History is filled with people who were promised that we would pretend they were white if they just sold out everyone they cared about. Hasn’t actually paid off yet.
Depends where you’re at, my family doesn’t like the eye-towel-yans for some bizarre reason I’ve never been able to find out, but I guess that would be expecting racism to make sense.
They are idiots. My family is full of Latinos who pull the ladder from behind. They also think they could be on the same level as white people. Nope.

The Irish might be an exception there. See How the Irish became White by Noel Ignatiev.
And Italians!
People forget it was only like a century ago when Irish and Italians weren’t white enough for the wasps.
Not even that long ago. In Rocky, Stallone gets called slurs

They still remind us!
If the current fascist project has enough legs I guarantee you they will get around to reversing that.
It’ll end as a circular firing squad of jawless, haggard, pasty-white men.
The exception to this is when the definition of whiteness had to be expanded to maintain a white majority.
At the end of the day, those sorts of things always let you know who you can’t trust.

similar, my family is all MAGA, they don’t even live in America, they aren’t Americans, but absolutely adore MAGA.
Due to abusive ex, I live in the states fighting for my life to get a greencard so I don’t lose my daughters. My family is still MAGA.
…Why are they MAGA if that’s not even relevant to them?
Not a criticism or anything, but I find that fascinating, is all.
