It's just fun to see people repeat history and not grasp the irony. I don't understand how people can brush off such simple facts. I guess it's "white exceptionalism". Our ancestors shouldn't have had to face discrimination (even though they were considered "black" in their time). It's different for these brown people here because reasons. Or "I don't like people who aren't like me, they need to speak english", etc etc. It's one of the forms of racism that you can be overt about, even make part of a major political platform, and no one bats an eye. It's strange to think about. That anyone is concerned about "legal status", or not having papers, is a poor cloak for anyone who pays attention.
