And there it is. Latinos will never be considered American, or white as many of them want to be considered.
Irish Americans weren't white until they repressed black people and immigrants as cops. The Italian Americans faced a similar dilemma. Then they were a huge part of the US forces fighting the NAZIs and suddenly Italian was white.
White is not a biology. It is a social group designed to suppress black Americans and new immigrants.
If an immigrant group that is demonized works for the US and white supremacy they become "white". And then all the sudden the slurs and hate they faced because of their ethnicity becomes their white "struggle for freedom".
People of Latino origin will become white. Asian folks have a tougher road on that front, though.
Similar to how black Americans are set to be screwed forever as long as any ethnic groups join together to be a majority called white.
White should be abolished.
Yeppers. Race is a social construct, not a biological one.
It's times like these I wonder if Iranians are white or asian.
Not with those names
