Cough. permalink fedilink source parent [–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) doesnt matter if someone can't fork up the $250 in the first place permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Arguably, if they can’t fork up $250, they shouldn’t be vacationing to a foreign country. Plenty of other countries do this though. You’re just an uneducated American who doesn’t go anywhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I am not an american despite my username. And this $250 is going to be above an already expensive and painful visa process. And there are countries which are visa-less for certain country passports. I can bet that a tourist visa for the U.S is going to be among the top of the ranks of most expensive visas with the introduction of this "Visa-integrity" fee. I could go to dozens of countries without having to get a visa, and plenty of other countries have visa which is actually worth the money than the dictator wannabes. So no, If people can't fork up $250 it doesn't mean they shouldn't be vacationing in foreign countries. That's just you being ignorant while accusing me of being uneducated and American. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] womjunru@lemmy.cafe 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Eskimo is pretty racist btw.

You sound even more racist now. A person who was not racist would never keep a username like this. I highly doubt that in the two years you’ve had this account no one on lemmy has pointed this out to you. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] eskimofry@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago "A person who was not racist would never keep a username like this" I was ignorant and it's not obvious this is racist as I am not american so fuck me i guess? "I highly doubt that in the two years you have had this account no one on lemmy has pointed this out to you" To my knowledge this is the first time some has said that this is racist. I will try to go back and find if someone mentioned this as racist. People have talked to me assuming I am american but that was expected. permalink fedilink source parent
