Okay but what about investing in the Fatwa ETF?

No, just no. You're missing the point. Poor people are poor people, some are immigrants, some are not.

Anything that benefits poor immigrants will also benefit poor citizens. Anything that enriches white nationals, will enrich the rich immigrants that can become nationals just paying money anyways.

It is your boss taking away your job and giving it to the lowest bidder. It doesn't matter who the bidder is. There will always be someone poorer than you, willing to work for less out of desperation. Sometimes they ar immigrants, sometimes they are white nationals.

Yeah this is my biggest point too. If they aren't receiving income, how are they supposed to access mental health services? In what world an 'employer' that barely pays their workers is going to provide mental health services?

Free and low cost services are incredibly overburdened already.

Real professional help is what people really need. Everything else are just excuses to avoid providing real support or guaranteeing an income that allows for accessing mental health services.

This is some cartoon-villain type unhinged behavior.

You deserve someone who is as excited to be with you as you are to be with them.

Bro sounds like he thinks of you like a pet "to keep around just in case".

If someone asked to be paid in crypto. I'd assu.e they're a criminal and bail out.

Like the US you mean?

Just to add to this: It was a term used by white people for slaves, it is directly linked to slavery. This is what makes it so offensive, particularly in the context of the US, if your ancestors weren't slaves, or even from Africa.

A rough explicit version would be to call someone 'slave' to their face. The US context adds insult to injury because descendants of former masters and slaves are living together, so not only is it a personal insult, but a cultural one. Like saying 'you should still be slaves'. White people know this, nobody can't claim ignorance, this makes it even MORE offensive, because the speaker doesn't have the benefit of the doubt.
