Although perhaps not as obvious but what is basically "racism"

I agree that racism is extremely common throughout the world. I once
read that human societies (from tribes up to nations) tend to
welcome
single foreigners as interesting temporary visitors, but tend to get
much more skeptical when, say, clusters show up to move in. And when
larger numbers arrive, it's treated as an "invasion."

The U.S. is an oddball country. Its origin was based on (mostly

unclaimed; then on importing (mostly) Europeans in wave after
wave to
make productive use of the land.

But each new wave went through the "invasion" gauntlet. "No Irish

Apply" and all that. But most - Irish, German, Italian, Polish,
etc. -
were eventually able to blend in.

Those of African origin could not blend in unless they were white
enough
to "pass." They're still considered part of an "invasion." And
yes, that
attitude has been in our institutions for a long, long time.

But racism in the USA today is most commonly practiced by so called
"people of color" and their white sycophants.

Trump was taken "by surprise" when the Nazis showed up to
dinner.

More of an indication of his lack of awareness. Someone approved
Fuentes, he at least would have had to have been vetted by the secret
service. It may very well be that trumps minions were well aware and
didn't say anything to trump as it suited their agenda.

PS Can people even "turn up to dinner" at the White House? Is
there no filtering ? Surprised hobos don't turn up for a free dinner.
Or even curious people. "Wonder what the POTUS eats"....

This was Mar a lago, when Biden was president.

Ah. They probably paid tickets then...
