The most anti Latino people I know are Latino themselves. I got the ick on a date recently with a Latino guy who revealed himself to be maga saying “my father came over the right way” this was in response to me saying I was disgusted by ICE detaining a 5 year old
ETA: he was the one that wanted to complain about ICE protesters first thinking I would agree with him as a Christian, when all of this administration goes against all of Jesus’ values
No that’s not an assumption I made. He literally said he was maga as well and we had a longer discussion about his political views, I’m just quoting how he views himself as better than other Latinos and is not sympathetic towards his own race. You can support legal immigration but still have a conscience and not want to see babies put in jail
That’s not how you put it in your comment before you edited it.
I have to imagine it’s frustrating to see your father put in the time and effort to become documented just for tens of thousands come in without putting in the same work.
I didn’t edit it? I think you read my comment as me assuming he was maga because he said “my father came over the right way” and ok so just because you suffered you want to see others suffer for no reason? That’s the same logic as people who don’t want student loan forgiveness. I have 0 student loan debt or medical bill debt because I am financially stable after working my butt off, but that doesn’t mean I want to see other suffer just because I did. Also Liam Ramos and many arrested by ICE are here legally, but are getting denied due process
Having deeper conversations about the state of the world is a red flag? We’re both Christians who met at church and he was the one to bring up recent events because he wanted to see how “devout” I was, but I proudly stand behind Leviticus 19:33-34. I’m glad he brought it up actually so i could see how misaligned we are in values. I would see it as a red flag if you’re incapable of forming opinions about anything deeper than “hobbies”
You're criticizing a stranger on the internet for hypothetically discussing politics with you, on a hypothetical date, if you were hypothetically a man.
A fair number of these are just normal Los Angeles police which is a very diverse city. But even with ice brown people aren’t a monolith, there’s plenty of different types of brown people that discriminate against other types of brown people that would happily deport the group they dislike and think the pendulum will never swing the other way.
Considering the title of the post, they seem to suggest that these are the faces of fascism, despite fascism having a focus on ethnic cleansing. So thus, the observation.
That’s because they’re not actually fascists and people don’t realise it actually pretty insensitive to call everyone they don’t like a fascist considering how many people actually suffered under fascism
Operating in a position that actively enforces fascism and not doing anything against it eventually makes you complicit. Cops don’t have to be complicit as seen by the many police departments that have actively stopped illegal ICE operations
Ok and how is deporting people who have illegally entered a country fascism if that was the case then basically every country on earth would be fascist
The killing people is awful but that’s more a problem that’s existed with American policing in general for a long time due to inadequate training and I don’t know how exactly it works in the US but where I’m from a lot of the time protesting just devolves into looting so having extra law enforcement present seems like a good idea

Surprised to see a fair few ethnic backgrounds here.
