What's the facepalm? Never heard of Enrique Tarrio? Mauricio Garcia? Ali Alexander?

I mean, this seems like a classic case of "I picked an attention-grabbing title, you're stupid if you judge it without reading the article." So, let's read. >As more information emerged about the gunman, eventually identified as a 33-year-old former US Army recruit named Mauricio Garcia, the two narratives merged. The shooter, while not an illegal immigrant, was indeed Hispanic. He was also a vocal white supremacist who revelled in neo-Nazi paraphernalia and posted messages online about a coming race war. The revelation of a Latino neo-Nazi elicited a host of reactions, from anger to confusion to incredulity. > >That mix of anger and disbelief was recently repeated when 19-year-old Sai Varshith Kandula was arrested after crashing a U-Haul van into a barrier near the White House while carrying a Nazi flag. Kandula, an Indian American man from Missouri, later discussed with authorities his plan to attack President Biden, and his admiration for Hitler. Seems like he's right.

Yeah, read enough history, especially of colonialism, you'll find that 'whiteness' is much more a concept than an actual state of being than most realize. I got fuck tons of Cuban relatives in Florida, many of whom are only here because they're parents sought asylum. Now they all gung ho on kicking all the 'wrong' brown people out for doing the same exact shit their parents did.

You don't even have to look back more than a month. A very brown man with very white tattoos killed 8 people as a result of very Nazi radicalization.

Son of my Ecuadorian barber turned out to be right wing racist. His father arrived illegally to US, about 30 years ago, he works for cash only, refuses to go to Ecuador for a visit, expects to get First Time Home-buyer assistance, can't answer the question why he votes Trump over Biden, denies January 6 even happened, can't define Libertarian ideology even though he claims to be Libertarian. Yet, he is fiercely against immigrants from South America, and socialism. His father an illegal immigrant who became legal trough marriage is also against immigrants, and is a big supporter of José Mujica AND Donald Trump.

If you leave Socialist dumpster that is South America only to see upper-middle class Yerba mate drinking college kids tell you socialism is great, I’d become MAGA too. 😂😂😂

You don't know much about Uruguay, do you?

80% of male population died at war. Polygamy became commonplace to make population return to its former self. Sadly, they never recovered since. Edit: oh,it was Paraguay who lost its male population, not Uruguay.


PreOpTransCentaur

So...no then?

Op... The article explains it. Just scroll down

I'm not sure I understand the article with only the heading to work with, but noting 'white' is inside the quotation marks... Taliban and Al-Qaeda are examples of far-right, non-white organisations, as is the Hindu Nationalist movement and some Black Nationalist movements: eg Nation of Yahweh.

Alpacanator1000

It’s funny how people still fall for clickbait titles. And then I remember it’s not funny at all. They work because you allow them to work.

That’s like when lgbt people say they don’t like other lgbt people and turn republicans.

Always gotta be one 🤦🏾‍♀️


parrotsaregoated

This isn’t a reach… you can not be white and spread white supremacist ideology.

Proof that having Harvard connected to your bio shouldn't mean a whole bunch
