    Frankly man I find this very insulting and pretty racist. You don’t have a good word to say about them eh?

      Is it racist to call a latrine a shithole? What if the entire country was a poorly managed, poorly constructed, poorly infrastructured, poorly supported, and poorly developed piece of land going to be called? I call it a shithole. Harsh? Sure. Racist? No.

          We can’t do anything about where we were born. It doesn’t mean the USA isn’t a clusterfuck of epic proportions, nor the UK (where I’m from). All three are corrupt and a mess.

            I’m not blaming you or the person I responded to. But maybe they should take a look at their own backyard before calling any place a corrupt shithole
