      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?

                  Unfortunately it’s hard to tell it’s a joke these days when my country is being an absolute shithole and doing these bad things.

                  You could have started by saying you meant it as a joke. Tone doesn’t translate to text
