This is something I've been saying in recent years too. My version is that
everyone is racist but some people are better at keeping peace than others.
(not that one group is better, but one person is better than another)

But I don't see the immigration proposal as racist, just lousy and phoned-in.

I don't see white people benefiting from it, except for those whites who have
in-demand skills and who are coming from other countries. If more whites
benefit from this type of immigration plan (which is unlikely) that would be
either by chance, or because of racism is their home country.

My dissatisfaction with this plan is because we have a huge problem with
illegal immigration, but the president is playing around with some crayons
and construction paper.
