    I don't see race. People from Norway could be predominately white, black, yellow, purple. Who really knows?https://twitter.com/pdmcleod/status/953296989998997510 …

    Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen says Trump’s call for people from Norway not about race but merit. “The people from Norway work very hard.” Asked if Norway is predominantly white: “I actually do not know that sir but I imagine that’s the case."

        Someone named Nielsen should have a clue, however.

        That seems entirely plausible, of course. But we really don’t work that hard.

        Nice, so if Norwegians work hard, I guess she also doesn't think large tax funded social safety net programs = laziness. Kills all of admin's Ayn Randian arguments.

        Um, don’t the Scandinavian countries have *more* vacation time than the rest of the world? (Not that that’s a bad thing.) Also, did her parents name her from a random name generator, because with her name, I’m guessing there’s some lutefisk in her blood somewhere?

        So many countries to keep straight. Impossible without a race card.
