    Every time I hear sirens, I feel scare af, thinking its the gestapo.

    I’m a naturalized citizen btw, but I still don’t feel safe (I’m not white).

      I’m white AF, and my family has been here since the 1650s on one side, and 1720s on the other side. We literally funded a decent portion of the revolution. I’m still scared. They are coming for everyone that isn’t them.

      Don’t worry, they won’t arrive in uniforms with sirens. They’ll arrive silently in masks.

      Hell, even birthright citizens aren’t safe if they are perceived as non-white.
