Opinion | The ‘Useful Idiots’ From America Whom Putin Is Playing Like a Flute

Excellent opinion piece - more fact than opinion! except I strongly disagree with the author's belief that Krasnov & Co. care about the loss of Ukrainian lives. They don't.

Is your brown skin color the only significant thing about you? It's all you've mentioned! Aren't you also your Latino traditions, histories, stories, family, & experiences? Be those things. That's who you really are. Otherwise you might just as well have a tan, Pedro.

They are but they're culturally distinct. I don't think anyone outside the SW identifies as Hispanic.

Chicano/a is political identity

Ever hear of the Gullah or Geechee people? Black Americans but not at all like blacks anywhere else.

Where in the heck do you live that you experience such hate? My gawd...

Oh geesh. I live in a sanctuary city in the largely sanctuary state of New Mexico. My last group of housemates consisted of two Hispanic lesbians, a Chicano veteran, and a young black dude. I was the token anglo and we all got along politically and socially EXCEPT when it came to house chores...

Ohhhh... BURN!

You know I meant that I jump into your posts when no one else is commenting. Few of us get many comments or have actual discussions.

Erm... you're not, are you? 🥵

Not until you convince me that you're not a far-right Cuban-American from Miami 😜🤣

Then there's this Spanish Colonial madness:

“Most college applications don’t have a box for Indian-Ugandans, so I checked multiple boxes trying to capture the fullness of my background,” said Mr. Mamdani, a state lawmaker from Queens.

That's true. Census, applications, etc are all outdated.

I agree! But I think that if people saw more than skin color it would be harder for them to create their artificial voting blocks.

Pedro, seriously, white people do not all think, believe, or behave alike. I am NOT united with anyone on the right. Never have been, not since I was about 10.

Okay. Let me know if you ever do.

I've been listening. More than anyone else in your posts. I ask all people to be specific, not just you.

I know that, too. Which is why when people say "all members of the military are fascists" I argue with them.

Although, being a person of color doesn't exempt you from being a fascist shit. See how many are in ICE now?

Okay, believe all white people are conservative Christian Nationalists and/or their allies if it helps your world get smaller.

I'm not defending anyone. I have defended plenty of people in the military and veterans, though, using the same response.

Some, many, not all.

I want modifiers because racists talk about people of color as an homogenous group defined by its lowest common denominator. It's dehumanizing. Same when people talk about men, women, white people, Asians, disabled, or anyone they want to bash.

I think we can and should do better. Words matter.

Don't mind me, I ask ppl to use modifiers like "most, some, many" unless they mean "all" because they often do & I like to know specifically what they mean.

Hoping for the dragonslayers to show up

Christian Nationalists, Pablo.

Conservative white people, you mean. We normal ones have very strong feelings to the contrary.

He is really betting on white peoples racism here 👻

You have to be a psychopath to become a billionaire, want to be one, or even hope to serve one a drink at your bar in hopes of getting a big tip.

Congrats, Governor

Seeing Palestine with your own eyes will change your life 😭😭😭

Free Free Palestine ✊🏾🍉

Pablo, have you been to Palestine? 🥺 I'd love to hear about it if you don't mind talking about it a little.

The IDF are animals and I hope they will someday have to answer for their war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Save Palestine 💔🇵🇸
Stop the Genocide
