They are idiots. My family is full of Latinos who pull the ladder from behind. They also think they could be on the same level as white people. Nope.

    History is filled with people who were promised that we would pretend they were white if they just sold out everyone they cared about. Hasn't actually paid off yet.

    The Irish might be an exception there. See How the Irish became White by Noel Ignatiev.

    People forget it was only like a century ago when Irish and Italians weren't white enough for the wasps.

    similar, my family is all MAGA, they don't even live in America, they aren't Americans, but absolutely adore MAGA.

    Due to abusive ex, I live in the states fighting for my life to get a greencard so I don't lose my daughters. My family is still MAGA.
