re: #16 Aunty Entity Dragon

What about our own class and racial privilege? How often have we heard about US Secret Service agents violating laws in Honduras and elsewhere? How many consular employees and their family members get a warning and nothing else when they slip up?

That has changed…for the worse…in India. They will absolutely not look the other way now, and US citizens are going to be hurt and jailed to save face for India.

Tu Quoque is a logical fallacy, not an argument, and as I recall the Secret Service incident you’re talking about took place in Columbia, where prostitution is legal, not Honduras. And those Secret Service agents lost their jobs. Also we didn’t threaten anybody’s embassy officials safety here in order to strong arm their prosecutors at home. Fact is her limited consular privilege doesn’t cover lying on visa forms and keeping a wage slave in violation of US law. The only reason the Indian government gives a shit about this is because she comes from the right kind of family.

And it’s really goddamned disgusting to equate human trafficking and exploitation, which I’m sorry is exactly what this fucking is, with a “slip up.”
