There's a lot of times people from a distant group of people, a group of people from another continent for example, think of all people from another continent as being the same because they look similar. For example treating all white people like they are British colonists or Nazis is as ignorant as treating all black people as Muslims, or treating all Asians as Chinese. In some African countries there are hundreds of ethnic groups, too many to count, so thinking that two people would be allies because their skin is darker is a lot like thinking that everyone with fair skin are allies because they both have fair skin in life, instead of going on an individual basis (since most people don't have time to process all this stuff on an individual basis on a daily basis).
Thinking that a group of people looking alike, or similar, means that they are alike or the same is ignorant. Not all groups of Europeans colonized foreign lands and owned/whipped slaves, for example, so calling someone a cracker because they have fair skin is ignorant. When was the last time you met a Russian family that owned black slaves hundreds of years ago. It's a lot like saying that all black people/Africans descended from slaves, or all Asians eat/like Chinese food and are kung fu masters, which is ignorant and irritating at the same time.

Hym "Nope. Nope. Ignore the cripple. Do the Big Beautiful Bill. Make him pay for the AI. He tried to get your kids killed by stealing it. He tried to get you all killed by violating the terms of service. He's not an American. The Big Beautiful Bill is justice and so is making Elon pay me money for the AI. I was the one who did it an Elon is not."
