    If I was kicking the shit out of a Mexican in the USA and calling them an immigrant, it would be a hate crime.

      That analogy doesn’t really make sense…

      Here’s a real life example of what I heard witness multiple fights out there:

      Local vs local

      You’re a bitch ass cuz

      Local vs mainlander (regardless of race)

      You’re a bitch ass haole

      That’s it.

      It ain’t deeper than a substitute for a word that denotes familiar relations…

      You seem awfully desperate to find an example of white victimhood though

        You seem awful willing to dismiss hate against a white person like it’s okay to hurt them because they’re white.
