yes she was #1 woman in Britain and both of them are nice, decent people, always have been.

OH NO she said "I say to them that this country has given us an opportunity, it gave my parents a chance of a better life, so I am a very proud to be British and I consider to have ended up captain of a national team a huge achievement" OHHH just can'tunderstand why they aren't shouting about how they were oppressed and are YUGE victims and they're owed a living + want reparations?
You should be proud of your country giving their family the opportunites it did. In a way, I guess you are. And proud of them that they made it a win-win.
Next up: Tiny will emerge from under his rock and point out that depsite their success, and the success of thousands like them, their rape numbers are disproportionate.

But explain to us how is it good for Laos or any proor country to get bombed by USA for no reason and then, as a form of war reparations, such country even gets to lose human potential?
Their country and infrastructures gets destroyed and then they lose quality people to the countries that bombed them?

I'm not up to speed on Laos, but the main reason the US took in large amounts of Vietnamese after 1975 is interesting and easy to understand.
The people who were allowed into the US had close ties to Thieu's government, and hence to the US forces during the war; many--maybe most--were Catholic. In this sense it was something like allowing
Bautista supporters to settle in Florida after Castro took over Cuba.
In a sense it was a humanitarian gesture. I, myself, don't necessarily support open-handed humanitarian gestures unless there's some benefit
for the nation hosting them, and in the case of the Vietnamese this
proved true. As a segment of the population, they are exemplary and have contributed to the whole disproportionately. We'd have damned near 50
years to observe them integrating into the US society, to see if they eventually fuck up, but they haven't. They are decent folk, all the way.

him/us that he's part of a group that doesn't deserve compliments in the same breath.
"Hi there. You're a great guy. You're not a rapist like most of you
are!" is not a compliment. If the one receiving the backhand was someone
you didn't know, what you assume would be the default.
This is what you need to start paying reparations for.

yeah you can and they'd love it, especially when they're not part of the group was talking about,
they'd say "yeah we believe in honest hard work instead of being lazy entitled freeloaders". Actually that's exactly what they said in the article, you maroon.a Categeory B prison and was very proud of that.
"Hi there. You're a great guy. You're not a rapist like most of you
are!" is not a compliment. If the one receiving the backhand was someone
you didn't know, what you assume would be the default.
it is definitely a compliment! cos if you said that to a prisoner in a Category B prison(which is the correct context for your quote) he would definitely 100% say "thanks man" or are you disputing that? especially if he had emphasised how he came from
This is what you need to start paying reparations for.
no don't owe anyone anything, especially not a bunch of lazy freeloaders, dimvit.
