What makes this so depressing is that it’s not stupidity that makes people question if Descheenie is here “illegally,” it’s their racism. And despite how easy it would be to say “yeah but they’re mistakenly thinking he’s Latino so they’re stupid,” I don’t think that’s what’s happening in all cases. I think there’s a good portion that know he’s Native American, but deliberately pretend he’s Latino so they can pretend he’s here “illegally” and insist he should be deported.
Which in turn would reveal the false concern over “illegal” immigration for what it is: an excuse to attack and disenfranchise people for not being white.
This is a good final moment for Lorna on the book. Much better than what I thought was her final moment, the Havok-focused one from months ago.
If things had gone better for her use on Blue, this would have been a good lead-in to Lorna leading a new school and team. Take a bit of her experience with Genosha, and her mix of Xavier and Magneto philosophies, and you have something good to work with. Danger would’ve been a good member of a team led by Lorna.
