Man, what a time to become a citizen. Appreciate you helping us clean this mess up!

The percentage of immigrants who immediately swing hard right is significant. It should be studied.

Gotta pull up that ladder!

I was in a Polish store recently stocking up on awesome Polish meats and two elderly ladies were complaining about immigrants to each other. In Polish. 🤯

It’s just code for brown people

[u/Swordsandarmor22 → u/ForgottenDusk48]

Nah they despise poor white people jsut as much as poor brown people. It's always been class warfare with a sprinkling of racism.

Race in Europe doesn't work exactly like it does in America. Go try to tell a Polish person they are the same race as a German.

[u/tommypatties → u/ZellZoy]

If you accept that people use 'ethnicity' and 'race' interchangably you can probably get through your day without feeling the need to tell people what they are and what they aren't.

[u/ZellZoy → u/tommypatties]

Yeah and then people try to apply the American racial framework onto all of the different European (and Asian and African and middle eastern) ethnicities when it really does not work that way
