Immigrants are often weirdly anti-immigration. Seeing other immigrants reminds them of their own outsider status, so they get really into notions of Good Immigrant vs Bad Immigrant.

Not an immigrant, but a Jew who attended a primarily Christian private school for a few years. Others of your ilk aren't just a reminder of your own outside statusāall the assholes around you take care of that on your behalf. When your classmates are told that playing "smear the queer" is not okay, but "get the Jew" is "fine," finding someone like you presents an opportunity.
You could use the opportunity to possibly defend yourselves through unification, but we all know that's not what you're going to do. No, you're going to do what was done to me. You're going to let fear and anger guide you, because how could two of you possibly fight back; you don't even know each other. You're going to join the in-crowd by becoming an aggressor to the new outsider. And as long as they're there to take the heat, you get to chill with people who will throw you in the fire as soon as they're done with the other outsiders.

As an aside, ākill the guy with the ballā is apparently ok. It turns out I was woke even when a kid - āsmear the queerā felt wrong even when I didnāt know what that meant. But killing is fine?

What does kill the guy with the ball mean?
edible_funk@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 224d
It's a multiplayer death match game mode where one player has the ball or skull or whatever and all the other players try to kill that player. Whoever does gets the ball and repeat till game is over, whoever had the ball longest wins. Kids also used to play a variation during recess where one kid would have the ball and the others would try to tackle them to steal the ball. Same rules, whoever had the ball longest wins. It would get pretty violent at times. But it was often called things like "smear the queer" or other euphemisms for hate crimes because the Midwest is bigoted as fuck.

My ex has an uncle who imported a much younger wife. Yes he was always very conservative (and racist) and I wouldnāt be surprised if heās a maga true believer. It always seemed questionable.
However she was always very independent, to the point of bringing over her medical licensing, and was well on her way toward building a successful independent life that she couldnāt have back home. Some of these may be working well for both parties

I once got roped into a discussion by a far-right populist election stand. Me, clearly an immigrant. IDK why he didn't just give up. Maybe because his far-Eastern wife was standing nearby, smiling, offering soft drinks to passersby, and probably listening. IDK. Anyhow, I asked him what his party can do for me specifically, an immigrant and non-citizen. It was a joy to listen to him stumble through that. Then I looked at his wife, who looked at me intently and had a big grin on her face. It was very clear that she had her own opinions on her man's shenanigans.

"Bro, I'll deport your wife if you deport mine"
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 223d
doesnt surprise me, they cant get with a white woman or another woman in the states because thier racism is repulsive to them, or they are wierd people. they think an immigrant wife is more submissive, because they can hold it over thier heads.
Another thing i noticed is they choose immigrants are more ignorant and not up to date on the current politics/beliefs , they want a blank slate where the guy doesnt have to worry that the woman is up to thier BULLSHIT and dump them for someone that is a better SO. i was once following a youtuber/s one was obviously conservative but tries to hide behind "liberterian/progessive values" in the end he got with a british chick from the isles, it was discussed on thier subreddit, he chose the chick because she wouldnt know about how offensive his "holier than thou" right ring attitude is. because his previous GFs on the channel is all aware of his BS, and implied he was just a manchild, it was asian tuber channel, who originally hosted a variety of guests.
lechekaflan@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 223d
These men hate women who wear the pants.
They choose these specific women because some of such women cling so much, "faithful", and are easily cowed into submission.
I know this because I am an actual Filipino in the Philippines and we do have people like that, literally chasing after money regardless of suffering or despair many get in exchange.

You seem to have a particularly bigoted view of Asian women that you seem to have found an outlet for in this thread hiding behind people's anger at this murder. But there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of daylight between this racist murderer's attitude towards immigrants and your attitude towards Asian women. "Such women cling so much"? You wish buddy. Despicable.

If he's going to enforce MAGA policies with lethal force, and deport his wife and any anchor babies around the house. Her documentation is as irrelevant as everyone else's. Detain her for a few weeks until she can be fully checked out, and find out if he pulled any strings for her, and if she "accidentally" gets deported somewhere...oh, well.

Aljernon@lemmy.today · 11 pts · 224d
For those that don't know, Filipina wives have a reputation for being submissive to their husbands and are sought out by certain kinds of American men for that reason. For example, radio personality Art Bell had a Filipina wife and when she died, he met a new Filipina woman 39 years younger than him a few weeks later and was married to her before the end of the year.

The good news is, at least from what Iāve seen, their children are growing up better than them. I canāt help but wonder how the impact of having that mindset while raising biracial children plays out in the long term. Guessing a lot more kids take the path so many of this generation has and cuts off their awful parents.

This thread is full of people imagining that he committed war crimes in Iraq, but itās also very likely that he once had discipline, the threat of consequences, formal training in weapons, use of force, the rules of engagement, and the concept of restraint.
Itās far likelier IMO that when he joined law enforcement, and particularly ICE, he felt that he could be less restrained.
DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 223d
You think that the military was more restrained in Iraq than ICE is in the US? Really? We all know the name of this murderer, his victim's name, how it all happened from several angles and so on. There were hundreds of thousands of victims of the US military in Iraq. How many of those murderers can you name, along with how they killed and the names of their victims? It's amazing that even after scandals and atrocities like Abu Ghraib, people can utter nonsense like this. The military completely destroyed a civilisation in Iraq, but the suffering of Americans at the hands of ICE is somehow worse?

its the same thing how white people in racist group have a BLack token to not seem racist.
alot of conservatives/gop seem to have immigrant or asian wives, they know they cant get with a white woman that is not from a super conservative community, because they are almost always usually taken.
