Not everyone thinks this, but I know an extreme right-winger who thinks this. He is also a conspiracy theorist who thinks non-white people are out to get white people so, yeah, odd.
Not every immigrant is illegal or bad. I know a girl who didn’t speak English for 3 years when her family legally immigrated, so of course she’s been told this.
Yesterday, at a park, I saw some Patriot Front (a neonazi group) posters on two adjacent polls. One was something about the “American spirit” descending from “European blood”. The other said “America is for Americans”. Without a hint of irony.
As if Europeans didn’t immigrate but just popped out of the ground here, or something?
Racists aren’t known for their critical thinking skills.
Oh i have no doubt they tell native Americans to go back where they came from. Especially folks like Tejanos who speak Spanish and used to be Mexican.
those people are looking for something to hate. This is also why those kind of people are deadend for humanity. If they get rid of all immigrants they will find some other group to hate and after getting rid of those they will find another again until there are only 2 people that want to kill eachother, if you excuse the hyperbole.
For a moment I was like wtf…then I saw this was on no stupid questions
Racism, that answer is racism… No need to over analyse this
Your first mistake is assuming logic has anything to do with it.
Racism.
That’s i t.
That’s literally it.
- Not all US cirizens feel this way. Convict47 won by 1.5%, with 19 million less voters Thant the previous time. Voter suppression won this election.
- And for the ones that feel this way, you’ve got it absolutely right, plain old ignorant racism.
It is ethnic cleansing, pure and simple.
Short answer is “propaganda”. News agencies against immigration will pretty regularly swap between “illegal immigrants”, “immigrants”, and <insert current target race here> as if they’re practically interchangable to build whatever narrative they want, and also to slowly build an association between ‘people of <insert race>’, ‘being a drain on society’, and ‘being here illegally’ to get the average person to side with them.
Because that would involve a level of logic and critical thinking well beyond them.
Because we have an idiot problem over here right now. The person you know is an idiot.
the logic is that they think white people deserve the land more. Its plain old racism.
“Shouldn’t that logic apply to…”
One must remember that people aren’t logical. They’re hypocritical and willfully ignorant.
That’s the great thing about racism, it doesn’t have to make sense!
Racism?
No, thanks!
You assume logic is behind their reasoning, that’s where you went wrong
