    It’s just the none white foreigners he was mad about, dude should have clarified his position…

    I dunno, Brexiters seemed to have a lot of trouble with the Polish.

      Don’t forget them “Romanian” Gypsies!

      It’s a crying shame really, because if they’d sat down and spoke to a Romanian, they’d find that hatred of gypsies is one of the few things they’ve got in common.

      “White” has a very flexible definition depending on the racism du jour. In the US, plenty of Europeans, like Irish, Spanish, and Italian people weren’t considered “white” for a long time.

      But now we’ve got plenty of brown and black people to be even more racist against, so they get to be “white” these days.

        Well of course. Race is a social construct, how we define races depends entirely on the society and its prejudices.
