What's the difference between culturalism and racism?

Does this Trumpist make any sort of valid point?

Is "culture" a protected class?

For that matter, is Trumpism?

"And when we've seen in Minneapolis that 50% of the people who are naturalized engaged in immigration fraud, and we're seeing the largest fraud in terms of welfare programs perhaps in the history of our country, we know there's a problem. And the president speaks in language that Americans understand. He is blunt. He's not a politician—neither am I. And so I support as he is making people understand the threats that we're under right now."

I would love to see references to the supposed fraud. We should really understand it if we're really under a threat, and I would also like the Congressman to publish his findings. It's not like Trump and Vance have not already gone racist with their claims that immigrants plan on eating your pets.

But to answer the question: it is racism.

Fine is full of BS. "Some people come to this country to add value, some come take value"

Of the people who are already here some add value and some take value. It's not racist or cultural. People from all cultures are the same in that regard.

It's hard to separate race from culture. Historically races have been isolated from each other. It's only natural that each would develop cultural differences of all kinds. Both religious and social. Obviously some cultural norms are considered bad practice by nearly all people. Genital mutilation, child forced marriage and honor based violence comes to mind.

Fine is providing cover for racists.
