Anyone else notice that “white ethnics” are more maga than DAR/mayflower/wasp types?

All the blacks, etc. in the DAR and on the Mayflower?

No, don’t be dense, I mean about the various cultural subcategories of blacks, Latinos, etc

People talk about that all the time -- Latinos growing more conservative, etc.

I’m talking about subcategories. There are, as I’m sure you know, many different groups called “Latino.” Different occupational patterns, countries of origin, recency of immigration, on and on.

Most people are smart enough to break away Cuban immigrants and their descendants because the experience is vastly different thanks the the Cuban adjustment act.

height of hypocrisy for Cubans to support a policy that curtails others claiming refugee status.

Every single white person I know claims that their family came from the Mayflower and they have some fake family tree to prove it. My Japanese grandmother came on the Mayflower too.

Or adjustee status.

Imagine if someone has started a thread wondering if blacks who descended from slaves were more "fill in the blank" than blacks that immigrated.

It would be shut down in a hot second.

Seriously. I can't even believe this thread - "white ethnics"?

[Anonymous]

Side question: What's the consensus on blacks who descended from slaves? Are they more "fill in the blank" than blacks that immigrated?

DP. Please. As if I'm going to take direction from some random woman who is telling others how to identify while at the same time, insisting that no one tell her how to identify. What an idiot. I'm white and I'm a Jew and she'll just have to deal with the millions of others who feel the same way. Amazing, the arrogance here.

"Nobody has the right to try and make Jews, or any other Middle Eastern people, feel they “need” to fit into the “neat” Western categories of religion and race. Nobody has the right to force Jews into identifying as white people when they are clearly not. As for Jews who identify as white without being forced to do so – please decolonize your identities and understand that the identity your claim to express is a falsification of who you really are."

EXACTLY. Let's all pause for a moment to consider the outrage if this thread was about "spicy Latinos" or "black ethnics" or whatever insulting, othering term liberals can come up with next.

DP. The PP knows exactly what you mean. I had a comment deleted once when I referred to an "urban populace" - I thought that was a nicer term than "inner-city blacks," but now I see it's simply referring to black people that is not accepted. Only white people are allowed to be sorted and divided.

Interesting you keep ducking the Cuban Adjustment Act question. I suppose it's just a coincidence.

Very, very, very, very few Mayflower/DAR eligible types are MAGA. They don't have to be.

MAGA is (mostly) for angry, lower middle class white men (not that there's anything wrong with any of those categorizations) who are convinced someone's "taking" something from them.

And that's exactly what the GOP has tapped into and promoted - that the "other" is responsible for their miserable lives.

Which is justified.

Lets see. Dems favor stronger union rights, higher minimum wages, national health insurance, etc, all of which benefit working class Americans.

No. Fewer jobs do not benefit working class Americans.
