So basically, being an immigrant or a PoC precludes being a xenophobe or ethno-nationalist. That's what I thought.

- danans 6y agoBeing an immigrant makes you much less likely to be a xenophobe, and being a POC in the US makes you much less likely to be an ethno-nationalist. The Bay Area has a high representation of both immigrants and POCs, so statistically lower representation of xenophobes and ethno-nationalists. However, nothing precludes an individual of either or both of those groups from being xenophobes or ethno-nationalists. This isn't inconsistent. These aren't absolute categories, but rather categories of statistical likelihood. When you are talking about the entire population of a region - there are no absolutes, just likelihoods over large numbers.
