This is what happens when you buy into the dog whistle narrative that Trumps immigration rhetoric was “only” targeted towards the (imaginary) “bad hombres” who were taking over the country and putting drug cartels on every corner.
And that by buying into this “bad hombre” racist respectability politic bullshit, you thought that were somehow protecting your family from said racism.
That somehow racists will value your family over all the other families that they hate, (and are separating) based on race, due to your proximity to whiteness.
History tells us that proximity to whiteness not only isn’t a protectant, but often makes marginalized folks bigger targets.
Racism doesn’t defend or protect against racism, and respectability politics really only works to benefit white supremacy – sorry to tell you.
“good people”
Just a hot ass mess.
If by “good people” they mean “ascribing to white indicators of success” he sure did check all of the boxes. So what does this prove, whiteness doesn’t actually care if you do what they demand. At the end of the day you’re an “other”
