      Your argument is it's okay to consider the 1924 Immigration Act non-racist because it included Southern and Eastern Europeans (who weren't considered white by the authors of the act)? Do I have that right?

      What? You'd have to be impossibly stupid to think that me referring to the 1965 immigration act as undoing earlier, "discriminatory" acts to be am endorsement of those earlier acts as non discriminatory. And you're not impossibly stupid.

      On 6:00-6:10 you say it's "perfectly fine" to believe that inclusion of Italians etc. on 1924 exclusion makes it not racist.

      Jesus Christ Jeet. If you want to try to misunderstand me that hard, go for it. I have more important things to do. I'm obviously trying to get to the root of the issue w/o spending 4 min explaining the evolution of "whiteness" to an audience who doesn't understand "dog whistle."

      What a pedantic, petty, and absurd way to spend your time: patronizingly explaining racism to me on the internet.

      You made a statement that I think is untrue and I'm trying to find out if you believe it or misspoke.

      Third possibility: You misheard "it's fine in those people's eyes" with "it's fine to do so"

      You're free to listen to the video but what she said is it's "perfectly fine" to believe this.

      I've have. it's clearly like an rhetorical play than an condoning of it Like she claim. It's in fact perfectly fine to criticize her for it. I would agree even so far to say "she misspoke." It's distinct enough error that one should responding differently than her condoning tho.

      She's making a rhetorical play that involves a massive concession to those who want to whitewash the racism of the 1924 Immigration Act. I don't think that's good politics.

          An throwaway line isn't going to the straw that breaks the camel back on that whitewashing especially when the rest of the video is still an critical argument. It's still an dumb line and an dumb vid but it's not an straight forward condoning of those shit laws.

          This particular line you're focusing only needs an "Even if" not asking an leading question to rhetorically to show she misspoke or get her to admit to anything. That practically only feeds her persecution complex.

          That's not what she does. She says Italians weren't considered white. It's very clear she's saying "that's fine" for the sake of argument - ie. not getting sidetracked on that particular point & thus losing the larger argument in the process. You're practicing "gotcha" analysis.

          Does acknowledging the fears of the working class wrt immigration feed into bigotry? Or does ignoring those fears make Trump, who at least acknowledges their fears, > attractive? Would libs do better to meet those fears w universal programs that actually mitigate WC concerns? https://twitter.com/DubJ/status/963485538266353664 …
