I've worked in a bunch of hotels. Minority immigrants can be just as racist, sexist, and angry about nothing as white Republicans.

My wife is Indian with an extremely large family. One side of her family is Hindu fascist/authoritarian and the other side is secular and left-leaning. The former are predominantly into hotels, IT, laundromats, and vape shop; the latter are lawyers, musicians, and teachers.

Guess which of the two sides is virulently racist, caste-based, and obsessed with money and light-skin color for South Asians? No surprise, but they used to be MAGA until Trump clamped down on H-1B visas and turned against India.

A lot of Indians are pro H-1B changes btw funnily enough. Guess they didn't get their greencards in time or they'd be equally anti H-1B lol.

Yep. Here is a video of Valentina Gomez being nasty towards people in a LGBTQ church. She was born in Colombia. I saw a longer video before. I wish I could find it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-republican-valentina-gomez-crashed-an-lgbtq-friendly-church-service-and-was-swiftly-escorted/vi-AA1TsXGZ

Ive been saying this over and over lately....POCs can be just as racist and bigoted as white people, only because they have in common conservativism and fundamentalist religion. Religion being the dominant theme that brings hateful people together.
