There is no brown person in America that thinks themselves white

My two cousins are half-Thai but thanks to the genetic dice they both look vaguely central american. They got abused quite a bit growing up both for being asian and for being "mexican". This taught them empathy for others who ... lol just kidding. They're both trump-loving white supremacists who rant against immigrants despite their own mother being an immigrant from Thailand.

Well, it sounds like they're half white and are white passing as a result which isn't the experience of most brown people in the US.

I'm half brown. I've been called n-bomb, dirty Jew, and various weird middle eastern slurs.

I'm none of those--it doesn't matter though. If you're tinted, you're not white.

One drop rule still in play.
