> [@Mighty\_Mouse](#): > > Hahaha! Almost my entire family (all POCs, most first generation immigrants, some in denial on both) are firmly in the “They don’t mean us, we are the good minorities/immigrants” camp. Note I said “should dispel”, not “will dispel”. Human nature is real good at saying “It won’t happen to me”. Until it does. I’m generic native-born US white. My GF is Afro-Caribbean. So are many of her friends and co-workers. Miami is like that. All of them are nervously eyeing which island to flee to if the shit really hits the fan in the USA. In some cases their home island isn’t a good idea, so they’re searching out extended family elsewhere, etc. The Afro-Americans without a recent immigrant connection are feeling sort of cornered, with no safe place to escape to. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-stupid-rumors-about-springfield-haitians/1007210)._
