Racists are not about nuance.
See 0bama....
If everyone is treated the same, point out how bad that is for people who are different.
If people are treated differently, point out how bad it is that they’re not treated the same.
This is true. I’m seeing it with my Latino students. They like white culture, they speak English, avoid Spanish, and quite a few of them are conservative. They’re pro-military, anti-abortion, and firmly believe in 2 genders. They tolerate Shakespeare and opera and country music pretty well. And they LOVE Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro.
“A hundred years ago, Catholic, Orthodox and Jewish immigrants pouring into Ellis Island were considered to be of different “races” by white Anglo-Saxon Protestant elites.”
No, they were not considered different races. There have been people from all three of these groups in America since at least the Revolution. This is a variant of the “Irish weren’t considered white” lie. It is part of an effort to deconstruct the idea of white people in order to erase them from the face of the Earth. The earliest immigration law in the United States opened it to free white persons of good character. That’s the Naturalization Act of 1790.
“the mixture of many non-whites into the white group through voluntary assimilation.”
You see this in NYC a lot if you look past superficialities...which liberals never do.
I imagine the stats will get a little weird, as many ambitious light skinned Hispanics and Asians are now marking themselves down as white. And there is zero resentment from whites to their doing this, as those that do tend to be hard working, educated and respectable.
This is only true if you claim “hispanics” not an ethnic group, are not White. You’d have to claim this even though many of them are.....y’know......White.
My best friend’s cousin married a former cheerleader for our university (the lucky bastage). She’s blonde haired and blue eyed and looks like Hitler’s perfect aryan ideal - certainly more than I do. Her dad is from Indiana. She was born in and grew up in the states. Oh but her mom....her mom you see is Venezuelan. Oh sure she is upper class Venezuelan and her family may have been from frikkin’ Scandanavia for all I know but because of that, the daughter counts as “hispanic”.
Take a wild guess which box their kids are going to check. Why the hell would you check White when hispanic brings you benefits like easier admissions and potentially scholarships while White does not?
My niece just married a guy from Chile. His family was from Spain several generations ago. Admittedly, he does have a little bit of a Mediterranean complexion though he’s certainly a lot less swarthy than a lot of other ethnic Southern Europeans I’ve seen. Obviously their kids are going to check the “hispanic” box too - they’d be fools to do otherwise.
Of course in both of the instances I outlined, they’re all....y’know.....White. And they’d all tell you that too. That describes many of the “hispanics” in the US. Leftists are just so obsessed with being anti-White that they have to make up a whole separate category for people who are White to try to claim that they’re not.
Maybe it’s just me, but I “see” everyone (Asians, Latinos, Natives, folks from the middle East, etc.) as white, with the exception of Africans. I see those of African heritage as non-white. I never think of people as “brown”, but rather just a darker skinned white person. Weird, I know.
We’re all mutts.

Ban on third world immigration for 100 years should do it...
