JK Rowling brilliantly mocks Trump for saying Hispanic border patrol officer 'speaks perfect English



Earlier in the day the president held an event at the White House honoring Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers. In addition to calling CBP officers “CBC” officers, he made an offensively racist remark about one of the agents he was supposedly trying to honor.
Trump introduced Adrian Anzaldua as just “Adrian.” Anzaldua was being honored for discovering 78 undocumented immigrants in a Texas trailer. After calling him up to the platform, Trump reassured attendees that the officer, who reportedly is Hispanic, “speaks perfect English,” apparently because of his last name, or perhaps because he is not white.

Seems to portray a “Why do I have to be nice to a Brown person? Am I done yet?” attitude.

I speak Spanish. Maybe he'll want to deport me.

Tell ya what, Donald. I'll save you the trouble. I'm off back to Germany before you could even get a court order. Besides, with my Catalan-accented Spanish, no Latino in this hemisphere would ever think I was one of them, anyway.

dipshit may try to deport you. Papers please!

It's about race. It's always been about race. Back in the day the Anglos didn't want Saxons coming to America, and then they both didn't want Southern or Eastern Europeans or Jewish immigrants to ruin America.

"Hey, folks, *I* was surprised this guy could speak English, so I thought you would be, too! I was so excited I couldn't wait to tell you that the Mexicans are starting to learn English, starting with Mr. Aaaluuh... Mr. Adrian, here! "
