      It seems to me that calling the use of the phrase racist is itself racist because it implies that only certain groups can be illegal aliens.

      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

          As an Englishman in New York Rhode Island I wonder if I described myself as a legal alien whether that would be considered racist, because it implies the existence of illegal ones.

          In which case, Sting is going to get cancelled. And not before time.

          I was only joking

            What about extra-terrestrial aliens? The little Greys often spoken about on Ancient Aliens. How do they fit into the racial scheme?
