[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So much arrogrant racism and classism in this thread. And I have to wonder with some of it how long *your* families have actually lived in the US. [/quote]

How is pointing out how much trash is thrown on the street or in parks racist and classist? I'm sorry, but I have absolutely zero respect for anyone who liters and/or dumps.  They are the lowest of the low scum on the planet. [/quote]

Here's a helpful guide.

Not racist or classist: Littering is bad.
Not racist or classist: I don't like to see litter.
Not racist or classist: I don't like people who litter.
Not racist or classist: I see a lot of litter in [place].
Racist or classist: [Areas where poor and/or non-white people live] are dumps.[/quote]

NP - You can't deny that people who grew up in third world countries have different expectations for behavior.  Parts of MoCo are 30%+ foreign born (and that, of course, doesn't include their U.S. born children.  We are overwhelmed and can't acculturate people fast enough, so yes, things are starting to appear more and more like the third world.  Is that racist?[/quote]

Yes. "Foreign-born people and their US-born children litter" is a racist statement.[/quote]

OK - sure.  Go travel in Central America, Africa, and parts of Asia and the Caribbean and let me know what you see...

No where did I say that people can't learn new behavior or that it was based on their genetics.  It is part of their culture.[/quote]

"It's part of Central American/African/Asian/Caribbean culture to litter" is also a racist statement.[/quote]

Travel to the US South, it's also southern  culture to litter. Maryland looks almost spotless in comparison. Source: I am from Georgia. [/quote]

It’s not “Southern culture” to litter.  It may be the culture of some groups that live in the South. [/quote]

+1. I spend a lot of time in the Deep South in areas that are not affluent. They are very clean and well maintained compared to my local environment in AA and PG county. [/quote]
