The billionaire also told the outlet that he plans to vote for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley in the Texas GOP primary Tuesday as “a protest vote against Trump,” but that he would still support the current president versus the former one.

    Yes, we’re a nation of mostly immigrants. It is very common to refer to someone’s nation of origin.

      So are all the other countries of America, a good chunk of southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. You’re not a unique snowflake in having immigrants.

      Though you might be on to something. At least in my home country of Brazil, immigrants and locals readily mix (because we’re all Brazilians anyway). In the US everyone is compartmentalized and segregated so it doesn’t happen. Why do you do that? Why are mixed parentage persons so rare in the US? What choices do you make that lead to that?

      Anywhere else when someone says “my husband is German” it means what is written. What does it mean in the US? What function is served by fixating on heritage?

        Short answer is genocide of native people combined with racism against Black people.

        Mixed-race marriage, neighborhoods and schools were illegal in the US, in some way or another, for over 300 years. The US Supreme Court did not rule it unconstitutional until 1967.

        The US state of Alabama did not officially remove their laws against mixed-race marriage until year 2000.

        You’re clearly upset, but for the life of me I can’t find any reason to care why. There’s nothing offensive about calling someone Cuban when they are from Cuba. It’s not like I said I wasn’t sure if they were talking about you or Marc Dipshit. Take a a deep breath, gather all that hate you have for America, bend at the knees, and blow it out your ass.

          Commands the guy that says I’m upset. Every accusation a confession with you lot.
