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.

Somehow there was never any inter ethnic strife in the USA after prior mass waves of German, Irish, Italian, and eastern European immigration. Nope, this whole division is a brand new thing.

Oh please. White americans dont divide by their great-grandparents nationality. Literally no one cares.

Are you from the north east?

Uhh…it’s asked all the time

Cubans vs Mexicans is a massive discussion point in voting patterns within the Latino diaspora

Within Indians there is a stark Divide between Punjabis and South Indians (the former vote Republican way more often)

Within Asians you have fancy Asians vs jungle Asians (the former are way more Dems but trending r ….the lattter are more r relatively speaking)

Good luck moving forward.

Real liberals don’t call people “ethnics”. Was OP born in 1935?

I'm guessing you never lived in a heavily Italian area?

I'm one of these "ethnic whites" but I'll never admit it in real life. I cant stand these "Im not a regular white person, my family is really Irish" people. No, fool, drinking beer and liking green things isnt your ethnicity and youve never been to the UK.

The funny thing is that if you hang out with a non UMC multiracial group you will hear more straight talk in 10 minutes about these kinds of issues than in a lifetime of DC cocktail parties.

And still, nothing on the Cuban Adjustment Act. Typical.

This thread is proof that many liberals are ultra obsessed with identity politics.

Good luck moving forward.

There are approximately 10 Million Americans who are descendants from the original Mayflower immigrants. 35 Million worldwide. There are approximately 17 Million Americans that claim partial or sole Italian heritage.

Thoughts? Isn’t this the exact opposite of 20-30 years ago?

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.

+100. Meanwhile, the GOP's true power/money base plays these MAGA donkeys like a fiddle.

Look over there, a CRT drag queen in a sombrero! It ain't right!

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.
