This guy: "[You] Latinos are invading our country and breeding us white people out of the majority... hahaha, no, no. I kid, I kid! But no really, in all seriousness, you do do that, and it's a big fucking problem. We need a president who will put a stop to it and kick you all out like the vermin you are. Now laugh you fucking cockroaches. It's funny because it's true. We Republicans are truly the masters of comedy. Hurdurdurr."
Jesus Christ these mother fuckers are twisted. To his credit, I guess, he told this joke to a crowd full of Latinos rather than when only the white folks are around like they usually do. But, less to his credit, he also thought it was ok to say at all, ESPECIALLY TO A CROWD FULL OF LATINOS. The joke depended on their being a lot of Latinos in the crowd and he actually thought, "oh they'll love this one". What a completely deluded moron.
Dude turn off the blaze radio, turn off the fox news, go outside, leave the gated neighborhood, and meet some new people. People as different from you as you can manage in your area. Try your hardest to realize that they are also people with their own thoughts, values, and dreams as deep and rich and varied as anyone you have ever met. Truly appreciate that and then come back and fucking apologize to these people for othering them, stereotyping them, and expecting them to laugh at their own mockery. This shit is exhausting.
