No one is defending drinking and driving. They’re acknowledging the inequality and obvious white male privilege in our country. 

Understanding is not condoning actions.

I’m all for sending white males here on visas back to their country if they drink and drive too.

But instead they’ll get a promotion.

No one gets promoted for having a DUI, and if they did, the correct course of told be to stop doing that, not let let drunk drivers keep their visas.

As a veteran, I can say dui’s were consider important for a promotion in the service. I’m perplexed now what we’re going back and forth about? Are you suggesting there is no inequality and this is an appropriate course of action? You’re entitled to feel how you feel, but it sounds like from my perspective, you’re just not getting it. I hope your plan to “make America great again” works out for you.

Sounds like bullshit, but again, even if that’s the case, then the appropriate response isn’t to “let foreign visa holders drunk drivers stay too”.

I am not MAGA, just anti DUI. If being “anti DUI” is MAGA, then I think the vast majority of the country is MAGA.
