In reply to the discussion: Trump: Sen Padilla "looked like an illegal." [View all]moniss
(7,495 posts)22. Obviously displaying his bigotry but I don't think that was accidental
by any means. Crumb The 1st is always messaging to his people. I see the same thing now and then when white people automatically ask someone with a Hispanic sounding name "How long have you been here?" or "What country are you from?" etc. when in fact they their family has been here for 200 years and more. It's as ignorant as asking someone "What reservation do you live on?" when finding out someone is Native American.

Calling a person "illegal" is denying their personhood. Corporations have more rights, it seems. . . . nt
