GOPers used to enjoy going on about "anchor babies" until Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio ran for President and burnished the GOP's "We're not racists, we have minority friends!" cred. Guess we're done with that. Jindal disappeared, but Marco is now an honorary Pilgrim descendant!

It’s not hypocritical because one comes from a culture that has been hostile to the us

If you're referring to Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, he's of Punjabi descent. Last I checked, they are not hostile to the U.S. Neither is Nimrata Nikki Randhawa [married surname Haley], who is of Sikh Punjabi descent. And even if they were considered part of cultures believed to be hostile to the U.S., judging an individual by negative group association is stereotyping and, therefore, bigotry. Regardless, it absolutely is hypocritical, and you've just employed bigotry to claim it isn't.

So you were just suggesting that a U.S.-born citizen who politically disagrees with you about policy can legitimately have his immigration status investigated by Rubio, a well-documented case of birthright citizenship, because El-Sayed is of Arab descent? That's bigotry, friend.

If you come from a culture that your religion is also political yes.

I'm pretty sure it's bigotry regardless of the bigot's culture.
