Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole.

I’m telling you, man. I know what I’m talking about because I know my people. I have all the context.

So… they’re olive-skinned southern Europeans.
Unless they can pass as northern WASPS, and they do not have “ethnic” sounding names, they can try and act as white as they want. However, it will only be a matter of time.
President Drumpf is angling for the 4th Reich and self-loathing acolytes like Steven Miller will happily oblige.
elbarto777 my friend, I know MY people as well.

There you go. That’s the phrase that tells me that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Good-bye.

Uh-huh. And you’re being blind to how the people in this administration are thinking. Your white-passing Venezuelans are on borrowed time.
Let me add that Trump has only groused about the lack of Scandinavian and Germanic - that is, minty-green white northern europeans - coming to America.
Decades ago, people were mocking this kind of thinking. (Can’t find the videos aywhere, but scroll the page and take note of the BUSH ads that were spliced into that particular episode. The third one in particular. I remember seeing it the night it aired.)
We laughed our asses off at the absurdity of it all, now it’s become political reality and I am not laughing anymore.
Take care.
