Happens so often in history that the oppressed become the oppressors, we're a fucked up species.I learned something interesting the other day, know how the irish and itatian policemen became a trope? They came here with nothing and were treated like shit, alot of them ended up on the police force cracking black people's heads and earned their way into whiteness

Are you comparing "European wave" discrimination to how blacks were/are treated in the USA?USA in the 19th century is pretty damn racist againts Southern Europeans, Eastern Europeans and Irish people.
They just dont like non germanic people. Its even worst for non-white people. If you're black or asian you will be treated as second class citizens.
They don't ignore it, they think they don't mean them.This is the part that PoC that stan for this party choose to ignore right? Here it is laid out in the open...they don't want you if you aren't white.
Which is even more racist when combined with that idea"They certainly are. Give me your tired and your poor who can stand on their own two feet and who will not become a public charge."
yea we are at this point now
Because it was never actually about them being illegal. Keep in mind a lot of this shit is also happening to asylum seekers, which is a legal process. So legal latino asylum seekers= bad, but Illegal European Immigrants are just fine. Shit's fucked upI was in NY for a few days until today, back in Dublin now. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with some Latino friends in Brooklyn about how angry it makes me that Irish people who are illegal in the US get granted status all the time while brown people are held in concentration camps at the border.
Fuck this mentality.

Actually this ridiculous thing comes from a 2013 WSJ article.Depicted: Huddled masses yearning to breathe free (circa 2016, colorized)
Dunno, the people on the far right don't look European enough for the inscription.

So, only NA/Canada (Australia) and Europe exist I guess. No South America, Africa or Asia.
'Interesting' perspective.
