    Some abuelas hate the gays and trans

    And when MAGA says “don’t worry we just want to get rid of those criminal immigrants, you know the ones”, some naive as fuck immigrants are like “oh yeah I know who you’re talking about, I hate those guys too”, not realizing it’s a blanket “all of you” thing.

    I used to know this Columbian woman. Absolutely said foul shit about Mexican people, worse than your average white racist. Thought she was better and cleaner than them. These sorts think they’re in good company with MAGA.

    People say America has a racism problem, and sure, we do, but people are strangely and humorously ignorant about how racist the rest of the world is. They’re next level, and they don’t even acknowledge it’s bad. They’re just like “no wait this isn’t racism, you don’t understand, those people are just bad and dirty and steal”.

      Yeah my family and coworkers are like this. “You wouldn’t like it if someone broke in to your house and started living there while you give them money to do so” type shit

      What all this has told me is there are a lot of people that can be very kind to their circle of friends and family, but have zero empathy for people they don’t know or relate to.
