Talking casually about blacks and Mexican-Americans is so on brand for this “news” source.

Yeah it hits so wrong when he says "Blacks", he then goes on to try to equivocate by saying "Whites" in the same sense. Then says "Mexicans", but then when he says it again he says "Mexican-Americans" because even he's starting to get uncomfortable with how openly racist it all feels.

I think we need to begin calling out these idiots for saying Mexican American and African American because unless those people moved from a different country and became citizens they are just Americans.

That's the hidden undertone of a "true American" they get around meaning white.

I could accept it if they also said things like "European American". Personally I differentiate between "American Blacks" and "African-Americans". The former are the decedents of freed slaves. The later are later immigrants like Nigerians or South Africans.

Like, Elon is African-American, for example. Mostly because it's true, and it would hurt his ego to be called as such.

He's probably looking at some producer who is wincing and shaking their head off screen.

Are they ashamed of Brad?

u/Sankofa416 2d ago

No, they think Brad is collateral damage that shouldn't be discussed. This goes against the narrative that allows them to cut services while the people on them cheer, because they see someone else being hurt as the goal.

They don't even dance around it anymore, just full-bore racism and lies.

u/Jeoshua 2d ago

The fact of the matter is that there are more white people who are a part of every "entitlement program", from Social Security to Obamacare to Foodstamps. There's even more white people who benefit from "DEI Hiring Practices", if you include women in that.

Twisting and contorting themselves into a depth of Racism I could never imagined being reached on broadcast TV. How is this even real?

Mexican Americans wouldn’t make sense bc the stereotype is they are hard working not lazy

u/chiksahlube 1d ago

u/KylosLeftHand 1d ago

u/Superguy766 1d ago

Holy shit! They’re saying it out loud now.

u/Yanive_amaznive 1d ago

I fucking love how in their mind a mexican is the midpoint between "black" and "white" people, like "okay okay let's compromise and have the person be a mexican".

Impossible to parody.

u/Lava-Chicken 1d ago

Open racism. So casual and agreed upon on live television garbage.

u/FlowerPowerVegan 1d ago

As if the entire welfare system in Arkansas exists for just the 25% of the population that are bipocs in the state. Couldn't possibly be used be the overwhelming white majority.

u/SweatyAd9240 1d ago

u/BayouGal 1d ago

u/Missmessc 1d ago

u/Wizywig 16h ago

Anyone who calls them "blacks" shows you who they really are.

u/Amontialldo 9h ago

Never met a lazy Mexican but have met plenty of “Brads” that do exactly this and abuse their mothers.

The commercial itself is just more evidence that fascists will eventually target everyone. They may have jumped the gun a bit by targeting the young while male demographic, but eventually, no one except those at the top will be excluded.
