    There is no brown person in America that thinks themselves white

    My two cousins are half-Thai but thanks to the genetic dice they both look vaguely central american. They got abused quite a bit growing up both for being asian and for being “mexican”. This taught them empathy for others who … lol just kidding. They’re both trump-loving white supremacists who rant against immigrants despite their own mother being an immigrant from Thailand.

      Well, it sounds like they’re half white and are white passing as a result which isn’t the experience of most brown people in the US.
