    For these people, brown skin = Mexican. Kind of like how they attacked Sikhs after 9/11.

    They don’t actually care about the difference, they just want to hurt brown people.

      Appropriate given how many Southwest Natives were forced south of the border during the Indian Wars and subsequent colonization campaigns.

      Quite a few Mexican families can trace their lineage to the OG American People.

        I had a Philippine friend who kept getting called Mexican in high school, and the same people who said that are voting for Trump. Extract from that what you will.

          Wealthy protestant cis white male.

          There really is no limit to refining the in-group, because at the end of the day, every conservative imagines themselves as the very center of the in group.
