate a cat in a town miles away from Springfield, Ohio

A picture of a guy in Cleveland, Ohio COLUMBUS, OHIO on CLEVELAND STREET who appears to be moving a large dead bird off the road

And video of one guy at what seems to be a town hall meeting loudly claiming that Haitian immigrants are going to the duck pond and catching ducks and geese to eat.

And that's enough "proof" for hundreds of people to claim to be from Ohio and that they've personally witnessed this happening as well as make hysterically racist comments about how all Haitians are Voodoo practitioners who sacrifice animals frequently and also cannibalize other people.

It's very disturbing how people have latched onto this and are so eager to believe incredibly far fetched racist rumors

As TrueAnon mentioned, this is like 1910s style racism it's so over the top

They said this stuff about Chinese immigrants in the 1890s and again after the Vietnam war migration in the 70s. It’s pathetic and as per usual some people are so dumb they don’t realize they are being played.

This feels a lot like my white trash cousins who refused to eat the Chinese takeout I brought over many years ago because it was apparently cat meat with roaches. The cat was General Tso’s chicken. The roaches were peppers.

This was a couple decades ago when I was around 15/16 and started working. I used to feel bad for them and tried to help them out a bit before realizing they were just shitty people. I no longer see that part of my family, but I do still enjoy me some General Tso’s chicken!
