Iām uprooting my life and moving to Mexico by the end of the month because these racist fuckwads were more concerned about owning the libs than preserving democracy. On the bright side, our destination looks really cool, but Iāve spent the last 10 years working on this place:

That also raises the question of who is āwhiteā. When Italians first came to the US they were considered ādarkā but now are generally assimilated into the white category. My grandmother, very light skinned and of Spanish descent considered herself white but would not be categorized that way today.
