HALIFAX – In the wake of protests and inflamed tensions in the United States, the issues with the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement have been beautifully articulated by an all-White panel.
Immigrants and People of Colour living with the daily abuses of ICE agents in the United States are applauding the bold words of the recent panel discussion on popular podcast “Woke Whites Wednesdays”.
Somali immigrant Omar Abdi of Minneapolis expressed his appreciation. “Ever since I saw a group of masked men tackle my sister and throw cuffs on my 5-year-old nephew, I’ve been wondering ‘is this bad’? But, then Aaron Fairskinson said ‘it is’, and now I know it is! Thank you smart White man!”.
Emily Gutierrez, an inmate at the East Plainville Detention Center in Waco, Texas cited a different panelist for praise. “The part that really spoke to me was when Katherine Paledottir chimed in with ‘As a woman..'”, she explained. “That’s when I knew there was someone who really understood what I was going through. Certainly more so than those men being held in the center across the street. Speaking of which, if you pass by there, can you tell my brother I said ‘Hi’?”.
President of the Asian and Pacific Islander association of East Los Angeles, Ming Tran, appreciated the panel’s moment to offer helpful advice. “I think the most valuable piece of information came when Whitey McWhiteguy gave a detailed breakdown of how ICE can be abolished,” she noted as an officer placed a knee on the back of her neck. “I look forward to what I can only assume will be the swift implementation of such action”.
Ms. Tran did, however, caution that the panel wasn’t entirely without flaw, pointing out that “It would’ve been nice if they had included a White lesbian, or maybe a White trans man, y’know for diversity” as she took a face full of pepper spray. Pausing to scream, she continued “But, still, what matters is that they got the message out to their viewers, who tune in because they already have the exact same views and are thus able jerk each other off about what good, progressive, people they are”.
“I’m just glad they don’t have to suffer the discomfort that might come with talking to their racist uncle at Thanksgiving, or hiring a minority”.
For their part, the members of “Woke Whites Wednesdays” accepted the praise with typical humility. As Fairskinson insisted “We’re not heroes. But, please like and subscribe”.
