(58,785 posts)180. Those other groups are too big. They might hurt him.
There are reasons this kind goes after Jews at 2% of the population (and now Muslims, less than 1%), but top among their being chosen over most others is that their numbers make them a safe target.
Notice how they're now grabbing the opportunity when we can't stop them to persecute undocumented immigrants, too weak to protect themselves, much less fight back. Of course they want them gone, but the people they really want to go after are the Hispanics who are beyond their reach -- U.S. citizens they'd "cleanse" the nation of if they could. But non-white Hispanics are 18% of the population, and adding in white Hispanics doubles that, so they're far too powerful to take on.
Poor dears. So frustrating.
