        Well, roughly 1/3 of the US population is that racist, and some are less so. I’m a white male, I hear it when these dumbasses think I’m on The Team.

      It’s a widespread belief in the South that “LIberals” want to flood the country with hispanics to drown out their “Christian Whiteness”, and South Africa is their object lesson of “It could happen here”.

      He’s trying to bully them into conceding favorable terms for him. It’s Mafia tactics. He thinks he’s a badass, and everyone will back down to his demands. China didn’t.
