    Trump and Ivanka always have a fake smile ready at a moments notice, but Dumb and Dumber always look like it’s the first time they’ve ever seen a camera and are mystified by this sorcery that flashes light at them.

      European whites have always hated and fought each other, see a little thing called all of European history. It’s only when European have common enemies, they kind of unite.

      That’s what they mean when say someone is or isn’t a “real” American. Skin tone is the deciding factor for them.

      Their roots are not aristocratic, they were poor or middle class immigrants who came to the U.S. and made money https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump

They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

      Many Trump supporters seem to tolerate some European—particularly west, north, and central European—immigrants for some reason.

          I see little nuance.

          Those who oppose immigration are generally, at least to varying degrees, bigots.

          Non-indigenous have little moral say on this issue.

    Please stop giving Germany more of a bad name. We already have Hitler to be associated with the country, even though he was Austrian. We
    also have enough fascist pieces of shit of our own. We vehemently deny any “germanness” in these sleazy con artists and fascists.

    There’s a lot of white people who don’t see Europeans emigrating to the US as immigrants; because white people are generally from Europe. It’s absolutely absurd and misses the point of what an immigrant is.

      Canada needs to slow its immigration so that infrastructure can catch up.

    Technically, colonialists are not “immigrants”. Regardless, if we go by first settlers then it’s the English since they settled first in 1587. First German settlers didn’t arrive till 1628, and when the U.S. was formed these disparate groups combined together to form a better front for fighting. Germans fought on both sides. If these different settler groups didn’t have a common enemy (the Natives or English), they would have started fighting each other. In fact, that’s why we still see remnants of the US civil war to this day.

            I’m not a soup-erman myself, but a soup in summer would have to be spicy. Maybe with some ramen in there.

            Hmmm sometimes I want to live the settler experience, do what they did and eat what they did. Form the U.S., gain independence etc etc

            Edit to clarify, I mean go back in time and do that, but definitely without enabling genocides. War ruins everything

      immigrate /ĭm′ĭ-grāt″/ intransitive verb

      To enter and settle in a country or region to which one is not native.

      Yes colonists are immigrants. Everyone in North and South America are immigrants (even those that came by the bering land bridge).

        I guess that fair to some extent, the distinction I’ve made in the past is that people who were “settling” for a crown or a state were colonialists (see Spanish conquistadors, for example), and those who sought asylum from religious persecution or poverty were immigrants. I think if the French and English crown had not started wars in the early 1600s, the later English arrivals (think Plymouth Rock, not Jamestown) would have probably had a better time getting along with the Native Americans. But who can say now 🤷‍♀️
