Comment on Karl Bushby: Made a bet in 1998 that he could walk from Chile to England. 27 Years later, Still walking. Survived Darién Gap, 57 days in a Russian prison, Traversing the Bering Strait on shifting ice
He is white. I’m sure they would slap him on the ass and tell him not to get into too much trouble.
Don’t know if you’ve heard but the US has been arresting white German citizens lately
Don’t know what you’ve heard but the government is specifically targeting people based on their Melanin.
The US is not a safe place for anyone especially POC.
That’s the accurate statement. Yes ICE/Border Patrol are disproportionately targeting POC, but they’re not stopping there.
Lol. I’m white passing. I can tell you with certainty that the danger is disproportionately aimed at one side of the Melanin scale. (It isn’t the side I inhabit, btw.)
