Don't worry. The fascist regime will be issuing counterfeit passes to anyone who wants one.

Really, it's racist to say that only black people can use it. /s

Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren't stupid). They justify it by saying "it's just a trashy person of any color". So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don't think they've tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation

I hear that insane take from the same people that say BLM was Antifa’s terrorist movement.

Already handing out rape passes, it’s only a matter of days.

Yup, lets just keep pointing fingers so we never learn anything.

Liberals are literally scapegoating minorities instead of criticizing the DNC.

This is how you divide your competition.

Sorry, I'm a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don't really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?

EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I'm even more confused as I see people mentioning "hispanic americans" as a synonym for "latino". This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I'm not really sure about what I'm trying to say.

Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don't see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don't feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.

Why doesn't working class matter? Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.

Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly voted to pull the ladder up behind them

It's OK they will learn all sorts of new slurs from police, ICE, border patrol, people at Walmart

Yeah fuck minorities! It's their fault the democrats lost and no one else's, least of all the democrats themselves!

[–] nature_man@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
