White House walks back Biden comments on migrant families payments

43. "It's a DU myth that only white people are classiest and racist."

I have friends who are Cuban and these friends do NOT like most Mexicans, El salvadorians, Guatemalans, and anybody from Central America (Like I mentioned, my mexican friend said her family has been in the US for hundreds of years, and who are they to come here and take my job). My late aunt (Who was married to my Mom's brother was one of the first black fire captains in the Army) was from Japan. Loved her, but she did not like, get along with or trust some Koreans or Chinese people. People don't like to hear this, but there are people from other countries who come over to the US and look down on black people. My late Mom was a nurse back in the 50's and into the early-80's until she retired, and there were many a patient from another country who didn't want her touching them. Mom said she'd encounter one of these patients, then she'd go to the nurses station and request a white nurse so the patient could receive care, and usually the white nurses were pissed knowing this, but what could they do? They went and assisted the patient etc. Mom was used to having older white patents from the South not wanting her to touch their breakfast plates (Even WITH a lid covering the food no less). She grew up in the South and was used to that from them. As a supervisor in her later years, Mom was the one who black nurses came to who said I need a white nurse, because patient whatever on 7 South wouldn't let me near him/her and started screaming. My Mom would say, yes I heard/saw the buzzer going off. Mom would request a white nurse who'd say what we got. The patient doesn't want nurse X touching him/her. Oh, we got another bigot, Mom would say Yes

Personally, I try to get along with "people, humans" first because I know not everybody is racist from a certain group/race of people or country. One of my late Mom's friends for life was a Republican who grew up wealthy and privileged in Michigan, but they knew each other for over 60 years and my late Mom inherited a very large cash gift, jewelry and other things from her in fact when this woman passed away. Mom was stunned. Now, if someone gives me a reason NOT to be friendly and NOT get along with them (I can most often tell racism when I encounter it), I reply in kind.
