It was really an absurd sight, when Braverman stood in front of an almost all white party conference and belched out her jingoistic rhetoric.

GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 year agoPretty sure this happens when there are “native” immigrants and a new group tries to come in. The delusion that racists will see them as two different kinds of immigrant and not treat them both the same shitty way.
So they pile up on the new arrivals out of fear the actual native population will start resenting them as well if they don’t, without realizing they never didn’t resent them in the first place. Brown people are brown people. There isn’t a racist in the world who cares if one of them has been a citizen for a decade and speaks the language fluently.

yeah, my dad was an immigrant, and said a surprising amount of the immigrant commuity has a "pull up the drawbridge" mentality.
they're still probably in a minority of a minority though - but loud like other self obsessed arseholes.
creating a perception of competition for work, or status or whatever, as a zero sum game is the same as the fearmongering that the racists try to use to get moderate working class peoople on their side.
