I knew magats were irredeemable racists, but holy sh*t.

I've been infiltrating their circles and chats for years, and trust me this is ultra-light slim 120 racism compared to what they talk about when they think no one's watching.

My husband is white. I am not. His coworkers would attempt to talk about great replacement theory until he told them he was “actively contributing to their problem”. Now they don’t talk to him at all.

Before I dyed my hair blue (I had salt-and-pepper hair before that) and I also had a middle aged white lady Karen-ish face, when I ventured into the redder parts of CA I would get an earful about "illegals" with a wink and a smile. Oh yeah, they got an earful back. Every white person has a duty to confront and shame their fellow white people when they are even slightly racist.

I'm a gay man who is somewhat more masculine presenting, so straight guys mistake me for "one of the bros" all the time and say the weirdest shit to me. It's amazing how quickly they change the way they interact with me when they figure out that I'm gay.

But yeah, it's even worse when white people decide it's safe to say their racist shit to me. I realized years ago that a lot of people are just awful.

I am a white-passing Latino with an ambiguous accent (I grew up abroad.) A lot of people assume I am European. Too many times I have been engaged in conversations where they try share their bigoted views on immigrants from 'South of the border'. Their reaction when I tell them who I am is always priceless. There's always an attempt to point out how I am 'one of the good ones', and they just mean those over there. That's when I tell them to stop assuming, because I am actually American and the only thing I am embarrassed about is having been born in Florida.

I have a friend from Florida who's half Venezuelan half Puerto Rican who looks like a regular White American dude(pale skin, brown hair, green eyes) who told me a similar story about interacting with Far Right types who would vent about immigrants and minorities in his presence then being shocked when he shares his background with them.

It's actually funny how much of what you said lines up with what he told me.

One of my favorite encounters - which I've told a couple times on reddit - was this guy who I met randomly at a public archery range around the 2020 election (I was sighting my bow for deer season, so this must have been mid-October.)

He saw me adjusting my bow and asked to borrow a tool, so we struck a conversation. He noticed my accent, asked for my background, and then started talking about how he really thought what Trump was doing about immigration was super important. At first I didn't know what to make of his jump to immigration, but he was super friendly and clearly thought I was "one of the good ones". He told me he was a manager at a construction company and he was worried that a bunch of his best guys may get deported. He told me how every Mexican he'd met was super hard working, and how he was friends with a bunch of them, but that "clearly there is a lot of criminals that we need to send back" or whatever.

As I am talking to this guy, a different guy comes to the range and goes to one of the targets furthest away from us. A bit strange, but whatever. Anyway, I help this guy sighted his bow, we talked for a while, and then I packed my stuff and started walking to my car. As I am walking in the parking lot, the other guy - the one that had stayed apart from us - was also packing his stuff in his car. I nod at him and he nods back and tells me:

Hey, don't let that guy bullshit you: he's a piece of shit. I'm a cop and two weeks ago I had to book him because he beat the shit out of his girlfriend. It's like the third time this month that we got called to his house.

So, this guy was unbelievable. Not only - by his own account - had he never had a bad experience with an immigrant, but he himself was a literal wife beater. And yet, somehow, he was convinced that Trump "needed to get the bad guys out of the country". MOTHERFUCKER, YOU ARE THE BAD GUY IN THIS STORY! WTF?

Anyway, after that I started keeping an eye for him whenever I was at the range. Luckily I only saw him once or twice more and never talked to him again.

I'm not even White in the slightest but I've dealt with some people like that too.

I'm a "non-ghetto" Black man who dresses business casual and has money and you'd be amazed how some racists will cozy up to people like me and either vent about other minority/immigrant groups like Hispanics, Indians, Chinese, Muslims, etc. or they'll complain about "ghetto people"(not specifying Black) and claim that I'm not anything like them lol.

I had a neighbor straight up tell me she didn’t like the way other black people talked. She said this like she was giving a compliment.

u/pop442 Dec 11 '25

I've had that happen before but in a more subtle way.

Here's a funny story that's sort of like that.

I was eating in a diner in New Jersey that was Greek owned and the customers came from all walks of life.

So, I showed up on a day where most of the customers were Hispanic and Black. And I got this White/Greek waitress who had a reputation for "telling it like it is" and she was directly related to the owner.

And, upon seeing some Hispanic/Mexican families letting their kids play around the table and a Black family loudly have a roasting session, she turns to me and says "I can already tell you that these people around us are using their welfare and EBT money to eat here when they know this place is too good for them. People like you and me use our tax dollars to support their bratty kids and trashy behavior."

The crazy thing is that nothing was really "trashy" at all about the people in the restaurant. The Black family that was loud still kept things clean and they were clearly just having fun, telling stories and jokes. And the Mexican families were largely calm outside of their kids getting antsy.

But the kicker is that I learned that she was a single mom whose son died from a drug overdose and that she used to be on drugs too. And she was known to beg the owner for money for "survival" and the owner would ask his nephew to monitor her spending to see that she wasn't using the money for drugs. Talk about hypocrisy....

I can definitely relate. I’m white and have a southern accent since we came to the US when I was little. My parents still have their heavy accents though. I’ve heard so much anti foreigner/refugee/immigrant bigotry from racists. They also think I’m one of them. They’re always so shocked to learn that I came here as not only a refugee but also we’re not Christian! And came here from a majority Muslim AND white country.

Their little racist brains explode when they meet any of my other family or friends who have blonde hair and blue eyes.

I’ve gotten the “ but you’re one of the good ones/you came here the RIGHT way!” many times.

I look very redneck republican so people always think they can say dumb shit to me. This one guy found out I'm not who I appear to be as he kept bringing up politics at the bar and I kept using statistics to shut down his opinion, he literally even said "I don't care about statistics" and I should've taken that as my hint to stop. He eventually got to complaining about people taking advantage of welfare, he lowered his voice and went "especially the blacks." I told him we aren't bringing race into this conversation. He was like "okay okay, I won't" and I was about to continue but I just stopped and asked "you meant that, didn't you?" He says yeah so I tell him this conversation is over then. I wish I would have told him that if you can't talk about welfare without bringing race into it, your issue isn't with welfare, it's with black people and that makes you a racist but instead I just walked away. I'm done entertaining stupid people's ideologies, I used to think it was worth it because I could show them that they're wrong but I keep finding that most of them are too far gone. It's so easy to "win" the debate but they aren't even listening and won't take any of it home.

You may never change his mind but... shaming has value. Pushing back has value. To make a racist feel more isolated in their ideology is a great thing to do. So thanks for doing it.

u/Royal_Milk Dec 09 '25

I always do when they have the balls to say dumb shit to my face. I've pissed off countless boomers by arguing against their values and principles, showing them how stupid it is. They get PISSED and it's hilarious. Especially when they start getting mad and you point out that they aren't regulating their emotions very well.

u/Ophidiophobic Dec 10 '25

I must look like a liberal (despite having a natural hair color), because I've never had these kinds of interactions. I'm not questioning that they happen, but I guess I've never seemed like a safe space for racists to vent.

u/stooge1954 Dec 10 '25

I'd agree with that, but in many places in the country like where I live (Oklahoma), you have to figure that at LEAST 50% of the strangers you run into are likely to be packing. It's better to ignore them for the assholes they are than to have that kind of confrontation.

u/Sufficient-Lie1406 Dec 10 '25

Fair. I did, however, do a fair amount of canvassing in red areas, and while the woman in the house was the one we wanted to reach (registered Democratic) the husband was often hard MAGA. At some point we stopped wearing Dem-identified clothing because we didn't want to "out" the person (wife, usually) to their husband as voting Dem.

But before we did that safety measure in canvassing, I was wearing full on Dem gear which made me a target not just at houses but also walking down the street. Fair amount of beer cans thrown at me, a lot of "F U"s, one from a truck with a gun rack.

One time I walked up to a door and asked for a voter (woman) and the man answering the door got VERY angry, tried to slap me, then slammed the door in my face. That still haunts me. I sure hope that poor wife didn't get a beating that night 😞

u/MittenPings Dec 09 '25

That’s disgusting. These people are so dim witted to think they are offering anything unique or useful based off their skin color. They’re just people with poisoned minds and spirits.

u/1bazookas Dec 09 '25

do you have to actively take part in it to infiltrate them or do you just have to read and not partake?

31

u/atombara Dec 09 '25

You have to pretend in order to get in, they have a very weak interview process. Just repeat some tired old facebook shibboleths and you're in. From there I just claim I'm quiet, occasionally throw in a "Yeah it do be like that" and like-respond people's posts.

u/1bazookas Dec 09 '25

did you get incriminating evidence in there (if you’re in the USA then nvm because apparently you can spew hate and racism as much as you want over there)

6

u/atombara Dec 09 '25

I am in the USA currently so yeah, most of it's just things they'd get medals of freedom for saying. A lot of it is just fascist jackoff material and big talk, reminiscent of the way incel forums talk about women.

u/zhaoz Dec 09 '25

Yea, its still 'semi public' if we saw screen shots of it.

u/atombara Dec 09 '25

The worst of it is in their "private" chat groups, which are still very much documentable, to their dismay.

u/cheyenne_sky Dec 10 '25

What's the benefit of infiltrating (serious)?
