Who is them? White people, right? Not the individuals who did a thing, but everyone who shares a similar amount of melanin to anyone who did a thing. So Croatian-Americans who came to the country in the 1980's? Italians, Irish and Jews from the early 1900's? Arabs and Hispanics who are considered white?
So yeah, that's racist. In fact it's the exact same logic the Stormfront crowd uses to blame all black people for the elevated violent crime rates, which are perpetrated by a tiny fraction of the black community. It is racist in both cases, don't make assumptions about people based on their skin color. This should be easy.
- eesmith 5y agoYou seem to be so fixated on your personal interpretation that you are unable to read normal English. The antecedent to "them" is in the previous sentence: the white politicians who passed the laws that prevented black people from immigrating to those states, and the white politicians who passed laws preventing black people from living in so-called Sundown towns. Those are specific people, with specific names, if you wanted to look up the legislative record. This certainly is NOT "white people". This is a question about history. In US history, Mexicans, as an example of "Hispanics", WERE NOT CONSIDERED WHITE. Had you read the Wikipedia example of Sundown towns you would have seen "No Mexicans After Night". Had you read the Wikipedia page on CRT you would have seen LatCRT as a subfield of CRT, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Latino_critical_race_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Latino_cr... . Since you don't seem to understand the history, don't seem to track down relevant references, and since I can't seem to make myself understood, I see no point in continuing this discussion
