Black gay Republican podcaster Rob Smith has claimed that “white supremacist” members of his political party called him “fa**ot” and the n-word during his Sunday night attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix, Arizona. Though Smith posted a video of his brief interaction with the aggressors, commenters on X (formerly Twitter) noted that the video didn’t feature the n-word and mocked Smith his membership in an anti-gay political party.
“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘nr’ and ‘ft’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”

With respect you don’t have an understanding of the immigration rhetoric in America. If you did, you’d know that the conservatives are echo the exact same arguments you’re making here.
Yes, broken people subject to war, poverty, and lack of education do tend to as a group be less stable. We all know that. That’s the toll of regional instability and a price the world must pay to the piper.
The vast, vast majority assimilate quite effectively.
