    I am the token white guy where I work and none of my coworkers want to talk about it. They don’t want to protest. They think they are gonna be left alone. They are just one ICE encounter away from finding out but until then they will not step outside their bubble.

      Why would they? It’s an additional hazard. They know exactly where the line is for being the slow gazelle that gets killed. It’s in their bones. You’re just new to the game and haven’t internalized how fucked how quickly things will get for you if you step out of line.
