This seems broken, especially with 'MAGA' thrown in there, are you saying only whites voted for that candidate? Because I got news for you... MAGA wasn't even original to Trump.

According to this list since I believe people can bootstrap themselves I must be a white supremacist. Except I highly doubt the KKK are fond of mestizo people, I even doubt they even like "white" Hispanics at all. I know people who have been homeless and now make more money than I do, living on cars or purely on the streets, minorities included.

As a minority I am astounded at all the bikeshedding people are doing to fight racism, worse yet finding racism where there is none like git branches.

Edit: Also, just because someone supported Trump and is white and voted for him doesn't automatically make that person a racist. This kind of prejudice rising up today is very worrisome and way too topical in a discussion about social cooling.

That's the point, it is broken. It's how "white supremacy" has gained so much traction in the US. Of course it will have gained traction if you expand the definiton to include almost 50% of the population.

  • Ah I wasn't sure your argument, thanks for clarifying. As a minority in America I fear it's all gone a little bit crazy.
