As Melania Trump returns to the White House, Slovenes in her homeland brace for another 4 years of being turned into a punchline, their history and heritage often the subject of jokes as Americans struggle to adjust to a very European (& Slavic) First Lady.

Well that's just poor taste. No one of any nationality should be lumped into the same category as one bad actor, just as no one who voted for Kamala should be lumped in with MAGA because Trump won.

I can't remember who wrote this, and it doesn't fit this message perfectly, but the crux of it seems appropriate:

"Racism is stupid. There are more than enough reasons to dislike people on an individual basis"

The fact that she was an escort and posed for porn photos has nothing to do with it of course.

I am a native German. What is a "very European First Lady." I am curious about the stereotypes applied here. Most Europeans aren't gold diggers! Most build their careers around their talents, skills, and abilities, not their looks and bodies.

LOL! You are very smart. Probably the smartest in your family ..?! 🤪

flere-imsaho.circumstances.run•49 days ago

nah; but i can pronounce “maul halten, scheißkerl” perfectly understandable.

andyger.bsky.social•49 days ago

Good for you. How about "Leck mich" und "Götz von Berlichingen"?

Go read a buuk ...

Had the nicest ICE experience in my life yesterday at the border with Canada. Balkan effect?

I've been to Slovenia, and it may be my favorite country. The kindness of the people and beauty of the landscape is unsurpassed. It's a shame Melania is its most famous child because she's stupid and mean, unlike every other Slovenian I met. The Lake Bled custard cake is pretty fucking amazing, too.

Her dream of returning to her home village of Govnograd, in the old country on the gentle slopes of Mt. Stara Kurva, where she spent her youth, will again have to wait.

Well, as bad as it is to share your ancestral home with Melanoma, sharing it with her husband is worse.
