In addition, they say that the enemy is a person who stinks, who smells bad, who is also physically ugly and, mainly, they put forward the idea that the enemy wants to take away what is yours,\u201d he stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the discourse that Trump has been using as part of his campaign is that migrants are in the United States to take away jobs and opportunities, harming the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her opponent, the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris, is advancing on the electoral board, as she has proven to be a confident woman and fully capable of becoming president, in addition to being ready for her first debate against Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manuel Ortiz said Trump&#039;s comments were out of place, as they only harm immigrant communities who feel attacked, discriminated against and afraid of his political stances or comments in a country that should be free of opinions and thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cNo human being is illegal and immigrants must be respected, even if this generates controversy, but there comes a time when Trump has crossed the line, which is not pleasing to certain sectors due to some comments he made.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Anna Lee Mraz commented that the Olympic Games have shown that society has many prejudices, as controversies have arisen around the gender of the participants, calling into question the participation of each one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe debate is that there is no metric or significant line between the categories of men and women, where some women were not able to participate just because they did not meet the established ranges; they are women, but they do not meet their standards, which falls into discrimination,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most worrying thing, she said, is the construction of a sexist discourse full of hate and the transphobia that has been generated, where women face a kind of surveillance to prove that they are women &quot;and it becomes very ironic that a movement that claims to want to protect girls and women ends up looking for ways to harm and discriminate against them.&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Donald Trump has also been a political topic during these Olympic Games, as his racist comments have left their mark on athletes, such as gymnast and Olympic champion Simone Biles, a member of the delegation representing the United States at the competition held in Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biles stated:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cI love my black job,\u201d referring to Trump\u2019s comment during the June debate with Joe Biden, where he said immigrants are stealing \u201cblack jobs\u201d from Americans.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This comment was repeated during the National Association of Black Journalists conference after being questioned by one of the panelists, explaining that a black job \u201cis anyone who has a job,\u201d which provoked laughter and complaints from many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, he has made comments regarding the gender of athletes in an attempt to gain supporters, but far from gaining points, he is subtracting points by trying to attack important communities that can make a difference in the upcoming elections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You may be interested in:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/tulelake-farm-workers\/\"> \u201cWe have not come to do harm\u201d: migrant workers respond to hate speech<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escucha esta nota: &nbsp; Donald Trump ha generado un discurso de odio contra los inmigrantes, mujeres, personas afrodescendientes y otros sectores de la poblaci\u00f3n, lo que le ha hecho perder simpatizantes quienes que ven como una mejor opci\u00f3n a Kamala Harris; sin embargo, su discurso no deja de lastimar a la comunidad.
