  Yeah, a pretty racist meme imo.

    Hard to be racist if being mexican is not a race. May xenophobic?!

      Okay, but when we have to nitpick the semantics of the bigotry at play there’s a problem here.

    Honest question, Is it racist to train a GSD to take commands in German, or to put a musher hat on an Alaskan Malamute? They are dogs that come from an nation/state. Or are you trying to say that a sombrero is offensive to the people of Mexico?

    The fact that people are being deported based off how they look or where they come from is racist, I can’t see how honoring a heritage or bringing cultural differences into your culture is racist.

      When your anti-ICE meme is indistinguishable from anything a white supremacist group would make celebrating ICE there are some problems.

  Yes but also Chihuahua is a mexican breed. Maybe that was the joke

    Oh because the Sombrero didn't make it obvious enough?

    That joke is not funny. Making fun of people getting kidnapped by a fascist government organisation is not funny.

      I’m not saying you’re wrong but I think it is interesting that your interpretation of the meme is that it is a joke against the people being targeted by ICE while I immediately thought the meme was about how brain dead ICE officers are that they would target a dog simply because it had a sombrero on. I have no idea what the OP’s intention was when making the meme. Maybe I just made my assumption based on the fact that this was shared on Lemmy which is overwhelmingly against ICE. If I saw this shared by a conservative person I would more than likely share you sentiment though.
