86. That's a really disgusting thing to say - do you have the same opinion of rape victims?
Most rapes aren't reported to the cops, either, for a variety of reasons - one of which is the victim's fear that she'll be told she's lying, making it all up, or trying to get attention.

And yet you are saying that if a crime isn't reported to the police, it didn't happen. You don't WANT to believe him because his story doesn't confirm your prejudices and biases. The ONLY reason you are so quick to disbelieve him is because he's white and YOU find it impossible that any white person anywhere could suffer discrimination. If the tables were turned and this man were black and seeking asylum, your posts would probably get you tombstoned.
