There is a rather significant thing to note: Jill Biden is not an elected official. And she apologized for messing up. Did we ever see anything culturally insensitive from Kelley’s hero? And did he ever apologize for it?
A district in Texas, which has had democrats representing them for over 100 years, suddenly voted for a Republican. Her simple platform that resonated with the voters. Faith, family and secure borders. And this rep is of Hispanic heritage. Hmmmm. Wonder what the future looks like for dem’s with this going on?
The Bidens have been bigots forever…just listen to Biden sometime…he’s said degrading comments about the people who work in the Fast Stops (turbans), poor kids vs. white kids (that was a beaut), and on and on…
I guess I’ve been culturally insensitive since I’ve said no way jose for decades. Even when I lived with a Mexican family back in the 70s and was not chastised. Said it in school and the Spanish teachers did not chastise me. When I lived in AZ, I was “taught” the words and phrases that were not to be uttered.
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people” (Time Magazine 2015). This quote from Donald Trump has become emblematic of the President’s attitude towards immigrants. Since the 2016 campaign trail, Trump has spread harmful narratives about Latinx immigrants, and his words have tangible impacts on local communities. In this thesis, I use the framework of triadic right-wing populism to analyze how President Trump characterizes Latinx immigrants as a dangerous out-group to gain political power. Then, I examine what it means to live as part of this out-group, using data I collected in a 2019 activist ethnographic study of Latinx teens from immigrant families in Apopka, Florida. I describe how native-born teens are empowered by Trump’s rhetoric to discriminate against their Latinx peers, and how in doing so, they become instruments of governmentality, teaching Latinx teens they must silence and separate themselves or face the consequences. Finally, I analyze the negative effects Latinx teens experience because of this hostile environment and suggest ways to mitigate them.
Republicans say, “if illegals can’t get in we wouldn’t have so much crime.” Democrats say, “If there weren’t so many guns we wouldn’t have mass shootings”. Illegal’s will always find a way into the USA, criminals and mass shooters will always find a way to get guns.

(snort). Okay, it is a lie and unjustified at that. But it made me chuckle.

If Republicans seize power, you can be sure they’ll investigate the h*ll out of this and impeach Jill Biden!

The fact that the article refers to us as Latinx is all I need to discard it
