I have two half-Thai cousins (Floridians, naturally) whose mother was a Thai immigrant, and they love to bitch about immigrants (as does my white uncle, who brought this Thai immigrant to the US from Thailand). Neither looks Thai, but one looks generically Central American and the other looks Japanese and they got abused growing up for that. It’s really wild to me how this gave them no empathy at all for the shit immigrants have to endure; instead they do their best to be caricatures of white people.

Peak “fuck you, got mine”. Same with my grandparents. Grandpa was also notoriously racist. I laughed so hard when some genome sequencing revealed a ton of sub-Saharan genes in that side of the family. My dad was about 25% African and Grandpa was hella dark. Now how could that be…?

No, I just like Tarantino movies lol.
The concept of racial purity is dumb everywhere, but it’s especially dumb in the Mediterranean, where they had these things called “boats”. There is just no way that an island smack in the middle of this shit wouldn’t have DNA from all over the fucking place.
