Nice answer, so, a quick reply to that.
I guess ethnicity might be the strongest force in this country of immigrants, but I think it's used by the elites to divide and conquer the WORKING CLASS.
As long as black, brown, white, yellow and red people are bickering about where their goddamn ancestors came from, and who was here first, and why, and who is better, and bla bla bla, there is no chance that working people can present a united front and say THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.
Personally, maybe because I'm a weirdo, I identify very little with the "Latino" box where the paperwork wants to classify me. I mean yeah I came from Latin America so what. I have many other concerns besides my fucking genetics, which are full global mongrel anyway. Besides, the whole point of culture is that it can transcend genetics-- I can read Chinese poetry without being Chinese, listen to African music without being African, and enjoy Greek myths without having ever set food in Greece, and watch German fussball without thinking that I'm German.
So, yeah, I've had it up to my balls with the race business. Not that it's not a social force regardless of scientific basis, but holy fuck, there's more to life than being a fucking show dog of a certain breed.
Ha ha ha, I got carried away, damn, anyway, rant over.
But yes-- class should matter more than race when it comes to politics except the fucking humans aren't smart enough to realize this shit.
Okay rant really over.
