[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is beyond getting rid of affirmative action. They are talking about ANY student activities related to race/DEI.  No Asian or AA student unions. AA frats or sororities? What about women’s organizations? This is stupid.  [/quote]

You don’t need any of those things. Just be inclusive to everyone. [/quote]

Have you met MAGAs?[/quote]

Unfortunately, yes. 
My husband has wealthy white Southern parents. I was well aware before MAGA that these Republicans have been going MAGA for awhile. The “Heritage not Hate” justification 30 years ago for keeping the Confederate flag up on top of the South Carolina state house? The same Confederate flag that was put up in the 1960s to object to the Civil Rights Bill?
If you talked to any Republican back then they kept claiming “it’s history!” knowing darn well they were giving a middle finger to African Americans….

This white MAGA/far right Republicans/ radical Christian group will tell you one thing to save face, and laugh behind your back and do another. They have been this way for hundreds of years.[/quote]

It feels like a pattern that will never be broken in America.[/quote]

Yes, because white people have no problems blaming the bogeyman for all of the country's problems but won't empty their own closets of hoods, capes, and low hanging branches, both literal and figurative. I've yet to meet a white person, who isn't being paid to speak about it, talk about how it's shameful that their southern ancestors (i.e, blood ancestors) grabbed a few people and strung them up. I mean google images "public lynchings" and the pictures with 1000s of people participating are horrifying. These people and their offspring are walking amongst us now. They must number in the tens (or hundreds) of thousands. [/quote]

1. Almost none of “these people” walk among us today. The vast majority are dead.

2. Do you hold every child responsible for the sins of their parents? For example, do you despise Latinos for their history of human sacrifice and slavery? Japanese for their brutality against native populations in WWII? Palestinians for their collaboration with Hitler?

Or is this a special standard that you only apply to “white people”?[/quote]

[b]None of these other groups are in the US[/b] trying to pretend their history doesn’t exist and trying to hide it.[/quote]

Come on. 🤦

“Latino” or “hispanic” is it’s own category (rather than spaniard or indigenous South American) because the Spaniards who colonized what is now Latin America took indigenous wives. There was so much genetic mixing that we just say “Latino” and assume everyone speaks Spanish. Look up colorism in Latin America. It’s the equivalent of how the U.S.’s racism.

Brazil is huge and they speak Portuguese.   Latin American is a common way to describe a person living in South America.    They do have prejudices against people in other countries but kind of like your Northeast states vs Southern states.   One thing most of them have in common is a mutual dislike for Argentinians.   [/quote]

You don't know what you are talking about.[/quote]
