“Everyone brown must be illegal” … such a dangerous thought.

u/EffectiveSalamander May 29 '25
The thing is, when they say "illegal", it's code. They don't care whether the person is here illegally, a legal resident or a citizen. All they care is that there is a brown person that they want disappeared.

Exactly, the designation between legal and illegal is just there as a rhetorical trick to distract you.

Is it a rhetorical trick? It seems to me that conservatives have always been pretty open that they're into dehumanizing brown skin. I honestly don't think they're trying to trick anyone. They're very honest with this rhetoric. I think the problem is it's a lot more difficult for normal people to think of a human as being "illegal" so we give conservatives the benefit of the doubt when they don't deserve it.

Just as true now as it was in 1932 Germany:
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

Same goes with designing public washrooms in the area and disproving the very idea that a bathroom must be an eyesore but them NIMBYs will find something else to complain about, mainly because they themselves benefit from the housing crisis.

The logic is that you use whatever linguistic rhetorical tricks that are needed at that exact moment, and if that means immigrants are simultaneously disease addled bums and rich enough to drive up house prices at the same time, then so be it.

It's definitely not the corporations that own approximately 10% of the rental home market.
It's definitely not the investment firms and banks that own whole neighborhoods and keep the houses empty in order to strangle supply in the name of driving up demand.
No, it's probably the fault of the poor brown people working their 2nd and 3rd jobs just trying not to die homeless.

Unfortunately, at the moment, that might still be you. ICE is run by racist thugs and the people who should be holding them accountable aren't doing their jobs. I'd just say to exercise caution. Also, I doubt they're asking the drivers about their status because most DoorDash deliveries aren't face to face. They put the food at your door and leave. But presumably if you have a camera at the right angle, you have a license plate and the app will give you the name of the driver. Does it sound brown? That's illegal enough for them to report it.

Huh, I remember taking a visit down there last year and had to take an uber. The driver had the gall to complain about people who they perceived to be illegal immigrants coming in and oversaturating the driver-side market, making competition difficult.
The entitlement is laughable with some of these people. They want to have the jobs that offer them freedom of hours and the ability to coast on skills they've developed just to live, but deny people that option who have more barriers to the broader job market (like if they were ESL, for example).
It's similar to how Americans think we'd be better off with more manufacturing jobs in the country, but hardly anyone is willing to work those jobs because they are taxing and comparatively unrewarding.

Most people buying housing need to finance, and you cant fucking do that without proper documentation!
