        It’s so weak that they’re saying that in terms of “the less minorities we see the more wonderful it would be”, meanwhile they’re the same types of people who brought the slaves here against their will, the same types that employ undocumented workers to be able to treat them worse and pay them less, and the same types to go other places in the world and complain about how it’s not their white “Christian” utopia back home, it just shows how deeply insecure and weak they are.

    I like to remind “Christians”, there is only one type of Christian in The US and its Protestant.
