OP said "band" not "brand"
I love these "millenial" memes because you can always tell about how old the meme maker is.
There are millenials that are in their mid 40s, and there are zoomers that are almost 30. Assuming they were just going for a round number, the creator could have said 50, 45 or 40. But no, they chose 35, presumably because they are around 35.
To the people saying it's a skin color/race issue: yes, but also no. The people who put the authoritarians in power did so for reasons of deeply ingrained racism, and the power hungry narcissists gleefully abused their supporters' easily manipulated fear of PoC to amass more power, but...
Just like every other clique, cult and fascist regime, it's really just about creating an in-group and an out-group. The important thing is that to the brainwashed in-group, the group's membership seems immutable, but to everyone else (including the cult's leaders) it's clear that membership is entirely contingent on favor. That's why ICE has been given the power to deport anyone and everyone, but is not doing so: it's about maintaining control.
Which is all to say that the deportations don't end with eugenics. Even if the nazis remove every last person who fails the skin color check—or is just too recently descended from "non-whites" (the moving goalpost)—the deportations will continue. Just make yourself an enemy of the regime and they'll figure out a way to brand you "an illegal" regardless of skin color or race or ethnicity or heritage; their supporters will bend over backwards to believe the lies, and their opposition will stage peaceful protests and wring their hands about "law" and "constitution" to no avail.
Technically a real band because of the movie
