    Ah well your prejudice would make you useful to them.

          Not really, I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard the name. These ICE agents are exactly the ones that would be accused of being an illegal Mexican immigrant under the current way ICE is functioning, and it feels ironic that they’re the ones killing other Americans for ICE’s sake.

            If you’re first thought on hearing a Mexican sounding name is that they can’t be American you would probably make a good ICE employee.

            It doesn’t matter if it’s hypocritical of them, it’s still racism on your behalf.

                You heard two Mexican sounding names and thought the exact same thing: “Two Mexicans killed an American, lmao.”

                Where do I need to learn to read?

                  It was a different person who said that, but they were defending it so it’s probably fair to lump them together.

                    My whole point was that he maybe wasn’t saying it literally. I might be wrong, but just pondering and giving alternative explanation is not the same as defending them.

                  The same thing I was saying is using ICE agents logic back on themselves. Did you really think I actually thought they were Mexican or something? My whole point was that the original comment might not mean it literally. Man, you people have trouble with reading comprehension, don’t you?

        It’s ok that I’m racist to this person, because I don’t like them!

        So ironic, so progressive.

          If my suggestion was correct, tell my how you think the other guy is racist when he doesn’t think they are actually Mexican?

            What.

            Lmao. What do they teach in schools these days… I don’t think that your suggestion is correct. The person called them Mexicans because they had Latino names.

              Yeah, so if that’s your argument against the likelihood of my explanation being true, that would make perfect sense. What I don’t understand is why people are so quick to accuse me of being racist as if I’m claiming them to be Mexican? All I see are people not wanting to understand what point I’m making and jumping to conclusions.

                It was the part where you said:

                Not really, I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard the name. These ICE agents are exactly the ones that would be accused of being an illegal Mexican immigrant under the current way ICE is functioning, and it feels ironic that they’re the ones killing other Americans for ICE’s sake.

                  You mean the part under the context where I said I’m using the logic ICE agents would use, not the logic I’m using personally? So no, I didn’t say I think they are Mexican.
