It’s not racist to point out the systematic racism of a federal agency. Or do you think ICE is deporting white citizens?
My friend’s wife finally got her citizenship because of all this nonsense. My wife (though not brown) is seriously considering it as well. There are many others.
At this point, opposing ICE is not about being in favor of illegal immigration, it’s about being against an abusive government agency.
Edit: to anyone doubting that ICE is racist, I propose an experiment. Leaving all of your identification at home (perfectly legal), ride the bus to, say, Nogales, AZ and then back home. Now go ask a hispanic-looking US citizen friend to join you on this journey and see what they say.
- malvosenior 8y agoWhat is racist is classifying all “brown people” together and speaking for Hispanics. You should stop doing that.
- mikeash 8y agoI’m not the one doing the classifying. But of course, in 2018, targeting and abusing people based on their looks or ancestry is considered “not racism,” while calling out people who do it is classified as “racism.”
