You can be anti billionaire and still not be a fuckass racist

> You can be anti billionaire and still not be a fuckass racist

Genuinely, if you can't handle discussing a basic political disagreement without becoming apoplectic, you should take a breath and wait to respond. This is the opposite of what HN is for.

You've been downvoted for being reasonable (I gave you an upvote). The histrionics in these threads are way over the top, and it's sad to see.

I apologize for not wording things as pleasantly as the guy who wants people thrown in camps.

Immigrant isn't a race.

Mass deportations are being conducted mostly on the basis of race. The accusation of blatant racism, come from police chiefs, from judges, as well as everybody experiencing the mass deportation. And the accusation of racism isn't that immigrants are a race, but the exact racial discrimination in who gets kidnapped and disappeared by masked men that are indistinguishable from criminals.

Care to share your stats?

This sounds like more of "I don't like this president, therefore what he's doing is wrong"

I have what I stated in my comment. You are free to dismiss the experiences of whoever you want, of course, including Trump-friendly police chiefs, by dismissing them as "they must not like Trump and therefore lie." But that is quite a biased way to experience the world. Especially when Trump's own words about which immigrants he wants to get rid of. It's bias in service of a "fairness" that even the benefactor doesn't ask for. So why we exhibit such extreme bias in which evidence is admissable?

So nothing. Just anecdotes. At least you admit it.

Admit what? Trump is open about the racial nature of deportations, and witnesses say the same.

If you want to bring stats into it, the baseline is to try to disprove what everyone already knows.

Assuming something is false just because it makes Trump look bad, in your eyes, is a very biased take on the world. Just listen to his own words, he's not ashamed of the racial nature of the deportations, it doesn't "make him look bad" because its a feature not a bug.

Just going to leave this here.
