The cubans in florida likely agree with him. They got out of cuba so long ago they don’t consider themselves immigrants, so in classic Republican fashion, just let it sail on by.
Whiteness has a funny way of absorbing ethnicities into itself to maintain it’s privileged position under racial capitalism. You’ll find that a lot of Cubans, as long as their skin is relatively light and their accent minor/non-existent, have been white for a long time.
Sadly, I don’t think he’ll face any punishment for this. I think when he does this, he’s just revealed to us that these sentiments were already widespread. We’d like to believe that he’s misjudged where people are at, but usually his intuition is right and it is we who have misjudged, imo.
For the most part it has an opposite effect on latino immigrants. Many see new immigrants as competition. It also doesn’t help that they’re entrepreneurial, and a substantial number are Catholic and they’re anti-abortion.
It was my neighbor I was speaking with back in the day prior to the trump election.
Not only did he say that it didn’t really matter. He went so far as to agree with the not sending their best people rhetoric. So yes indeed, it’s “that other Latino.”
He told me that where his family was from things were different. The competition was hardwired. He said politically it wasn’t that far from what his family had left and he was comfortable with that as the opportunity was here.
I had moved before the kids in camps shit happened, and the putting them in foster. It would be interesting to hear if he had a change of heart. It would not surprise me to hear it did not.
So, do you think that’ll piss off the Cubans enough to lose Florida? It would be hilarious if that’s why he loses the election.

I think this is accurate.

Only as long as there are darker people to oppress
They may be in for a surprise if he wins.

Sure, I totally get the anti-immigration part, but he’s essentially calling them poison because they’re immigrants. Surely they’re not a fan of that.
He obviously means those other immigrants.
The Cuban immigrants who first left because of Castro were wealthy land owners and some slave holders.
First wave Florida Cuban immigrants especially will always throw others under the bus when it comes to immigration

He was very pro “fuck you I got mine”
Sweetest guy to me though.
