Donald Trump’s latest comments about allowing hundreds of thousands of Chinese international students into the United States have drawn criticism from some of the most outspoken members of the Republican Party.

Ahead of his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the White House on Monday, Trump told reporters that he plans to allow 600,000 Chinese students into the country — a figure more than double the number in the United States now.

It’s a sharp departure from an announcement Secretary of State Marco Rubio made in May, when he promised the United States would “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students and add more scrutiny to all future visa applications from China.

Lol conservatives circle racist logic. White people are genetically superior, but are also oppressed. White people are the smartest, but Asians are the best at math and computers. White people are the strongest, but black people just are naturally gifted at sports. White people are the reason we have great things like the engine, but Jews control everything. White people are just harder workers, but Hispanic people need to be the ones doing the hard jobs. Make it make sense Republicans.

That's just fascism. The enemy is strong and weak at the same time, depending on what the fascists need at that moment.

I honestly would respect them more if they just said it out loud. It's like dealing with a five year old when you catch them in a lie but they just refuse to admit it. Grow a pair and stand ten toes down on your beliefs. But they won't. Cowards.

"stand ten toes down on your beliefs"

That's an interesting idiom(?). Never heard that one before.

I'll have you know I'm a black person who is terrible at sports thank you.

Just met a 6ft 8 in black college student. Never played basketball in high school or college. Never was interested. I told him he left a herd of crying coaches in his wake.

Make it make sense Republicans.

I’ve heard some tall orders in my day, but this is akin to taking a deep breath, walking out to the sun, and moving it around with your bare hands.

"conservatives" are capitalist handlers that use whichever line brings them the most money at the time. As long as they have good doggies who lap up what they are fed and lie down when told they can target and support Hispanics while profiting off cheap and powerless labor.

I would preface that with "conservative elites" are the ones focused on money alone. Most conservatives make choices against their own welfare in exchange for fear and rage. They get to be the "winner" in some ideological game and that's enough for them.

And white people are mixed. They have minority DNA..
