My (uninformed) assumption is because the lady posted it to social media and bragged about it and other people contacted the police station which triggered an investigation to look into whether there was any illegal activity there.
I'm guessing it has to do with the selfie itself. The cops in my area are restricted from posing in pics that will make it to social media without permission from their PR monster.
They mean in raw possible numbers. White people in general are declining in the US (very slowly tho), but there's a long history of different groups being granted "Whiteness" throughout history. Most recently Irish and Italians, who were originally not counted as true White.
Ah I think they were implying the latter, but you're right that actual support across races has only gone up in the modern age.
I live in a very red area in Northern California, the Republican support from poc is massive. I remember in 2020 there was one of those parade things with idiots in their trucks with giant trump flags on them where they just drive in circles honking here. But it was a Filipino Republican focused one. Was shocking to see.
That's so weird. But what's also weird is a race checkbox? Is that... normal/common?
Makes me ashamed as a Fil-Can. I'm ashamed of my parents too who are anti-Bong Bong/Duterte but very much Trumpers. Stupid cult church they go to and Fox news brainwashed them.
Yeah even down to the, "Liberals think this is how it works" attitude and then it is unironically working that way while they laugh and wink at each other, except that while they both laugh at Liberals, some of that laughing is not with the PoC but at them, because that is exactly how white supremacy works.
If it's not common on the tickets themselves it's definitely logged by the cops on their own information.
