Check out the comments in the Washington Post article below (the article itself is amusing, but wait until you see the comments). Count how many times overt racism is present. Then count how many times less salient racism is illustrated. Like how many times the argument presented is based on the false assumption that immigrants “cost more in benefits than the tax dollars they bring in”. Or, how “they are taking jobs from us” (as if removing 10 million people from the economy–their solution–doesn’t hurt GDP). Am I over-reaching by seeing this as prejudiced against people stereotyped as lazy moochers?
