    So is this the youth league or what?

    After shift do they all have to wait outside for their mothers to pick them up? I suppose it’s better than the alternative of have the actual thugs do it, but it looks so stupid.

      Asians, especially Chinese/Japanese/Korean people, have an interesting standing in many places outside of asia. They still experience a tonne of racism, but for some reason they don’t get nearly the violent hate that other people of colour get.

      Racism will say that Black people are criminals, latinos are lazy, and Middle Easteners are terrorists but most of what asian people seem to get are comments about weird food, good grades, and racist caricatures. They’re treated as this white-adjacent group. It won’t save them, but it does sorta explain why that kid is there.

      Now, the black and hispanic people who are part of ICE can get absolute rat-fucked a million ways to Sunday because they’re there for the love of the game at that point. Everyone in ICE is a bare-minimum terrible but holy shit, the fuck do they think they’re doing?

      Reach out to a kid who’s still figuring out his world view and offer him $45/hr to walk around an airport, and I think he might compromise his shaky morals a bit.

        I would have done it for the express purpose of being as incompetent as possible to jam up the works.

          I’d be afraid of what happens when the government inevitably leaks the list of TSA agents. It could pop up in every Google search for your name for the rest of your life. Or there could be vigilantes.

      I’ve seen a few people of color working for this ICE regime here and there. Not sure why they think it’s a good idea or it’s going to protect them. They are just an email away from being next and those white dude’s they work alongside will have no qualms about throwing them in a detention center.
