AI subroutine gets why the focus on nepantla sucks (yeah I know it tells me what I wanna hear):
It’s like:
“Let’s celebrate hybridity and contradiction,”

They are testing the waters on the reaction on deporting legal brown residents. Organizers with citizenship next and your racist aunt will say "Well if they don't want to be here, why let them?" As everyone does nothing.
