“There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico” [Video]

“And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country.” [Video]

“Heck yeah. That’s cool, a Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that? A lampshade? …I’m just kidding. That’s one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun. We carved watermelons together.” [Video]

Yeah, it's just pandering to the crowd at this point. They can bring these people up and have him say vile things and pretend it's not what they really believe because, "comedian." It's not even a dogwhistle anymore. They are saying these things in the open.

And still about 50% of Latino men will still vote for Trump because they aspire to be white and want to prove that they are "not like the other Hispanics." They want to be "one of the good ones."

(The lasting legacy of Catholicism/colonialism is white worship. The same applies to Vietnamese-Americans and Filipinos as well)

Don't act surprised if this guy gets elected and all of the stuff they've been saying out loud (but saying it's a joke because its an election and they need useful idiots to vote for them) becomes reality.

No, you aren't "one of the good ones." You are brown. You aren't one of them. You never will be.

This is what they think of us.
