Ever see how whites fare at blm rallies?

I have no truck with white supremacists but you can expect trouble if you covering it and don’t match.

Perhaps, the NPR black journalists are actually not equal. Being a position occupying figurehead does not require equality.

Lying racist race baiters being treated as they deserve and it’s “news” that they cry about not being given a free pass because....they’re of color and they deserve to be taken as honest upstanding citizens being wronged by the White Privilege crowd.....

Well, peculiar...all these “reporters” and “digital reporters” and not one single film of their racist attacks they so eloquently lie about.

Most Latinos here are white and they usually do ok but vote wrong and have somewhat higher negative cultural indicators than non Hispano whites

On most measures of achievement or lack thereof, "Hispanics" are between whites and blacks, but often closer to blacks. This includes crime statistics, literacy/education level, income and net worth, etc.

There are exceptions - those from Cuba and South America tend to do quite well and have nothing in common with the degraded urban Chicano culture.

She’s an honorary person of color because she was undocumented for so many years.

“Gus Contreras, a digital producer and reporter with KERA in Dallas, Texas, is a first-generation American from El Paso.”

“A woman asked whether he is an “anchor baby” because “a lot of people take advantage of the system,” Contreras said. “I was kind of mad after, but I just put it to the side and went on to the other interview,” he said.”

“But Contreras, whose father was deported to Mexico in 2015...”

Sounds like Contreras got “kind of mad” because he IS an anchor baby and that woman nailed it.

I know, racism sucks. I can’t go to vast sections of most major cities because I am white.
