Trump’s parents are old enough to be Kamala’s grandparents and are therefore from the time when immigrants were good (white).
from the time when immigrants were good (white)
Not quite — there was a ton of Irish immigration, and they were not considered white. https://sites.pitt.edu/~hirtle/uujec/white.html
Exactly, they were not white. Neither were Italians or Eastern Europeans or basically anyone except the English, Scandinavians, and a handful of Germans. Amazing that isn’t it? Almost like race is a completely made up and bullshit thing.
It’s certainly an odd concept the more you think about it, especially because of how relatively recent it is (only a few hundred years). Before that, discrimination was based on culture and education. Ancient Greeks called outsiders barbaroi not because of their appearance but because their languages didn’t sound as sophisticated as Greek. Romans had multiple African emperors and it was a non-issue because they were culturally sophisticated and spoke good Latin.
Doesn’t that get retconned as “good, actually” when the arbitrary definition of whiteness expands to include them (because the racists don’t have enough power without)? Repubs claim Southern Strategy never happened while voting for an overt Obama birther racist. They don’t give a single fuck about historical accuracy.
Wrong colour immigrant
Which we know for a fact based on MAGA weirdos being fine with Trump’s immigrant wives.
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? 🤔
Fred Trump was born in New York, Mary Anne MacLeod was born in Scotland. It was Trump’s Granddad, Frederick who immigrated from Bavaria.
I think I’m gonna print a tee of this crying maga figure for November when Harris kicks his ass
