yah sorry for french link anyway heres some google translate:

http://www.lemonde.fr/elections-americaines/article/2016/04/18/l-effet-trump-sur-les-enfants-americains-les-prejuges-ont-augmente_4904446_829254.html


And children? Politicians have they thought about the children? In the US, adults have the habit of anti-immigration upmanship that grabs the Republican side during the primaries. There was the Minutemen in 2005-2006, the self-appointed vigilantes who watched the Mexican border. Then the Tea Party in 2008-2010. The candidates were opposed to any "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants, but few people were going to demand the expulsion of all illegal immigrants. And extremist rhetoric fell after the elections.

This year the phenomenon is different, because of the virulence of Donald Trump and his omnipresence in the media. And children suffer. Within months, his proposals to build a wall and "deportation" of undocumented migrants have brought fear in the Latino community. And sowed anxiety into the playground, if we are to believe a report published Wednesday, April 13, by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an association that tracks extremist groups and white supremacists since 1971. " We saw Donald Trump behave like a child 12 years. Now we see children of 12 years behaving like Donald Trump, "laments Richard Cohen, the center's director.

"is the wall here now ?"

:(

Its the parents. Kids emulate their parents. This is how prejudice happens, because kids don't invent that stuff on their own.

The people who claim ownership over great parenting tend to have the fewest number of kids.

...influencing our own children is a very effective way to bring about change over time . The millennials have been groomed by not only their parents but by their teachers and social media to open wide for every wackadoodle PC cause that comes down the pike . It's no surprise to me that many parents are saying enough is enough and are now teaching their children accordingly .

Then they are probably mistaking their affluence with good parenting then.

More affluent parents have less kids. They have more resources. You have more resources going into less children and it is almost a matter of math.

Of course free will and self-determination matter, which is how cycles of poverty are broken or entered into.

I love my kids but I have no doubt I fall short. In fact I've neglected them and every other area of my life for the past five years to finish college. It was this or another 20 years in the service industry. I feel like I missed a lot. I'm taking my last exam ever today unless I want to get a PhD or Go to law school down the road....and it is a mix of relief and bitterness. I had similar feelings leaving the army.

Really went on a tangent but I have a lot on my mind.

Today is also my second anniversary. A bright light in my world ☺

I get what you're going for here and am not really going topto try disputing it because I'm okay with it as my point goes.

Even given that it's natural, that makes it all the sadder that people are pushing that it's a great idea that these kids be racist and shitty to immigrants.

It's a learned behavior. Until we get it in the DSM.
