All of the colors are washed out and slightly grey-toned, because the color palette is based on poor-quality color photo film from the 30's and 40's. It didn't really look like that. 53911
Reposted by Brok'n but still teach'nAlex Wellerstein @wellerstein.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's just gutter racism. And of course the attacks on other immigrant groups — Somalis, Haitians, you name it — are not any less so. But perhaps it is because they are going after this "model" group, one that contributes SO much to the USA, that makes the racism intent just so exceptionally overt. 0383
