Comment on Tariffs on Canadian goods having a 'devastating effect,' U.S. farmers say

Farmers employ lots of brown people and even act as refuges for illegal immigrants. They may take advantage of brown people and be racist, but they’re not afraid of them.

Any other ideas?

Brown people with rights are scary

They fear brown people taking over (aka the ‘great replacement theory’) and doing to them what they do to brown people.

They also see PoC as lesser and therefore needing to be lower on the totem pole; if they get rights, or even (gasp!) high-level jobs then they move up the totem pole, which is a violation of the ‘natural order’. And they believe that if the natural order is violated, society itself will collapse.
