    If you’re first thought on hearing a Mexican sounding name is that they can’t be American you would probably make a good ICE employee.

    It doesn’t matter if it’s hypocritical of them, it’s still racism on your behalf.

        You heard two Mexican sounding names and thought the exact same thing: “Two Mexicans killed an American, lmao.”

        Where do I need to learn to read?

          It was a different person who said that, but they were defending it so it’s probably fair to lump them together.

            My whole point was that he maybe wasn’t saying it literally. I might be wrong, but just pondering and giving alternative explanation is not the same as defending them.

          The same thing I was saying is using ICE agents logic back on themselves. Did you really think I actually thought they were Mexican or something? My whole point was that the original comment might not mean it literally. Man, you people have trouble with reading comprehension, don’t you?
