    That, and you’re basically asking a Jew in Nazi Germany to not serve an SS troop. I don’t expect that level of courage from myself. So I won’t expect that from anyone else.

    Fair enough, I don’t know what I’d do in the same place. My sister is a (white, American-born) restaurant manager in LA and she sends everyone to the back whenever ICE/border patrol has come by (at one point her restaurant was handing out bilingual cards listing your rights and a legal advice phone number, so they came several times to ask about them), then lets out 25 years of customer service frustration at them. My sister is a special case in meanness, but they’ve tucked their tails between their legs and left every time.

    Obviously not every restaurant has a mean white lady who hates ICE, but it might be a good idea to hire one. Actually, I know a bunch of frustrated, furious white women who feel helpless right now and would love to do it. Maybe this is a matchmaking opportunity.

      Angry white women, using their privilege in today’s society to fight fascist, are the secret weapon of the working class. I don’t care if their “cringe” to some people. I’m all for the wine mom’s and their whistles right now.
