      A white supremacist in the US with obvious Spanish/Latino roots is quite literally the same as a Jewish neo nazi leader.

      It shows how fucking dumb all these idiots are

        Spain supported Germany in WWII. It was a fascist dictatorship until 1975. And last I checked, it is in Europe.

        “Mexican” isn’t an ethnicity, and there are a lot of families in Latin America that can trace their entire family tree back to Spain. They aren’t the ones being deported.

        The analogy doesn’t check out.

        Oh! It’s racism, but towards a racist. There were jews for Hitler, too. It’s not unheard of, people acting dumb don’t think through themselves being potential targets

          Not so much racism as much as laughing at the stupidity of someone more or less supporting the extermination of other people like himself IMO

          Oh dear God. Not everything is racism , you know

          You’re missing the point where a white supremacist leader has Latin American Mexican roots. That is the same as a Jewish person becoming a neo nazi leader, it should cause a lot of head scratches but these racist fucks are so dumb or so deep into their mental gymnastics that they don’t even see that.

          The Jews working for the Nazi’s back in those days was quite different as they basically were desperate people doing the worst imaginable just to survive. Not excusing it, but it is remotely understandable.

          This is just half wits showing the world how dumb they are

          It almost sounds like you think that other person’s “racism” was real bad or something. Like saying a person of Mexican descent can’t be a white supremacist is on par with the deep hatred coming from some people that we all recognize as extremely wrong. But we’re to take that this person’s statement is also racism?! It’s good to know that hatred isn’t only on those that it targets but can also be wielded in the same way by members of that very group. I still don’t think pointing it out as simply racism is fair. Mocking Jews who supported Hitler wouldn’t get a racism or xenophobic label tossed around by me as a result. I’d agree. You’re not defending anything or anyone that’s worth defending.

            Nah, was just clarifying that I understood what they were saying. If the punchline is racism, I often miss it. (Which is also not a value judgment thing, I’m just not hip on the tropes that others are)

              It’s the racism label I’m having trouble with. It seems race related but not racism.
