I guess no-one reminded them about the whole leopards eating faces thing. Just don't travel to the USA, for any reason. 🤷🏻‍♂️

"...dozens of fans who filled out the form have said on social media that their application status had changed this week from "approved" to "travel not authorised".

Some have told BBC Scotland News they could lose out on thousands of pounds in travel costs due to the changes, with Scotland's first World Cup game kicking off in less than two weeks."

Sorry for victim blaming, but traveling to #Trumpistan for the #football WC is quite stupid. People should avoid that place unless a visit is really necessary.

@martin Please don't do the thing of comparing a white nationalist very western fascist country for homegrown white colonizer reasons denigratingly to Asian countries (by putting -stan behind your term for the US in this case). You don't make your point about fascism stronger by being racist to Asians.

That's not really the point. I just use a name that's made of Trump as that's all his politics care about. Trumpistan just sounds better than trump states, trumpany or whatever came to my mind. So, sorry to people in Kazakhstan, Kirgisistan, Usbekistan and so on. This is not against you.

@martin That's not really an excuse? Your intention not being to be racist doesn't magically make something not racist, my guy. I was informing you of something that happens quite a lot, where people will make some sort of comparison to Asian countries when they find a critique of a white coloniser state. There's many forms, comparing to North Korea or China, putting -stan behind a name, or others. I'm just saying, you're not the first person to do this specifically, and it has always been racist and is now as well, so stop.
