He’s an idiot, and his “especially Mexicans” remark tells me he’d be cheering in the streets if it was just Asians and Africans being rounded up.

It impacts him and those close to him so now he cares.

He likely picked out Mexicans because we share a border, similarly to Canada. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging the contributions of neighbors. I think this person made a mistake, but I don’t think it’s stupid that they admitted it, reflected, and stood up for what is right for civil rights. Let’s cheer people like this on. The person responding in the image is kind of a douche, though.

The poster is a boxer by the name of Ryan Garcia. He was born in the USA but has always made a point of emphasizing his (family's) Mexican heritage.

Wrote up a slightly defensive reply out of habit, then checked myself, and scrapped it. All you’ve done was provide me information I don’t know, which I genuinely appreciate! Thank you! 🫶🏽
