Do you think illegal is a racist code word for "not white"?

Did Biden use a racist code word about non-white immigrants

(He says it somewere around 1:33 in the video)

or do you disagree with those who say that word is a racist code word for immigrants who are not white?

[BoopBoopBeep]

Only the people who are flagrant simpletons believe "illegal" is codeword for non-whites.

Buncha non-whites in this house that talk about the need to keep the illegals out all the time. What's that about? Confusion?

[Sasahara]

Agree, but I have seen such simpletons on this site, and this question is dedicated to give them the chance of calling Biden a racist.

[BoopBoopBeep]

True story.

IT put pelosi's panties in a bunch.

No. There are legal non-"white" citizens and immigrants of every race and ethnicity in the USA. Diversity is what make this country so unique and great.

"Illegal" means exactly that. Illegals are invaders. In defying our laws, they are, by definition, criminals. If they were "white" (and some of them are), they would still be illegal.

I will say that Biden is two-faced on this issue. He created the problem and now he's trying to act like he is powerless to fix it. But hey, Biden has been self-serving and disingenuous for his entire life.

I believe you have to treat your citizens with compassion and respect and give everyone a fair chance before you cast them out of your presence. I’ve been mistreated by racist people who are black or Indian or Korean but that does not give me the right judge all black or Indian or Korean people. I’ve met amazing people from these groups, just as I’ve met trashy losers from these groups. Racial profiling is wrong, even when you are formerly a victim of it by others from a particular group of people for your cultural background.

No, "illegal" is clearly shorthand for "illegal immigrants," which isn't a racially charged label no matter how much the radical left likes to pretend it is. In fact, those same people should be asked about the massive numbers of specifically Chinese entering the country illegally receiving special treatment from the federal government since that's a subject they will do anything to avoid for reasons that can only be assumed to be corruption-related, at best.

I disagree with those who say illegal is a racist code word for immigrants who are not white. Or at least, "code words" require the person to be knowledgeable of the code and I don't think Biden really is. Other people might mean it that way, though. It just doesn't mean that by default.

[sawno]

No, illegal means they came into the country without permission. If I did it in the US I'd be an illegal to.

[WindyandWarms]

No, it’s not. And Biden couldn’t even get the dead girl’s name right.

[JacobJordan]

If a white person commits a crime is that crime legal or illegal? Illegal so it applies to white people too therefore it is not racist. Class dismissed

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Illegal means that individual is in the country illegally, breaking federal laws.

[anon57897]

It's a woke word for "against the law."

[Jerre]

Not at all racist
