    Did you seriously just quote the one drop rule at me?

    I guess I'm not white.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Its a bit too late for that now isn't it? For 40 years the republican party have been using racial dog-whistles of one sort of another. That is what has driven non-whites wholesale into the democratic party, nothing else. Remember many of these people are socially conservative and so would otherwise fit in quite well with republican values, but the continual republican racist spiel has completely alienated them. Trump is just the latest incarnation of that.

    And whatever the apologists here say, it is exceedingly evident to just about everyone that trump is playing a very VERY loud racist dog-whistle, to activate white voters.

    I wouldn't say dirty. That is racist.

    Oh trust me, I know. I was just using an example, because there have been people from the UK publicly voicing their support for Trump, like Milo Yiannopoulos

    How it was used in the past is irrelevant.

    Just how you identify people now.

    Is something wrong with not being white?

    Yeah. Whites never win the victim Olympics either. Think of all the benefits they miss out on.

    you are using it in the same sense. "white" is not an ethnicity genetically or culturally. nor is "colored."
    that distinction is purely derived from slavery & jim crow laws.

    Yeah but it's why race as a concept is incrediblely stupid to use at all. In the context of the OP Latino is used to group people who they believe to be the same based on the way they look which is fucked.
