    If you need a scapegoat, you pick one that can’t defend itself as easy.

        They’re different, even if they’re very similar. The important part is that they look different, too, because if you talked about all the white immigrants taking the white-collar jobs people would have to actually think beyond just a face-value assessment. Brown is bad is a lot easier than person over there could be anything so I need to talk to them and form even a basic relationship with them to figure out what’s going on and by then I might not be able to hate them so absolutely.

        Being different is scary enough for those that lack education (either willingly or due to circumstances out of their control)
