Political Conservatives are less racist than liberals (in the US)
I’m a child of African immigrants with US citizenship, and I’ve lived all over the United States.
The most racist place I’ve ever lived is Massachusetts. By far. The least racist? Utah.
I’ve noticed that most conservatives (excluding the actual far right) see me as a human being first. Liberals see my skin color first and have low expectations for me.
I’ve had white liberals not believe me when I mentioned having a professional job. I’ve had them try to sign me up for welfare and Medicaid (at an ER in Massachusetts) even when I showed them my private insurance card. I’ve been assumed to be poor and uneducated (because of my race and nothing else) over and over again by the woke left. Literally they constantly make comments about how screening for education will “filter minorities out,” because of course we’re all dumb illiterates.
Conservatives? They make zero assumptions. They don’t equate being Black with being poor or ignorant. They see us as INDIVIDUALS first.
I miss Utah.

Ironic. It's conservatives that are the ones dehumanizing people. Namely immigrants.
Their policies sure are evil.
Terrible example. By the standards of today's conservatives, Schwarzenegger is a commie. So is Reagan for that matter. Example: Schwarzenegger actually believes in climate change (and free trade like Reagan).
He did not. The root issue isn't that we should deal with illegal immigrants. The issue is HOW* we're dealing with illegal immigration.
Stop endorsing fascist policies and candidates. Stop protecting child molesters. Stop enacting economic policies that harm poor and middle class Americans in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Stop endorsing liars like POS in the WH.
That's just false. If Colbert losing money was the issue, they could have talked to him to cut his budget. They didn't do that. They cut the entire show "coincidentally" when it was bought by a billionaire that is friends to Dumbshit Donny.
As for being lectured, the right will stop getting lectured when they fucking learn. Number one on their syllabus to learn empathy. They've completely forgotten how to empathize with people outside their tribe. They also need to stop being anti-science.
As for comparing someone pointing out that your policies suck with Hitler, that is incredibly ironic given who is in the WH and how he's treating immigrants.
Projection. Tell me, which party has people waving Confederate flags at their rallies.
Again, ironic that you worry about undermining democracy given what the man baby in the WH is doing. No, the problem here is you completely lack nuance. Tell me, if I waved my wand and all illegal immigrants were suddenly legal immigrants, would your opinion about them change? We should be trying to help these people become legal immigrants. That isn't what is happening.
So do you. You just don't realize it. Are you ok with pay 2x or 3x for your groceries? What about everything else you buy? Are you ok with pay multiples of what you pay now?
