Blame the outsiders for everything wrong with the world because it's easy. Stay in "your own country!" What does that even mean? We are prisoners of the place where we dropped out of our mothers' wombs? Like you, I am over this whole neocolonialism/gentrification white devils narrative. Borders are lines in the sand drawn by war and greed and pettiness. I'm over them too. Be kind, be helpful, try not to trash the place - these should be the conditions of employment in our wanderings.
You've hit the nail on the head about the "gentrification" narrative. It's all click-bait and sensationalism designed to provide Mark Zuckerberg with the money to build another 75,000 square foot apocalypse bunker, and we follow the click-bait like sheep because thinking for ourselves is just too damn inconvenient and hell there's so much scrolling to do we can't really take the time to think.
Gentrification is what happens when the government of a rich country is dysfunctional and can't manage the basics, i.e. healthcare, education, and housing. It comes in and cleans up the place, which benefits everyone in the beginning but eventually drives out the natives and first generation gentrifiers. It's always been coming for Mexico and will eventually make it all the way to Patagonia. It's not white, brown, or black. It's late stage capitalism. I'm not judging. Merely observing.

Nicely done, Gringa Dog Lady!
Thanks Mike . Agreed 100% :-)
