6. Yes, but the (agitprop-fueled) perception often trumps reality, especially among magats

They always seek confirmation when they are doing their "research" online; they only tune in to RW media which pushes "replacement" theory and fear of the invading Other. Thus they live in a bubble.

The replacement theory is the idea that DEI is a modern form of affirmative action which blocks capable whites, especially white males, from promotions and opportunities. Another arm of replacement theory these days focuses on the migrants "flooding" over the borders and not being stopped by a magic wall 2,000 miles long (and then they'll need another one 5,500 miles long against Canada).

tRumpism and magatry will use whoever they can find as a useful idiot. It doesn't mean they embrace more than a very few among non-whites. Have you seen the crowds at tRump rallies? (aside from a few strategically placed obvious non-whites behind the orange guy)
