You're gonna see at least one viral "Karen" video of some hapless cashier trying to demand papers and that will be the end of anyone asking for proof from POC.
In modern America, rules only apply to whites. Everyone else will be exempted from vax mandates

The biggest gap between Twitter and real life is the American Catholic experience
Catholic Twitter: "Young Catholics demand the Latin Mass and a firm commitment to the traditional catechism"
IRL:
Only saying this because I see way too many people base their assumptions on American Catholics on what they see on Twitter. Interacting with ordinary Catholics IRL is a very different experience
This is just ethnic cope. Ellis Islanders played a much greater role in turning America into an egalitarian “idea” than the old stock. 19th century America was not a liberal commune
Fitzhugh thought the Southern elites were "Normans," which they weren't. Fitzhugh also didn't represent mainstream antebellum opinion. Ulster Scots primarily came from the Scottish-English borderland and are considered old stock. They're not ethnics
Interesting fact: Northern Virginia's congressman in the 1950s and 60s was the leading House opponent against civil rights, Howard W. Smith. He was succeeded by a Republican. His old district is now the bluest in Virginia
Smith represented the southern half of Northern Virginia in the 60s. The northern half was represented by a conservative Republican, Joel Broyhill, who also opposed integration. Smith's district, the 8th, has been a Dem stronghold since 1990. Broyhill's turned blue in 2018.
The other Northern Virginia district--the 11th, recreated in 1992--was actually pretty Republican up until the last decade. GOP lost in the 2008 blue wave, and then nearly won it back in 2010. Now Dems win it by 40 points every year
