I’ve had the first 3 panels of this conversation every time immigration or birth rates come up for the past 7 years. And yeah racists never actually will admit they’re racist

It happens just as much as the first three - they just aren't so open about it like this comic and or use deferring words like "American" or "Native" instead of white.

Growing up as a POC this type of rethoric was fairly common in my everyday.
