I can totally see how "go home" would be a dog whistle, just don't know if it is one.

Organizers from the anti-immigration group We the People Rising shouted, “Nobody wants you. You’re not welcome. Go home.”


Very common for them to yell that at Latino people.

"Harrah's casino site- Bernie supporters chant "English-only" to stop civil rights leader @DoloresHuerta from providing Spanish translation."

"A number of people have disputed Huerta’s story. A video of the event (starting around the 54-minute mark) shows the moderator asking if anyone speaks Spanish. When Huerta stands up, it’s difficult to make out what everyone is saying, other than “No, no.” The man asks the audience to stop shouting and says other Spanish speakers can point out if Huerta said anything pro-Clinton, but yelling continues, including “absolutely not.”

“We’re going forward in English only,” the man says, adding that people should translate to those sitting around them if needed.

One Latino outside an HRC LA event tells protestors to go home.

Another pro-Sanders Latino protestor says Fuck you white washed to the other Latino.

This is no different than Clinton AA's supporters talking shit about West, Jones, or Killer Mike and pro-Sander's AA's supporters yelling back at it.

Yeah, I don't see anything to get upset about here.

But that nice little spin in your title was precious for its attempts to promote an unreality that never was.
