We spoke to Nicholas J. Fuentes, BU’s Trump supporter everyone is talking about
‘I’m not a white supremacist’

On Twitter you’ve all but said you are Hispanic, so how can you still defend Trump after his comments about Hispanic people, like calling Hispanics (specifically Mexicans) rapists and criminals, and with his views on immigration?

25 percent Mexican. I see no contradiction, and this is because I was raised by my parents as an American first, and everything else second. That’s number one. When I see these protestors flying the Mexican flag, and speaking Spanish and cussing out Trump in Spanish, I think to myself, my ancestors left Mexico to become Americans, not to bring Mexico to America, and to make America more like Mexico. Obviously they left Mexico for a reason. So I’ve always seen that as being totally not incompatible with being Hispanic.
It is pretty much the party for whites only. n/t Julian Englis Aug 2017 #1
