No, I have recognized Mexicans as white for a very long time. For purposes of The discussion that started on page 93 of this thread, I was distinguishing using more commonly recognized terms related to skin tone.

Race is, literally, based on “skin tone.”

Good point. I didn't see anything about this guy in the Fox News article.

Torres' husband, George Retes, is an Army veteran and U.S. citizen, and works as a security guard at Glass House Farms in the Camarillo area.

Retes' vehicle remains outside Glass House Farms, and his wife says she's called every law enforcement agency in the area, but nobody knows where her husband was taken.

"He really did try to leave, so I don't know what's going to happen from here. I really hope I get a phone call or something, because I'm getting torn apart. My kids are asking where their dad is. I keep having to lie, saying he's at work," Torres said.

Retes' daughter turns 3 years old on Saturday.

"He has a bad back, and he's disabled, and it clearly says it in the back of his car that he's a disabled veteran. This is how you're going to treat U.S. citizens?" said Destinee Magana, Retes' sister.

I just heard about this today. If this is what it appears to be, I hope he sues that fuck out of the government and takes them for millions.

Yes by me. Mexicans are brown skinned and apart of the Caucasian race.

Race doesn't exist genetically. It's not a thing.

More Mexicans are brown because of admixture with indigenous Americans. In the Mexico, Central American, and especially the Caribbean, there is also admixture with those of African decent, since there was initially a significant amount of slavery: Creole. In northern Brazil, people are "multi-racial," although I don't believe the term Creole applies. In southern Brazil a combination of Mediterranean (Italian, Portuguese) and even German with white ot lighter brown skin reside.

Regardless, many white Americans tend to be prejudiced against people with brown skin. I guess we can thank Trump for revealing it about ourselves. We (especially MAGA) are Frankenstein. Trump is Frankenstein's monster. So we should be surprised when the monster spins out of control.

It wasn't in the fox article. I guess they conveniently forgot to include it. However, what wasn't included in the ABC article is the number of people with criminal records, including child abuse, that were working alongside unaccompanied children. Both sides left out information to attempt to lead people to the opinion they wanted them to have. I'm sure lawtig didn't provide that info either. If he did, my apologies.

“… new data obtained by the UC Berkeley School of Law’s Deportation Data Project shows that 47 percent of people arrested by the agency in June had no criminal charges or convictions.

… The 47 percent figure is up from just 21 percent in early May, before White House aide Stephen Miller demanded officers make 3,000 arrests per day or be fired. Even ICE’s own data from June shows that 42 percent of its average 930 daily arrests involved people with no charges or convictions against them. …”

ICE - it's almost as if Trump's masked army were vigilantes with no real experience in lase enforcement or the basic principles of being a professional federal agent.

Dermal melanin phenotype. Man, I remember how I could change race back in the day by just hanging out in the local pools, skiing in the Pamlico River, Pine Knoll Shores, etc. I mean we were playing more funk music, eating fried chicken and cantaloupe, watermelon from the garden...good times.

I read that also, but he was a security guard who was just arriving at work. I've heard of business owners being arrested for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, but never security guards.
