There are two kinds of immigrants to the U.S.: there are poor immigrants who come to work low-paying manual and menial labor jobs because they are incredibly impoverished in their home countries, and there are wealthy reactionaries who come to the U.S. to take advantage of their already high position in society, or to flee Socialist reforms.

Instead of a Liberal, identity politics-based understanding of immigration and "racial tolerance" we should have a class-based one. Working-class Indians, like working-class Americans and other working-class immigrants, deserve our solidarity. But Bourgeoise (and Professional-Managerial Class) Indians, at least in our current material circumstances, do not.

This isn't a solid thing - just as solidarity can be found with some Bourgeoise Arabs in the U.S. under our current material conditions, a future condition may make an alliance with Bourgeoise Indian immigrants worthwhile. But currently, it is clear they are firmly entrenched in the camp of Western finance capital.

I appreciate the intent but in practice isn't this just opening the door and allowing racists to launder their vile bullshit?

that's always a concern. like there's a certain kind of white person who likes saying gusano too much, but the Fuentes types don't have a class analysis.

[-] frisbird@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago

You do realize that most gusanos are white, right? Like, I know they speak Spanish but they're descended from white Europeans who spoke Spanish, they were displaced by movements that were anti-owning class because they were in or adjacent to the owning class (which was white, btw), And they moved to the center of empire for protection because.... they're white.

Do you undersrand the racial history of this country and how dangerous this ‘class based’ race discrimination rhetoric is?

[-] puppygirlpets@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

it is also dangerous to ignore class in your analysis

Literally just an excuse to be racist against Indians because then you’ll just say ‘oh 90% of them are high caste anyways’ when they’re taken away by a political group you think are anti-liberal.

I guess we can just start being racist against Jews because they tend to be wealthy?
