Is this why kamala became a cop? No experience of historical ongoing oppression.

Anecdotally, in Ohio yes, plenty of people I know hold the belief that if your parents or grandparents were immigrants, you can’t be president. Which is of course why they had a problem with “Barack Hussein Obama” (they always have to add emphasis on the middle name for some reason) and had nothing to do with him being black.

It’s mental gymnastics all the way down, I stopped trying to understand.

Its because of Sadam Hussein as if he was somehow named after Iraq’s dictator.

Personally, I think it’s partly that, partly just the knee-jerk “OMG THAT’S A MOOSE-LIMB NAME REEE” they feel when they hear any sort of foreign sounding name that has any vague “middle eastern” sound to it.

And of course the actual origin of names doesn’t matter, I’ve seen plenty of people assume traditional celtic or even scandanavian names are “from Africa”

Both points summed up: racism

Fred Trump was born in New York, Mary Anne MacLeod was born in Scotland. It was Trump’s Granddad, Frederick who immigrated from Bavaria.

Technically only his mother was an immigrant, born in Scotland. His father was born in the US.

Both trumps grandparents were german immigrants

Father was german heritage, blood, ancestry. Just born in USA. Didn’t think american’s counted that these days

German Grandfather + German Grandmother -> Father (Fred) born in the US. Full “german blood”.

mother was scottish heritage, blood, ancestry. Born in scotland. Literally not american

Scottish Grandfather + Scottish Grandmother -> Mother (Mary) born in Scotland. Full “Scottish blood”.

Trump is a mix of german and scottish heritage. Literally zero american heritage except his dad happened to be born in the USA.

But I thought republicans hated immigrants? 🤔
