For the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) supporters, who tell us that they are “dreamers”, and “love this country”, and “are productive members of society”, etc.:
How do you dare to speak for hundreds of thousands of people, as if you met them all and could vouch for their character?
If someone put up negative comments about the children (mostly young adults, actually) in question, how fast would you be to accuse them of anti-Latino bias? Yet you are just as willing as they are to generalize about them.
Stereotyping people in positive terms doesn’t mean you are not prejudiced. It means you are prejudiced – every bit as much as people who say negative things about the same people.
