I think people just wouldn't expect Taylor Swift's father to think like that. But it's not that uncommon. No, they are literally calling him a racist. The word racist is loosely used and always used if you want to attack someone. People should be a bit more intelligent and use other words that actually describe the persons bad actions. That should be enough to make the person look bad and criticized publicly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might not sound racist to you doesnât necessarily mean is not and she did exposed his Facebook to the public. Also if there was anything wrong why delete the post and deactivate your Facebook page? Just because you read what he said and find nothing wrong doesnât mean that us POC donât see the racisms behind it. Is racist to say that you are giving monetary aide to all illegals when he doesnât even know that theyâre the ones working the fields and doing the handwork Taylorâs dad wonât do...racist at its best Hottie Detector Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can be against illegal immigration without my opinions being licked to the government actions. For example, someone can support the war on drugs, this does not make them racist even though the war on drugs is racist as it only targets black people. Someone can join the military without being linked to anti muslim war governments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant make assumptions with something as big as racism. Simply saying you dont want illegals is not racist, thats the opinion of everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And no one is attacking Taylor here, sheâs not responsible for her fatherâs views.   Exactly, and like the post you mentioned, documented Latino/Hispanics are being rounded up too. And another reason why his rhetoric is racist is because he doesn't talk about how white supremacists and Nazis are benefiting from our taxes... Suddenly undocumented people are the problem and are stealing all our money... No, they aren't... but rich white men on Wall Street and corporate America are... And yet white people won't blame them. They'll blame the brown people.... And again to the ignorant people here, Melania became a citizen AFTER coming to work here undocumented. She eventually gained citizenship just like many brown and black folks. But the racists on here don't seem to care about those facts nor the systemic racism that plays the part.
