And maybe he is of Spanish (Spain) background? It seem clear that your prejudices lead your thinking and not any understanding of how people self-identify. Given the racism in this country it is quite common for many people from the South to identify as white and that also goes for darker people from southern European countries. Not all Europeans are Nordic.

The point I am seeing here is that this man is being used to push a certain agenda by the deep state DHS, and he clearly is not a "white supremacist". He may be any number of other ethnicities, perhaps Mayorkas is refusing to tell us. I think he was most likely known to the FBI, and this was a staged event. Regardless, they are lying.

All that can be said at the moment is that he attempted to drive a vehicle into the White House. Until more is revealed, it seems the sane thing is to not make judgements based on assumptions. It is typical that such assumptions and judgements reveal more about the person making the statements than the reality of the case. I have no idea why you assume he was known to the FBI and this was a staged event.

He's a "person of color" no matter how he "self-identifies." We can see him with our own eyes. Apparently Majorkas is either blind or a liar.

Why are you so angry. For many years people of such coloring were defined by the government as white/caucasian. It was a political struggle for people to self-identify which is now legal on the Census and in schools. Of course if you are of the white supremacist mindset and still hold that anyone with 1/8 Black history is Black in your book and therefore subject to the worse of racism in this country--well, I have nothing to say to you other than that we will disagree.
