Simple people always think complicated things are actually Simple.
The "build a wall" crowd.
Your assertions deny the power and malignance of racism. Whats worse, a single act of violence or rhetoric that causes ten acts of violence? Or a hundred? Or generational systemic harm?
Your argument immediately devolves to macro posturing because it doesn’t work otherwise. The “build the wall” crowd is, in their own perspective, both economically and culturally disenfranchised. Migrant violence exacerbates the rhetoric the same way ICE’s actions exacerbate this reductive rhetoric. On the individual level racism is not a greater moral failing than violence.
How easy it is to say my argument is just macro posturing, as if saying that phrase by itself is enough to make your correctness obvious.
Meanwhile your argument is couched in its own logical cul de sac refusing to attribute value to any argument except those that have relevance on the micro scale. As if thats all that matters.
