It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's weird that if you're from a Spanish speaking country in the Americas, you're immediately not white in the USA.
There are white people from Cuba, it was the owning class who left. Which is why beaches were segregated before Fidel.
Fidel used Gusano in a specific context, it's not a viewpoint thing, more of a discrediting of the "my family was targetted by communists in a civil war" (for owning 100 acres and a plantation)
The only equivalent for Euros I can think of is when people of German heritage can't account for their family history between the late 1930s to 1945. The Bolsheviks took power too long ago for it to be used for eastern europeans, grandparents who fleed did it in different circumstances, and I guess Kulak is the closest equivalent there.
But Kulak ownership structure was different, it was more self employment which is why a lot of peasant political parties were liberals in the face of monarchy, instead of being revolutionaries.
Gusano meaning bourgeois landlords who left due to communist revolution hasn't been done more recently so there's no one else to apply the term to really. Maybe white South Africans? Except they still own a lot of that country, and the colonization worked differently.
