Es increíble cómo un simple artículo pudo despertar odio y estigmatización a una nación entera. Previo a este artículo, nunca pero nunca en mi vida me encontré a alguien que genuinamente odie a Argentina. Después de este articulo parece que todos lo hacen.

me da pena que haya mucha gente argentina criticando a la autora o insultandola, etc... porque nunca leyeron el articulo, ni investigaron su libro.

Aclaro por las dudas. El artículo en sí mismo no está mal. La autora Erika Denise Edwards dio en la tecla en un montón de puntos sobre Argentina. El problema es la gente estúpida que solo se quedó con el titulo, y uso eso para criticar a Argentina como un "país racista"

You know who did pass the bar exam? First Lady #MichelleObama, Justice #KetanjiBrownJackson, VP #KamalaHarris, and Congresswoman #JasmineCrockett. #DEI doesn’t lower the bar. It exposes those who can’t reach it.

If this woman were black, the whole conversation would be about DEI. Funny how when white employees fail, nobody mentions THEIR race or ethnicity. And yet — how much of Trump’s administration is just affirmative action for nice-looking white people?

In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, the word of the day is “tradition.” Together with our friend Zahn McClarnon we honor Indigenous people around the world and the many ways they share their culture and traditions every day. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

This is not acceptable. This is humiliating for the country. I don’t know what needs to be done, but we have to stop this. The senate is not hospice.

Nearly 100,000 people signed a petition demanding that Zohran Mamdani be excluded from the 9/11 commemoration. Today, he declared September 11 New York City’s first official Day of Remembrance and Service and ordered the city to update its emergency continuity plans for the first time since 2007. The people trying to turn 9/11 into an Islamophobic weapon against him should be fucking embarrassed.
