Vacationers have long known that Miami group chats can be a force for evil. Friendship-ruining, relationship-destroying, and, in the case of the Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party, a national scandal.
The Miami Herald reported this week that the local Republican chapter’s recently established Whatsapp group chat for young conservatives was quickly overrun with racist and misogynistic posts. According to the Herald, users threw around racist slurs against Black and Jewish people with abandon, including hundreds of instances of the n-word.
In one instance, College Republicans Recruitment Chair Dariel Gonzalez wrote that “you can f–k all the [k***s] you want. Just don’t marry them and procreate,” leading Florida International University Turning Point USA chapter president Ian Valdes to reply that he “would def not marry a Jew.”
Another user, William Bejerano, sent a long list of violent acts he encouraged against Black people. The n-word-packed message included acts like crucifixion, dissection, and beheading. The chat also went through several rounds of renaming, including “Uber R****d Yapping,” and “Gooning in Agartha,” a reference to Nazi esoterica associated with SS head Heinrich Himmler.
But we’re totally not Nazis.
It’s not too surprising given the history between those nations and ethnic groups.
Which I would go on to learn rather quickly. World History in primary and secondary schools ignored Asia completely, minus some shit about ancient Chinese dynasties and early developments in the Indus Valley. From there, it was radio silence to WWII, when the Japanese appear.
Absent context, it was weird to me that people of any of the three nationalities would hang out with Whites ahead of being forced to deal with their own neighbouring ethnicities.
