Tucker Carlson Explains Why White People Aren't Designed to Live Around Immigrants

[ehrnst]

Just when you thought the sentient celery stalk who cosplays as a concerned-as-fuck-looking, mediocre, diet white nationalist on Fox News couldn’t get any whiter ...

You should know that there’s no limit to how low Caucasian shenanigans can go. Fox News’ proprietary brand of whiteness is like absolute zero and episodes of Real Housewives—the bottom is only theoretical.

On Tuesday night, the Great Value Eddie Haskell (you’re too young ... Google it) did a segment on a recent National Geographic article about how white people felt “left behind” by America’s changing demographics. The article tries to explain white America’s anxiety about losing its “culture” (which—as far as I can tell—is wholly made up of hacky sack, the most boring versions of church hymns and craft beer) by focusing on the coal town of Hazelton, Pa.

Tucker sums up the piece by explaining how Hazelton was 2.5 percent Hispanic in 2000 but that now the population is majority Hispanic.

“That’s a lot of change,” Carlson explained. “It’s happening all over the country. No nation, no society has ever changed this much, this fast,” said Carlson, conveniently forgetting about the colonization of South America, the rape of Africa and this little-known place called the United fucking States of America.

1. White people ARE immigrants, you Tuckhead.

[Angry Dragon]

2. TC is just out to make a buck

[Hoyt]

3. I think that's letting him off too easy. There are better ways of making a buck than spreading that

racist junk. I think he is a perfect example of a deplorable, right down to his soul.

4. This article in no way means to imply that Tucker Carlson is not the devil.

Great writing. "Great Value Eddie Haskell"

BTW I'll never forget Jan. 20th 2009 fTucker was on Morning Joe whining about all these people in DC and all this security that made it soooo hard for him to walk down the street and get a cup of coffee. He was throwing a hissy fit and the rest of the group were ragging him out about it.

7. This Is The Third Piece I've Read By Him

He's really good! Peppy and concise. I like him a lot.

9. Also very funny snark. nt

5. My objection is the notion that craft beer is an important part of life in Trumpistan.

Don't they all drink mass market swill out in the provinces? Budweiser? Miller? etc?

Craft beer is more for the above-average half of America. You know, the people with taste, judgement, and discernment?

I haven't had a mass-market beer in over thirty years. Life is too short to drink shitty beer.

6. I grew up in 99% "pure" affluent white Christian U.S.A., a fucking hell on earth.

My siblings, my parents, and I fled as soon as we were able. (To make apologies for my parents, they are artists and couldn't be too picky about their day jobs. Very soon after my dad retired they were out of there.)

I quit high school for college, which was one of the better decisions I've made in my life. Being a minor college student was sometimes awkward, but my middle and high school experience was at times a "Lord of the Flies."

Never underestimate the cruelty of entitled pricks who believe God is with them. Most of these guys did not improve with age, I've crossed paths with them a few times since at weddings and funerals and such. Them that stayed tend to have very narrow views about the world, isolated as they are in fortress white, even those who have done missionary work in places like Haiti. Maybe especially them.

Prosperity Gospel white Christianity ruins everyone and everything it touches. Forget Matthew 19:23-26

I haven't lived in white majority communities for two-thirds of my life now and I wouldn't have it any other way. Even as a white "minority" in my community I'm still extended white privilege.

My own wild west white grandfather was upset I was marrying in his words "a Mexican girl." The men in his family simply didn't do that. He did not attend our wedding. To his credit, he got over it.

8. A hundred years ago they were saying that about my grandparents

and others from Eastern and Southern Europe. And before that, they said that (and did worse) about Japanese and Chinese immigrants. And before that it was the Irish and Germans. And before that there was probably someone else the ruling majority could dump on.

Carlson seems to keep forgetting that a large part of the US used to be part of Mexico. And other large parts used to be French territories, and others were independent countries. And that's not even considering the peoples who were here when the 17th century immigrants arrived.

10. Not at all the first time Hazleton has had a large immigrant

population. At the turn of the century and well into the 30's Hazleton had a very large Jewish immigrant population, mostly from Russia and Poland. I doubt it's had more than 20 years without a significant presence from people who spoke different languages, professed different religions and weren't 'like the others'. The latest anti-immigration wave in Hazleton is brought to you by two particularly vile Rethug scumbags - Lou Barletta, who made his bones as Mayor of Hazleton deliberately harrassing immigrants and his BFF 'professional' associate, the infamous Kansas Secretary of State Kris (KKK) Kobach. Kobach enthusiastically helped Barletta write Hazleton's very first laws barring immigrants from such unnecessary things like being able to rent apartments or sign up to receive water or electricity. Barletta, an ambitious and up and coming small town Nazi who parlayed his Tea Party anti-immigrant credentials into a seat in the US House of Representatives had a solution in search of a problem, which Kobach wet his pants running to help. Between the two of them they thrust this sleepy previously coal-mining town straight into ignomy in the national headlines. No wonder Eddie Haskell picked Hazleton for his charming little presentation.

11. Seychelles? What's the odds that Tucker Carlson's father was ambassador to the Seychelles?

.

I swear, I never really heard of it, and now it's all over the news.

Everyone Trumper seems to have some sort of a connection there.

Carlson was born in San Francisco, California, the elder son of Richard Warner Carlson, a former Los Angeles news anchor and U.S. ambassador to the Seychelles, . . .
