And it's only the tip of the iceberg, they're might be more migrants who have meet the same fate who might have ignored by the MSM or the MSM didn't give a fuck about it.

Probably China, and they've already denied it, and since they always lie, that's more or less a confirmation.

So woke mob on twitter strikes again. A college graduate from the midwest moves to NYC, has to sublet in the Bronx between his job starting and when his apartment is available. Is aghast at how ghetto bodegas stand in for actual grocery stores:
The twitter mob predictably enough found his linked in profile, and the startup that hired him announced he no longer has a job.
Quite happily, that tweet is getting ratioed hard.
Unfortunately I cannot locate a properly archived version of @grifreen20''s original tiktok videos. I did not think this rose quite to the level of a main entry in the Articles subforum,.

Edit: found an editorialized version of the video. Cannot find the original (yet)
Twitter is not having it with a clueless white TikTok user who shared a video of himself searching for a “real” grocery store in New York City. The TikToker, who one Twitter user identified as Griffin Green, was confused why his maps app kept directing him to bodegas when he searched for grocery stores.

“OK, so just moved to New York and I’m trying to go grocery shopping and so I type in ‘grocery stores’ on my Apple maps and every f**king one I go to they’re like this s**t,” the TikToker said while pointing the camera to two corner stores.
He went on to describe that he was looking for a store where he could get “eggs, yogurt, cheese, s**t like that.”
He then took viewers inside one of the bodegas. He laughed off the store’s hot bar, referencing the popular TikTok trend “The Ocky Way.” According to Know Your Meme, “The Ocky Way” refers to a sandwich that Arabic New York City bodegas and deli chefs are known for.
“Where are the Krogers, where are the Whole Foods at,” he asked his viewers, still not convinced bodegas are actual grocery stores.
The video concludes with the TikToker complaining about having to eat “cereal and ramen” for dinner.
He addressed the backlash he received from the video in another TikTok. He said he thought it was “funny” his app kept directing him to bodegas instead of grocery stores.
He added that he relocated to New York for a new job and was waiting for his lease to start on his Upper East Side apartment while subletting a “s**thole” apartment for a few weeks.
“And yes it’s a s**thole you can’t even argue with me on that,” he said. “There’s like trash everywhere on the sidewalks and streets and there’s people sleeping on the sidewalk.”
One user shared another one of his TikToks talking about his experience at the gym in the Bronx. In the video, he notes he’s the only white person there, and in order for “these people to vibe with me more,” he decided to wear an NAACP muscle tee.
Another person shared a TikTok of him questioning whether “being gay is just a thing now.”
“He gets even worse with every video,” they tweeted of his TikTok.
One viewer also mentioned the gym video, noting that in the comments he referred to Black people as the “colored community.”
Some people questioned why he struggled to find grocery stores in the city.
“F**k what he talking about but is this y’all grocery stores in NY?” they tweeted. “We have corner stores but also have full grocery stores.”
Others suggested the city isn’t for him.
“This is exactly why when transplants move in we start to see a shift of small mom and pop shops closing down. If you wanted a Whole Foods you should’ve moved your ass to a area that has Whole Foods but you can’t afford it so you’d rather complain,” one wrote.
“These gentrifiers NEED TO LEAVE. There is literally Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and local grocery stores ALL OVER NYC! Those are bodegas he is pointing out!” another said.
Some viewers came to his defense, arguing that his video highlights food insecurity in the country.
“Nah im a blk woman who moved to bk from suburban georgia and had the exact same reaction esp moving to flatbush brooklyn where there is exactly one real grocery store. it’s hard to feed yourself out here that’s y it’s called a food desert. ppl shouldn’t have to live like this,” one user wrote.
“I’m black and I would have been like him too tbh. In the south I don’t go to a corner store for food. I go to Publix, piggly wiggly, Winn Dixie, or, Walmart. I think it doesn’t help bc he’s white,” another added.
Green has since deleted some of his TikTok videos and made his account private.

Of course there are. I have no idea about that area of the Bronx though .. There are sees where there are no decent grocery stores....
The point is a young man lost his job for fairly tame commentary....

Plus as a someone who has moved diffent parts of my country, it always takes time to learn where stuff is. You never just have native knowledge about this stuff because duh. Grocery stores and what to get from each one, good restaurants, cheap restaurants, clothes that work you and so on. You try it out, look it up ans ask around, and it can be frustrating. The experience is pretty much always just like this guy. Why the hell did people make this about race or gentrification?

Well, that's why you sit around at home and Google for things you want, rather than walking around in the barrio like a moron flashing around your fancy iPhone and looking for the nearest thing in your shithole neighborhood. I have no doubt it actually was a shithole neighborhood either.
And he can't figure out why nobody but a heavily armed family would operate even a small bodega/liquor store/hot food place, or why several family members are always conspicuously present on the premises.
I actually do think it's disrespectful to anyone with the balls to operate at all in a shithole like that to trash their establishments. A lot of those small corner stores with a little kitchen in the back and maybe three basic menu choices are surprisingly good.

I didn't actually see any obvious children in the video, but given the documented history of children being carted off to gay parades, I think it's very likely to be true:
Also, this site apparently won't let me embed Tweets:

They have had a very thriving deviant scene for a very long time. Toronto is an overpriced shithole that exists primary to launder money through real estate.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WAZZUP, DOC!?
Nudity and when and where it's appropriate is actually mostly cultural with no obvious answers beyond a few things.
I don't see a problem with something like a nude beach, you know what you're getting into if you choose to go there and simply being nude on a beach is not something that is inherently sexual.
A Pride parade on the other hand is sexual and if we want to have those and say it's ok to be nude, just don't bring kids.
Also, the question that should always be asked and tragically rarely is if you're going to be nude in public is "do I have a body that people would actually want to see naked?" and if the answer's no, then maybe keep your clothes on.
I don't think it should be too controversial to say there's an obvious difference between a woman who has a nice pair of breasts out and this weirdo with his dick out, maybe a compromise should be "top freedom" in most public places (like say any beach or park) but certainly keeps your genitals covered up at least.
Oh and it goes without saying biological women and girls deserve safe spaces free from anyone with a wangus.

I remember that it was once considered bad for pedophiles to expose their genitals to children in public. Apparently now it is parade-worthy.

Heat wave has hit Tokyo so understandable
Too bad it's not like those fanservice anime. Expectation vs reality I guess.
