>I don’t disagree with the characterization of ICE officers as racist thugs

50% of Border Patrol agents are Latino. Believing the delusion that they're racist White rednecks is buying into propaganda.

Are you suggesting all racists are White rednecks? Racist systems are capable of absorbing contributions from all kinds of people. Whiteness has repeatedly expanded over time.

Leftist have suggested and stated that only White people can be racist.

>Whiteness has repeatedly expanded over time.

Unscientific term.

Even if that was true, and relevant to their capacity to be racist thugs, Border Patrol is a unit of Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—and CBP is a different entity from ICE, at the same organizational level within the Department of Homeland Security—so it would still be a non-sequitur.

It is true.

Only White people can be racist remember?

>Border Patrol is a unit of Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—and CBP is a different entity from ICE, at the same organizational level within the Department of Homeland Security—so it would still be a non-sequitur.

Not at all, 30% of ICE agents are Latino, and we were told Border Patrol and ICE are White redneck neo-Nazi racist thugs. Surprise, that delusion is objectively false given these figures. QED.

50% of the Latino population in the US are White Hispanic solely or in combination.

The idea that only "white rednecks" can be racist certainly is interesting.

That reminds me of the California Recall vote. Larry Elder being called the Black Face of White Supremacy.
