Haley and Tim Scott are only some of current examples of a sad legacy of non-Whites self-abasing themselves to present as quasi-White. Your phrase, "a White Conservative Christian Cisgender Heterosexual," encapsulates what it takes to be a "true" Republican in most Republicans eyes. The world will never completely understand why non-Whites have fealty to a party and movement that diminishes them at best, or holds them in gleeful contempt at worse. But one thing we do know; these people are lickspittles for the ages.
"Lickspittles for the ages"...indeed. I will never understand the motivation or the desire to self-abase oneself in that manner...especially in someone who's experienced racism. Of course, I'm White...so what the Hell do I know? Still, no matter how much I try to wrap my pointy l'il head 'round it, none of it makes sense.

And my being Black doesn't provide me with significantly more insight either, these people are perplexing auto humiliators.
My Dad used to tell me that some people were probably "beaten with a stupid stick." I suppose these folks would have some serious bruises.
