Some mental gymnastics here for people to claim he was talking about immigration and not race. The last time there was a wave of white European immigrants was what during world war 1 and 2? The fact of the matter is immigration since 1970 has been overwhelmingly visible minorities.

Do you think he's referring to white immigrants when he says you people? It's funny that people who are hiding behind immigration and not race argument seems to think racism is can only be in the form of "I hate x people". As if people need to explicitly say they don't like a certain people to be racist.

I like Cherry for the most part. I don't know if he is racist. However, what he said was definitely racist.
