The advice I have read is that if you can pass as white then now would be a super-good time to start making the effort to pass because it's looking like it's going to be awful out there 🫂🫂🫂

EDIT TO ADD: this isn't about fooling a focused attempt by the US government. This is about avoiding the un-directed harrasment by redhats and cops that is certain to increase. It came from a grandmother in a mixed family who was advising her grandkids to consider bleaching their hair blonde, dressing differently and using sunscreen to ensure they don't get too tan. It isn't about fooling a deep check. This is just to avoid kneejerk rascim on the street by racists who are emboldened to be all of the racist that they can possibly be.

Anyone still fooling themselves into thinking this country is not filled to the brim with racists is about to have a rude awakening. I am not one of those ppl having been treated like shit by both blacks and whites throughout my life. Plenty of assholes on both sides but the white ppl in this country are t fucking around and most either can’t or won’t admit they chose Trump bc he makes them feel normal for believing POC are less than them and don’t deserve the same treatment. Until more non whites in this country fully understand that the way Black Americans understand that, it’s gonna be rough for them. I for one am HERE FOR IT! I’m an educated high earner in an affluent part of CA and can’t wait for the reality checks Americans voted for.

Quadruple this! I keep waiting for the fucking msm to address this, but they won't, as well as most average Americans. People don't like to feel "icky" knowing what their true biases are- they continue to refuse to admit to it.

I’m a white passing native, it doesn’t matter for me as the Feds have me demarcated as one, maybe they’ll make me move back to the Rez.

I live in the northern Midwest, where sunshine is absolutely not prevalent, and I'm not a fan of the sun anyway. My family is all from Mexico, and my dad was even born there. I've been mistaken a number of times before for being white, and my natural accent is a flat Midwestern one. I'm going to keep avoiding the sun at all costs and when I can afford it, I'll dye my hair a different, more "white person" color. That's while I work on being able to move up to Canada, which I hope will hold as its current state in the meantime.

Fück every single one of the delusional, selfish, self-serving, immature asshöles who made this happen. I wish they were the only ones whose lives would be jeopardized by this.
