The correct answer to "Why the sticker?" is "Why the fascism?"
I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.
One time, I was smoking a cigarette in my car, outside of my house. A cop pulled up behind me and blasted their lights. They asked me a ton of questions, most of which I refused to answer. I gave them ID which had my FUCKING address, and they still said, "You ain't from around here are you?". Mother fucker, you don't even live in this zipcode. You are at MY address. It was a Pacific beach surfing sticker and a Bernie sticker. They also told me to take them off. They went off in a pout, and the deputy told me they were just training the newbie. To what, profile people?
To profile people? Yep.
This is an example of resistance as culture. It might be a small act but it demonstrates the point.
I think that's something that could work. Things like fashion to mess with facial recognition. Movies or tasks to mess with our algorithms. Distracting facsists with a flag. Culturally, capitalism feeds on the creativity of leftists type people and always has done. We can't feed it anti-capitalism because that just feeds it. So, we have to make fucking with the machine the culture itself and offer something they never can: warmth, community and authenticity.
It's the little things that really add up.
add a Mexican flag to your vehicle
cover your face with a wide brimmed hat and mask
wear t-shirts with faces of Mexican people on it to mess with facial recognition
telephone the ice hotline and report illegals hanging out at a local business, give them the address of a police station or (r) senators office
film every interaction you see and upload it to social media
follow ICE vehicles back to their depots, then follow the agents home and make a note of their address
send printed covertly taken photos of their spouses, parents, and children along with a boxcutter to their office
Just little things we can do as a community.
Jfc god forbid you have a flag of another country. How dare you like anything about another country aside from America. Fucking fascists.
I guess a German flag from a specific time frame would do for them as well.
They're going to pull you over to invite you to a job interview.
Italian Flags look identical to Mexican Flags from a distance.
Just putting this out there, for anyone who wants to experience Italian Discrimination firsthand.
They only love the food, but if you're not Murican... they don't love you.
I am definitely stealing 'white as a hotel towel' to refer to myself and other mayonaise-complexioned people, that's incredible, hahaha!
United States should change its name to "State"
Fascist States of America.
Hmm. Yeah, you're right. I'm just being redundant.
I'm a white hotel towel Mexican
Always thought it was strange to mark "White, Hispanic" on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don't you.
If you didn't know my last name you'd never guess I wasn't "American"
You mean like Texas Senator Rafael “Ted” Cruz?
Some people even secretly say that Spanish was invented by white people
If I recall correctly, it's actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented "white, Hispanic".
Well shit, I'm gonna buy a whole 1000 pack of Mexican flag stickers and throw them on every car in every parking lot I see.
Funny until they decide you are aiding 'illegals'.
White women get treated the nicest anyway, pretty sure they'll be fine
Hmm... not sure if getting sexually harassed by a white male cop is exactly "get treated the nicest"
"Obnoxious creatures" fucking gold.
Cute, and dangerous, to think the fascists wont put you on the bus anyway .
Actually such a good idea. I might not do it because I currently dont have any form of I.D. (Lost my birth cert, dont have a passport and just lost my DL) and I have gotten mistaken for Mexican a few too many times.
Hit up your local Department of Social Services (or similar), and try to get an ID voucher from them. They might also have resources (type varies just ask) to help you get your Birth certificate, too. And once acquired, get that passport ASAP. Never know if you'll need to leave forever.
Wasn't "Papers please" supposed to be some soviet hell?
Congratulations USA.
Glory to Arstotzka.
All fun and games until they throw her in a cage. I hate to break it to you, when ICE is kidnapping people, they aren't checking your documents first. They're just disappearing you to the back of the van. If they happen to get a few citizens too, well that's just collateral damage.
One can hope it would result in a massive lawsuit, public outrage, and change. My bet is that it doesn't even make headlines, Faux News slanders the woman for being an "immigrant sympathizer" and the Trump administration tries to strip her citizenship for aiding and abetting enemies of the state (you know Jesus who pays his taxes and picks fruit seasonally in Arizona).
I'm not white and I often joke about putting an American flag in my front yard to avoid racist attacks
Better option: find a swasticar, and stick a flag on the back of it. Waste the time of the pig and the trumpster in a cybertruck
I can remember when everyone in mexico got really really outraged by the Texas law SB4, but now racial profiling is really common
Well I know what I'm definitely doing. Fucking cunts.
Well in the unlikely event they provided any name or identifying info, this is a 1984 lawsuit. Illegal detention. Depravation of rights under color of law. I'm sure they didn't give any of that up given the trend we've seen.
