      If you think that you’d be treated differently entering USA in undesignated point of entry… You’d be right. If you didn’t get shot on the spot, you’d rot in jail for decades until somebody decides to deal with your case.

          Don’t know if you’ve heard but the US has been arresting white German citizens lately

              The US is not a safe place for anyone especially POC.

              That’s the accurate statement. Yes ICE/Border Patrol are disproportionately targeting POC, but they’re not stopping there.

              Like I didn’t say this earlier because in context it was irrelevant and I hate having to write lengthy comments that discuss every part of a large complex issue, but here we are.

                Lol. I’m white passing. I can tell you with certainty that the danger is disproportionately aimed at one side of the Melanin scale. (It isn’t the side I inhabit, btw.)

                  Okay cool you can say that as much as you want, but there are documented cases demonstrating that this effects everyone in the US or attempting to enter.

                  I even acknowledged already that POC are disproportionately affected in my last comment. Why are you trying to manufacture an argument?
