They, like observant Catholics, pay attention to what he DOES.
I think they pay attention to his rhetoric more than anything else. Do you think they examine his past conduct or how he misnames political opponents? Before he ran for office, Trump really never expressed any of the religious views which he does now.
Some say “Eres lo que tu madre es”
Don’t talk about somebody’s mama!
Why aren’t Japanese people white even though they have pale skin?
Because state legislation considered them ‘non-white’! Harry Bridges (a commie!) had to sue to marry a Japanese woman but the case only applied in one state. In the
Loving v. VA case Nisei filed an amicus brief because their status was all over the place --some states let them marry whites and some did not.
" On December 8, 1958, they flew into Reno from San Francisco and the next morning went to the Washoe County Courthouse. Lawyers already had warned them. As Sawada said when asked, “Are you black, white, brown, red or yellow?” she replied, “Under those categories, I must be yellow.” Attorney Sam Frankovich told the county clerk, Harry Brown, they should be able to get married. The identical statute had, after all, been held unconstitutional in California. But Brown said that ruling didn’t affect Nevada.
So Frankovich went to a state court. Judge Taylor Wines had been appointed to district court for Elko County in 1947 and heard this case in Reno. After oral arguments, Wines ordered a recess. When Wines came back, he told the attorneys he “saw no evil which would justify the state interfering with the freedom of an individual to marry.” The crowd in the courtroom applauded. Wines told Frankovich to prepare an order. He did, and Wines signed it. Bridges and Sawada returned to the courthouse, and Brown himself tended to the license, which cost five dollars. Then Justice of the Peace William Beemer performed their wedding.
But the fight wasn’t over. The county appealed the decision. In turns, Wines wrote an order explaining that the miscegenation law violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and Article One of the Nevada Constitution, which guarantees equality and our inalienable rights. But the Nevada legislature solved the problem. It passed a bill amending the original law to allow people of different races to live together after marriage. The legislature overwhelmingly approved and Governor Grant Sawyer signed it into law, eight years before the
Loving decision."
The terms “white” and “black” are not descriptive, they are terms of art.
