For Donald Trump, Project 2025, the Republican Party, the MAGA movement and the racist white moron supremacists, their fight to keep America "white" is a futile exercise based on ignorance. Ignorance of science (which is why they hate science). As I have often said, racism - the misconception of difference between people based solely on skin color - is very very stupid.
Each one of us carries millions of traits, a tiny fraction of which are visible to the naked eye, essentially eye color, skin color, hair color, the shape of ears and noses, and more if you want to focus on every puny little detail like skull shape, which the imbeciles of 19th century England used to "prove" that whites are superior to non-whites. [https://theconversation.com/how-the-racist-study-of-skulls-gripped-victorian-britains-scientists-262280].
Those millions of traits that are beneath the skin are invisible. They are in every molecule that make up our cells and tissues, that make our systems function... We don't see them, so we are blind to them, and so we can't use them to distinguish between a white person and a black person. In other words, a black person from West Africa, for example, may share 99.99% of their traits with a person from northern Finland without knowing it (hence ignorance) because those traits are invisible to the naked eye, but racists want you to believe that the 0.01% visible traits (skin, eye, hair colors...) constitute ALL the differences between those two people, and can thus be used to idiotically decide that a white person is "better" (closer to God, in fact) than a black person.
All the pseudo-scientific garbage of "eugenics" was promoted by the religious, political and economic establishments to justify colonialism: since white people are better than black people, then white people are justified in invading, colonizing and mistreating black people. All of this is based on religious garbage of even more dubious biblical vintage written by smelly nomadic goat-herders in the Arabian deserts of the Bronze and Stone Ages. God made this and that. God favored Abel over Cain. God chose one smelly tribe over others as his favorite pet people.... How can anyone in our time still believe this crap is a mystery unveiled by how ignorant most people still are. Literacy is no longer just about writing, reading and counting to ten. It is understanding our material world, who we really are, what we're made of, where do we come from and how we have evolved over millions of years.
When you have an illiterate ignorant white-trash imbecile like Trump at the helm, racism becomes normal because he has created a cult of like-minded ignoramuses who perpetuate the racist bullshit as if it were "revealed from high above".
When I question religious (say, Christian) people about their fantasmagoric beliefs, they often ask me in return, "But can 2.6 billion Christian believers be all wrong?" My answer is, "If I am to accept that the sheer number of imbeciles who believe the christian faith is sufficient evidence that all its bullshit is true, then I have to apply the same criterion (two billion imbecile Muslim believers) to the Muslim faith and admit that they too are right, or that the 1.2 billion Hindus with their thousands of gods are also right... simply because they are so numerous.
Mass blindness is very common among the human species. Our brain is a dangerous enemy to itself and to the species: It cares not for the truth, it cares only for survival, even at the expense of the truth. Our brain requires answers to every little thing in our environment, including answers to our existence and our mortality. Our brain is constantly evaluating everything around us, and demanding answers. When there are no facts or evidence to provide a coherent answer, our brain fools itself and us by making up and inventing answers that have no basis in reality or fact. That is what religion is: Bullshit answers to questions our brain asks because we have no reliable factual answers.
When the plague hit Europe during the Middle Ages, people did not know that invisible (to the naked eye) bacteria, viruses and other unicellular organisms are everywhere in us, on us and around us. Since they had no idea why there is such a horrible thing such as the plague, they made up an answer to quench their brains' thirst for answers: God must be punishing us. The plague is caused by God. There's your answer. Now, 500 years later, the plague rarely makes an appearance (because sience has not only found the answer but it also found a cure), and when it does, we know for a fact that the bacteria Yersinia pestis causes the plague. Hence, God is out, and Yersinia is in: We have a more reliable answer to the plague question.
This simple example can be extrapolated to all our interactions between our brain and the environment. Everything we do, say and believe requires us to have answers, regardless of whether the answers are factual or bullshit: Why are we here? Why do we die? In fact, our brain is such a treacherous entity that it makes us believe in fake immortality because it refuses to accept our mortality. Most, if not all, religions offer a "beyond death existence": it could be eternal life in some fancy resort somewhere up in the sky. Or we (our so-called "souls") are beamed into some other form of existence on this earth such as the transmutation, transmigration, resurrection or reincarnation. None of it is, of course, real. It is all imagined by our brain to calm itself from its chronic anxiety about death. Our brain is like a drug dealer, handing us sedatives and imaginary mind-altering drugs to keep us going, to survive in our environment, because those ignorant among us refuse to accept death as the end of it all.

Trump tells white Fox News host that immigrants who should be barred from US don’t have 'your genetics'

President Donald Trump told “Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade, who is white, that immigrants do not have “your genetics” during a Friday phone interview on immigration. He paired the statement with claims that migrants entering the U.S. are criminals and should be barred. By linking criminal behavior to biology, Trump's comments suggested a fundamental racial distinction between migrants and white Americans.
Trump’s eugenics language
Trump made the remarks while responding to questions about violent incidents involving individuals identified as Muslim, arguing that some “shouldn’t have been let in” while others “go bad.” He said, “They’re sick people, and a lot of them were let in here. They shouldn’t have been let in,” before adding, “Others are just bad. They go bad. Something wrong — there’s something wrong there.”
He then attributed that behavior to biology, saying, “Their genetics are not exactly your genetics, it’s one of those problems, Brian. It’s a terrible thing, and it happens, it happens too often,” linking criminality to inherited traits rather than individual actions or circumstances.
The language reflects a core idea associated with eugenics, the long-debunked belief that social outcomes such as crime or behavior are determined by genetics and differ across groups. That framework has historically informed exclusionary immigration policies and was a defining feature of Nazi racial ideology under Adolf Hitler, where hereditary difference was used to justify hierarchy and exclusion.
Not hiding white supremacism
Trump’s comments drew criticism from policy analysts and journalists, many of whom focused on his use of genetics to describe immigrants and its historical implications.
David J. Bier, director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, wrote that the language reflects ideas that have shaped past U.S. immigration restrictions, stating, “Trump is an old-school eugenicist nativist. He actually is fine with immigrants as long as they have the right 'genes.'”
Journalist Alex Cole pointed to what he described as a contradiction in Trump’s framing, writing on X, “Imagine being the grandson of immigrants, who dyes his hair, paints his face orange, and wears lifts, lecturing the country about 'genetics.' The irony writes itself.”
Journalist Mehdi Hasan offered a more direct characterization: “He's a white supremacist. He doesn't hide it.”
History of rhetoric invoking “blood,” genetics
Trump’s reference to “genetics” builds on years of rhetoric in which he has described immigrants as threats defined by identity and, more recently, by genes.
At the launch of his first presidential campaign in 2015, Trump framed immigration in terms of crime, describing Mexican immigrants as “rapists” bringing “drugs” and “crime” into the U.S. That framing established a baseline argument centered on behavior and threat. As president in 2020, he repeatedly referred to COVID-19 as the “China virus,” a label that researchers and scholars later linked to a documented rise in anti-Asian hate incidents.
By 2023, his rhetoric had shifted more explicitly toward heredity. At multiple campaign events, Trump said immigrants were “poisoning the blood of our country,” invoking language that historians and analysts have noted parallels earlier exclusionary ideologies. The phrasing closely mirrors passages in Hitler’s Mein Kampf, which originally warned of national decline through “blood poisoning.”
While some Trump supporters have dismissed comparisons to the Nazi leader as exaggerated, the overlap extends beyond rhetoric, as his use of biological language has been paired with policies, including restrictions and bans on immigration from Muslim-majority countries, sweeping limits on asylum at the southern border, large-scale deportation operations, aggressive ICE enforcement actions, immigrant detention facilities that have faced criticism over conditions and efforts to strip citizenship from certain naturalized Americans, among others.
