Rishi Sunak was born in Southampton to parents of Indian descent who immigrated to Britain from East Africa in the 1960s. Perhaps he and his parents if still alive will be emigrating back to Africa? Immigrants going after immigrants. As far as Zeteo, Medhi is MSNBC’s loss, journalism’s gain.

Here in the US, immigrant groups have historically gone from being demonized to being accepted as fully White through service in the police and military (there's a reason why "Irish cop" was a long-running ethnic stereotype, eventually supplanted by "Italian-American cop from Long Island") Today, Hispanic men with no college education can still find entry into the middle class in a job where their bilingual skills are an asset: Customs and Border Patrol. To the extent that Trump is enjoying some increase in support among Texas Hispanics, this could be a factor. In short, the wages of Whiteness are the betrayal of your own people.
