One man's tattoo, made to stand for an entire Bronx neighborhood.

SeverityHatefulTreats a group as lesser, dangerous, or not fully human, whether it says so about the group or about one person for belonging to it. Everything at this level.

What was said

ACT for America posted footage of one man with a Hamas tattoo in the Bronx neighborhood known as Little Yemen, saying “we're paying for him” on welfare and describing the neighborhood by his presence in it.

Why it counts

One person's tattoo and claimed sympathies become the description of an entire named neighborhood, a synecdoche that makes everyone living there answer for one man.

The welfare claim is asserted with nothing shown for it. The tattoo carries the whole argument.

The receipts

Every quote, checked against its source.

ACT for America (Brigitte Gabriel)

"This is what a citizen journalist just exposed in the Bronx. A neighborhood called Little Yemen. A man with a Hamas tattoo who says he "loves Hamas" and wants them running America. On welfare. Hamas has murdered Americans. We're paying for him. An imam mocks Christianity, then"
