As Donald Trump dominates the GOP nomination race and some of his inflammatory comments find favor with the party faithful, CBS News measured how the public feels about his “poisoning the blood” language. A striking number of voters agree with this description of immigrants who enter the U.S. illegally, and among Republicans, associating the remarks with Trump himself makes them even likelier to agree.
Trump’s mother and two of his three wives (who birthed four children) are immigrants
European immigrants. They’re keeping their eye on the ball - racial purity.
You guys didn’t used to count people with names like Ivana or Melania as ‘white’
This is why Critical Race Theory needs to be taught in schools. Think of how far from fascism we would be if we all learned in primary school how “white” excluded the Irish, Italian, Jewish, etc. until it was useful to include them against people of color.
CRT gets pretty dense from what I’ve seen of it. I definitely think dismantling the concept of race itself and teaching the humanities more seriously are definitely must-haves - I just think that CRT in primary school might a bit early. In the US at least.
Edited to provide alittle more clarity.
Nazi race theory changed multiple times throughout the war depending on which way the wind was blowing. It’s a feature, not a bug.
Right now white supremacy is a somewhat disparate ideology, so they can’t be too picky about who is and isn’t white. That comes after they seize power and make headway in driving out or killing off the targeted opposition.
But they’re white immigrants so that makes them okay.
… breathes sigh of relief.
