BMW's Hallowe'en tweet gag backfires after Benz retorts BMW USA tweeted a(n arguably) funny Halloween message to its followers October 31, showing off a $500 BMW M5 Halloween costume it just added to is online accessories catalog wrapped around a Mercedes-AMG. The caption on the tweet? Now every car can dress up as its favourite superhero.If, impossibly, that didnt get a chuckle out of you, Daimlers official Twitter account clapped back at BMW with its own quip.Nice one, @BMWUSA. Thats a really scary costume! Especially that radiator grille was the retort. We imagine everybody laughed until they peed their vented leather seats.Nice one, @BMWUSA. That’s a really scary costume! Especially that radiator grille Daimler AG (@Daimler) October 31, 2019Groan. Interactions like this almost always backfire, and its never a good idea to show another brands product looking better than yours. A wrinkly BMW car cover over top of a pristine Mercedes-Benz just set them up for a take-down.At the same time, we have to admit its unusual to see these two German rivals engaging in playful banter on the internet its usually Audi that takes the brunt of the abuse from BMW, or vice-versa. Are things OK between those two? Maybe theyre going through a rough patch, who knows? All we know is this joke falls a little flat.Even worse, the whole gag feels just a little vaguely familiar probably because somebody already made literally the same joke back in 2013.Back then it was Pepsi floating the ad featuring its can costumed as a Cola Coca.

Five months of Trump: Muslims’ panics were high but neighbors stood by them
Racial and religion tensions have been high-pitched in Northampton County in accordance with the US election. But Muslim commanders have also recognized a surge in support
In the third largest week of the first Ramadan of the Donald Trump presidency, seven Muslim categories gathered for an iftar dinner to resolve the days rapidly at a spacious home in a lately developed outskirt of Easton, Pennsylvania.
Men and women assembled in separate rooms. Children with iPhones and shiver spinners guided down a hallway and through the kitchen, where sweet years were piled on a dish and metal tub of haleem, chicken biryani, crispy south Indian chicken 65, curry and rice sat warming. To suck, there was mango lassi and milk with rooh afsah and ice liquid and Coca-Cola.
After sunset, different groups had a snack, and then a prayer in the cellar, in a corner opposite a big Tv and a deep couch. At the end of the darknes, Rizwan Butt, chairman of the Easton-Phillipsburg Muslim Association, shared a character that had been to be presented to him at the mosque recently, following news reports of a petty cash crime by an unaffiliated maintenance worker.
The letter spoke TAGEND Hello Neighbor ,
I envisioned in the paper that a soldier stole from you and I want to help change some of what was lost.
Be well , [ Signed ]
She transmitted a check, Butt replied. I could sit here and tell you a hundred narrations like that.
The tales like that started to amas swiftly in late January, Butt articulated, after Trump first announced his ban on travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, a restriction subsequently amended in order to six.
The reaction in general, since such elections the reaction has been unbelievable, in a positive way, Butt told.
It was grim, he responded of the travel costs forbid. We all understood that this was just the beginning of a broader safarus with an ultimate goal that was defined very well in the[ presidential] safarus, which was censoring more Muslims until something was figured out, whatever figured out is.

Bracing for potential conflict, the Muslim community instead procured brand-new courses of communication opening, Butt said.
Everyone you can imagine came forward. I received letters at the mosque from neighbours, concerned parties from all levels of society, adding: Were here to stand by you, we dont agree with this, Butt added. Offers to come to the mosque to support the activities related to safety standards. One female announced me up and told me that she is ready to drive the women in our community around so that they would feel safe. She would take time off work to do that.
When Butt firstly arrived in Easton 17 years ago, he replied, there were perhaps five to 10 Muslim pedigrees that he knew of in the immediate orbit. Today there are about 100, and more than 1,000 Muslim families in the greater Lehigh Valley. More than 50% hail from south-east Asia, with additional contingents from Turkey and the Middle East, including refugees, and from the United States itself.

Can Trump genuinely establish America great again? The people of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, twice voting in favour Barack Obama, but in 2016 they flipped to Donald Trump. This serial will be presenting reports from the former steel district to be determined what voters are hoping for, and expect: can Trump give?
More from this series
“>
Muslim immigrants were moving into the region for the same reasons other beings do, Butt supposed quality of life and economic possibility. Butt is a software assistances designer who grew up in Bahrain. The vice-president of the Muslim association works in insurance. The emcee of the recent iftar celebration works in IT for Citigroup.
The quality-of-life metric had sustained some dents during the Trump campaign and afterwards, Butt acknowledged.
We have had some sisters, because theyre the most prominent emblems of Islam, as they walk around, in accordance with the rules they dress, theyre foremost, he pronounced. So theyve had some name-calling, honking on the road, situations of that style. One sister who does plow herself more than others, she did get some bad observations when she was going out shopping.
But aside from that , no physical impairment, thank God. No ones come and sprayed graffiti on our mosques. Our mosques didnt receive any telephone call or words of detest, but parties on the street did receive that.
It bubbled to the surface
The political rise of Donald Trump inflamed racial, ethnic and religion frictions across the United States. Northampton County, Pennsylvania, the stage of a key Trump victory last November, was not immune. A years worth of nasty occurrences tells the tale.
Anecdotes and interviews mark bullying and name-calling in schools, including use of the N-word. A harvest of Confederate flags last-place tumble, as such elections approached. Oral altercations at work, or abrupt idioms from co-workers of previously secreted prejudiced sentimentalities. Criticizing accounts about immigrants. Taunting in the street of veiled Muslim women. Swastika graffiti. Ugly showdowns of different kinds that didnt previously seem to have happened.
Occasionally, such incidents saw the working paper. In January, the district attorney charged a grey student at Saucon Valley high school with cyber-harassment and ethnic intimidation for sharing a video in which the student exploited the N-word and drew gibes about welfare the inspections and KFC while filming a black student snacking chicken wings. In April, five alleged white supremacists were indicted following an FBI raid only across the county cable that officials answered discovered a conspiracy to sell pharmaceuticals, launder fund and stockpile weapons.
Over the past six months, the Guardian has been conducting interrogations in Northampton County to interrogate the characteristics of Trumps four-point victory here last-place November. Northampton is one of three Pennsylvania counties to vote twice for Barack Obama before falling for Trump. But unlike the other two such districts, Luzerne and Erie, Northampton has been adding residents and jobs, and property appreciates are up, although the local economy has not fully recovered from the close 20 years ago of the behemoth Bethlehem steel manufacturing plant.
While social tensions here, as elsewhere in the various regions of the United States, long predate Trump and his taunting hyperbole, they now are summarily attached to the president. Interviews with dozens of district residents confirm that Trumps presidential expedition, succes and gradually lengthening tenure have coincided with a perceived uptick in bias-motivated onslaughts and work.
You are looking more Confederate flags in the Trump era. You do see that, announced Lance Wheeler, chairman of the Easton, Pennsylvania, assembly of the NAACP. Does race romp such issues? I do was just thinking. I feel Trump did get beings to get out and vote who thoughts, Hey, Americas going to be great again, intend: We wont have a minority in charge again.
Incidents of sexism do not define the place, lifelong both residents and more recent advents alike are at sufferings to speak. Trump boosters in particular former steelworkers or evangelical Christians, Republican activists or service employees, former Democrats, contractors, clerks, adapts, framers, installers, operators, businesspeople, barbers have explained why they dont see racism played a role in Trumps victory in the county.
Gary Asteak, a civil rights advocate, deems one of his chickens. Picture: Mark Makela for the Guardian
People cast ballots for Trump because they did not like Hillary Clinton and were depriving for change , not out of bias, “theyre saying”. It can seem as if every former Clinton supporter in the county has a friend or many friends “whos” Trump backers, and vice versa. The US may seem to be in a eternal theatre of division and fury, but in this district, those weathering social contacts show the opposite.
And then there were those two Obama success. In 2008, Americas first black chairwoman prevailed here by 12 details, with very high voter turnout comparable to that of 2016.
Gary Asteak manages criminal defense instances for the ACLU in Easton, where he was born and has practiced law for four decades.
The Trump era gave rise to the sense that the truth doesnt problem, lies are OK, superiority and pontification are rewarded, bullying pieces, and ethnic disparagement foams to the surface, spoke Asteak, sitting on a foyer on his chicken farm in lower Nazareth, where he is township attorney. Using the N-word and other pejorative remarks become OK because the kids are sounding it at home. They think that because the crowds are applauding when Trump says throw em out, its OK to put your hands on someone.
It bubbled to the surface.
pennsylvania delineate
You had Obama , now we have Trump
The Northampton county seat, Easton, residence to Crayola crayons, is conspicuous of the states of the region for its racial and ethnic diversity. The metropolitan of 27,000 occupants is 14% African American, 14% Latino and only 67% white, compared against 88% in the county overall. Easton is home to old-fashioned, established Italian and Jewish parishes, a Lebanese community, and eastern European, Irish, German, and lily-white Anglo-Saxon Protestant communities. The Hispanic and Latino community in Easton includes Colombians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, Puerto Ricans, Costa Ricans and Cubans.
Weve always been very diverse. Thats one of our great fortes as their home communities, saidBob Freeman, who grew up in Easton and has helped as a nation representative from the city since 1982. It establishes us our vibrancy, it sacrifices us our vitality. And it also has manufactured, I guess, for a very strong, progressive Democratic defendant here.
Donald Trump lost poorly in Easton, drawing just 25% 30% of the vote in most precincts. Yet there was a tomb concerned about the fact that president Trump would be elected at the national level, mentioned Phil Davis, a clergyman who has led the Greater Shiloh Baptist Church on the citys south side for 12 years, on the ends of “his fathers” 30 -year term.
The church sits on the area of a former African American vicinity that was bulldozed in the 1970 s in a misguided slum clearance strategy, Davis said. A Sunday service might attract 1,000 people, plus other persons who watch online. The parish is 85% African American and includes each member of families who moved to the region about a hundred years ago, describe by the manufacturing boom at Bethlehem Steel and driven from countries of the south by Jim Crow-era racial oppression.

During the Trump campaign, Davis said, he had counseled multiple community members who had suffered racist criticizes at work.
It was almost as if the candidacy of Donald Trump emboldened those who may have experienced some rank of racism and precisely has not been able to had an opportunity to expression that, Davis said. There were a few occurrences, and we had to encourage tribes not to retaliate in kind, as beings were spewing abhor specific at African American folks.
You know, You had Obama , now we have Trump that kind of confrontation, that is actually drove some people mad, over why this type of demeanor was happening.
Anecdotes about such workplace strifes come up in the talks with white people in Northampton County, extremely. A former steelworker who expected not to be named told the story of a face-off with a fellow white bus move whose badmouthing of Obama intensified with the growing success of the Trump campaign.
I succeeded right out the working day and I told this one person who was really he told, you know: One missile could have solved our problems. And to me thats not a good way to talk, the former steelworker said.
I looked at him right in the eyes and I answered, You know what, you know why you dont like Obama? Because hes a[ N-word ]. Say it. Ill recollect more of you. Thats why you dont like Obama.
He lives up in the boonies, you are familiar with, the good ol boys. He just went back like this a contemptuous ripple of the handwriting he didnt want to hear that from me. Well admit it, you are familiar with?

Our system is broken
Racially accused incidents inside academies in the past year have been particularly distressing and not especially uncommon, multiple parties replied. After the video of the African American student chewing chicken ran, there was a physical dissension between the two students implied, and the African American student was charged with misdemeanor assault.
Asteak, the Easton lawyer, represented the student in the case( the student eventually registered a diversionary program and was not imprisoned ). Theres been more of a foaming undercurrent of school disorders, Asteak added. But these situations are kept under wraps. It was an unexpected situation in Saucon, where the police stepped in and charged the kid.
The episode is not shut, however. In May, the parents of the African American student produced a federal civil rights example against the school territory, alleging a failing by the school to stanch incidents of racial coercion going back to 2013.
It all starts in the home, remarked Wheeler, the NAACP president. When girls act out, when boys start wearing region buckles with the Confederate flag on it, thats all in the home. Home should be able to say, Listen, where do you get that from? Thats not in our house.

Prejudice is learnt, and learned, and depicted. Race is learned.
After news spread about the FBI raid on the white supremacist cadre in neighboring Phillipsburg, Davis said, members of the Greater Shiloh church decided to hold a revival in the city is striving to deliver some healing to the community.
I dont want to paint a picture of a city that has not worked diligently to accompany match and equality to our community, Davis continued. The trouble, I ponder, is that our organization is ended. And when the system is busted, change is very difficult.
Easton is a great, diverse municipality, Wheeler did. Theres topics out there. We cant tell that depart. Easton, its not set back. But theres some work to do.
