I’m a white hotel towel Mexican
Always thought it was strange to mark “White, Hispanic” on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don’t you.
If you didn’t know my last name you’d never guess I wasn’t “American”
I get told all the time I’m not Hispanic because I’m white.
Its not my fault a white Brit knocked up my Costa Rican grandma. And my grandma certainly cultured me while she was alive.
So I just say I’m a white Hispanic to clear the confusion.
I’m half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.
I understand the hardship
Random people do not think my father is my father.
I’ve been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.
Edit: It’s also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.
Some people even secretly say that Spanish was invented by white people
You mean like Texas Senator Rafael “Ted” Cruz?
If I recall correctly, it’s actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented “white, Hispanic”.
Fascinating and plausible.
I remember my grandfather telling me a story about how he didn’t know which bathroom to use when he came to the US and someone told him to use the white.
Interesting
Who is even asking you that?
The correct answer to “Why the sticker?” is “Why the fascism?”
I would also accept “Because this is America” to hammer it home
Correct. She chose cowardice.
Yeah, let’s see how brave you are when you’ve got facists in your face.
~Hint: you’ll probably piss yourself.~
Option 1: Tell them you did it to waste their time. Outcome: You’ve wasted their time, and you caught a charge for wasting police time, obstruction, or whatever it is they call it there for your trouble.
Option 2: Plead ignorance. Outcome: You’ve wasted exactly the same amount of their time, plus you lied to the police, and you’ve faced no consequences for it.
Picking option 1 isn’t brave, it’s just stupid.
The correct answer when ICE pull you over is exercising your 2A right.
In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.
IRL, I’ve got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.
the first rambo movie is quite literally about what that shit does to a mfer
Well… the first 3/4ths of the first Rambo movie.
The back end is just “What do we do with the rest of our demolitions budget?”
Even hunting takes something out of you. It’s a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.
An animal cannot choose to be a nazi nor fabricate a genocide, so yea, that’d definitely hit different.
Something tells me you’ve never been shot at. It’s not just a videogame.
This isn’t a discussion about the horrors of war but the emotional damage of killing someone else. Please stay on topic.
You absolute nunce do you think a large armed group of humans will passively sit and be shot at and not return fire
This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.
You don’t unholster your gun unless you’re prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.
But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.
There’s a reason why John fucking Brown is the real Jesus Christ. He’d fucking blow up the damn white house at this point.
Eehhhhhhh personally I think it’d depend greatly on who it was.
Some poor sap drafted or otherwise forced to fight against me for someone else’s cause? Yea, that’s going to suck.
Choking out some loser who fantasizes about being hitler in 2025? Yea, I’ll sleep like a baby that night.
While a German soldier in ww2 could go either way, some fascie piece of shit cosplaying in the US has no obligation to be such a piece of shit and has thusly chosen that path. Such a mfer who chooses to be that vile? Yea, remorse isn’t entering the equation.
But you do get to make a horcrux and become immortal.
Comedy aside, well said.
Man I still don’t understand how horcruxs were supposed to work
When it’s a good writer writing them and not a transphobic moron, then they make perfect sense.
Um, where else did you get your original definition of a horcrux?
I’m not certain of any specific usages of the word that predate Harry, but the general concept of a spirit vessel that saves mortality is not terribly new nor unique. Generally speaking, a spirit needs to have all connections with a mortal plane severed in order to move on. A spirit vessel like a horcrux is merely a separate attachment to ‘this’ world that can be separated and protected. Having more than one is also not terribly unique.
If Dipshit Transphobe were anywhere near a good writer, this could’ve been a big point as to why Voldyboi was an idiot for doing it, because it’d basically be cursing himself to have a near permanent connection to the mortal plane, especially with how scattered he made his crap, making his existence torture on the best of days… like a lich posessing objects, it shouldn’t be easy nor kind to the user.
Though since she’s an utterly shit writer, it only amounted to, “oh boy, he’s hard to permanently kill!”.
I mean, “paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby” describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.
Mods banned the constitution lol
Yup.
They shouldn’t get to go home at night.
That’s the correct answer for when armed masked people who refuse to identify themselves try to interfere with you.
Sorry, I don’t know why I repeated exactly what you just said.
Well some mod keeps removing peoples’ comments that aren’t even going against the grain of other commenters so… maybe you should be repeating what they said?
Something something 2A
I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.
Is being harassed also not wasting their time?
If they are enjoying it, it’s not a waste.
Thats a very narrow view but okay. Personally mine is anything that prevents them from actually impacting innocent lives
That ain’t gonna happen though, they’re only going to keep ramping up the fascism. Might as well innocently troll them.
Making it more expensive helps it collapse faster shrug you do you.
Wtf did you just say about my view?!
Its narrow! Like your mom!
Hey my moms not narrow, she’s wide!
They got quotas so they need to hit the right targets
Nice double meaning, intended or not…
“What sticker?”
Play it super dumb like you have no idea wtf they’re even talking about.
“I like Italian food assholes!!”
Food assholes is a very peculiar dish, must be something like doughnuts
much more chewy
^Allegedly
With all of those masks out there I thought there was a covid variant that only infected right-wing muscle bound goons. We can demand of cops “Give me your name and badge number”. We can demand of Trumps cops “BOOM! (blackness for a while) What country is this?”.
Use old flags of European countries and say you are a history buff.
Use flags of fictional countries and say that you are a fantasy buff.
So many opportunities.
Or exert your 1st amendment rights and put whatever sticker you want on your car without providing any justification whatsoever.
Shit, USA has genuinely succumbed to fascism.
Use the flag of 1940s Germany and get a high five.
Well shit, I’m gonna buy a whole 1000 pack of Mexican flag stickers and throw them on every car in every parking lot I see.
Please don’t for those of us of the non white complexion. I’m already scared enough as it is.
Okay, how about if I promise only to throw them on white people’s cars? :P
Edit: Nevermind, that would be racist. How about I throw them on TRUMP SUPPORTERS vehicles?
One time, I was smoking a cigarette in my car, outside of my house. A cop pulled up behind me and blasted their lights. They asked me a ton of questions, most of which I refused to answer. I gave them ID which had my FUCKING address, and they still said, “You ain’t from around here are you?”. Mother fucker, you don’t even live in this zipcode. You are at MY address. It was a Pacific beach surfing sticker and a Bernie sticker. They also told me to take them off. They went off in a pout, and the deputy told me they were just training the newbie. To what, profile people?
To profile people? Yep.
Cute, and dangerous, to think the fascists wont put you on the bus anyway .
“looks brown to me!” “Must be a Mexican!”
The person: 🙍🏻♀️
Italian Flags look identical to Mexican Flags from a distance.
Just putting this out there, for anyone who wants to experience Italian Discrimination firsthand.
They only love the food, but if you’re not Murican… they don’t love you.
“Obnoxious creatures” fucking gold.
Would do this if I wasn’t brown and didn’t get mistaken as latino all the time

Better option: find a swasticar, and stick a flag on the back of it. Waste the time of the pig and the trumpster in a cybertruck
Just be sure to wear a mask. The cameras on Teslas constantly record everything around them even when parked.
I’m not white and I often joke about putting an American flag in my front yard to avoid racist attacks
I tell people all the time that if they ever see a “thin blue line” sticker on my car, it’s because I have started dealing drugs, or begun some other life of crime.
I can remember when everyone in mexico got really really outraged by the Texas law SB4, but now racial profiling is really common
Racial profiling never stopped being really common.
