"yeah no, pretty sure that just means go back to where you came from and apply your policies there. That invite to come back is a lose at best"
Hate to break it to you, but that is textbook "seeing what you WANT to see".
And yeah, there's nothing wrong with talking about your heritage. It's one thing to have your heritage as part of your identity, it's another thing entirely to /use/ your heritage in identity politics, as a means to get ahead, to be "the first something-or-other", and shut down your opponents.
Take Hillary for example. She ran almost entirely on the idea of being "the first female president", and on what a misogynistic male Trump is, even though he hadn't actually said or done anything particularly sexist, let alone misogynistic. One locker-room comment that any man could easily have made does not make him the epitome of "hatred of women". Now if Hillary had just tried to campaign on policy instead of identity politics, she probably would have won.
Then again, maybe not. Her policy plans would have had the US in actual war with Russia by now.
