Refugee Resettlement Watch - Ann Corcoran - Hey Maine dummies: Just because they are Africans doesn’t mean they carry Ebola - "Maine is in overload with its mostly African immigrants and the recent rush of asylum seekers, but this article is nothing more than a lecture to those dummies (I’m not calling anyone a dummy!) who live in Maine and don’t know about geography and other such things more worldly people might know about."


Hey Maine dummies: Just because they are Africans doesn’t mean they carry Ebola



     So many corrupt violent destitute uneducated superstitious dysfunctional nations in the world, teeming with overpopulation, exotic diseases and resentments against the West--from which one shall we eagerly snap of the next 100,000 future Americans?! 


And, you know stereotyping is very wrong and doing so makes you a very very bad person.


I just re-read this article and wondered why it was news.
We know here at RRW that Maine is in overload with its mostly African immigrants and the recent rush of asylum seekers, but this article is nothing more than a lecture to those dummies (I’m not calling anyone a dummy!) who live in Maine and don’t know about geography and other such things more worldly people might know about.
Read it yourselves.  The bottom line is that no one can seem to find any Africans in Maine yet stereotyped as possible Ebola carriers, but just in case you Mainers have a hankering to start stereotyping, don’t do it says the Portland Press Herald.
…representatives of several Maine immigrant communities in Portland and Lewiston-Auburn said they have not experienced any negative interactions because of the Ebola outbreak.
But rest assured, the powers-that-be are getting a jump on the non-problem by distributing information on how you should be thinking. ...
