So, my dad and uncle both dislike immigrants and think they’re all undocumented. Also, my uncle thinks only white people exist in Europe and he “likes it that way” despite it not being true.

Also, my uncle wishes the U.S., where I live, would be all-white and our ancestors are immigrants too because we’re not Native Americans.

Weird…

Like, they’re also fine with white immigrants (my dad), but my uncle hates all immigrants and they’re always like “Speak English!” when they hear a Hispanic person talk…

    Spanish people are white.

    Read about the origins of racism and race science. Racism, as we know it, was articulated about 650 years ago by a scholar in Portugal. We all live under that specific and concrete historical process of racism. It became entwined into every aspect of our lives over 600 years.

    It’s not a surprise, it’s the water we swim in. It’s what we pushed onto the rest of the world.
