His ranch is on the MX/TX border and he owns domains (to resell) such as roaches.com, illegal.com, molest.com, etc. Take with those what you will of the sort of person he is. That's just the few I remember otoh. He has hundreds.
Yeah, we've got a guy with essentially a right wing militia fortress on the border of TX who owns blatantly illegal-immigrant racist trope domains and it's not related at all. Some engineer who commonly talks infrastructure is just making all of this up because he's bored on HN this weekend. Who wouldn't squat on such gems as "molest.com" to keep them from being used?
Well, it is the internet after all.
To me it just looks like parent is cherry-picking some domains to try and put words in their mouth.
If the person owns roaches.com out of hundreds of domains then you're going to try to make it racist so the owner looks racist?
I never understood why trying to make innocent things racist isn't considered racist itself.

I first heard that joke in a 1990’s standup routine, fwiw. It could have been the same person telling the joke, I guess.
Anyway, it used to actually be used by white american racists; it’s been weakened to just self deprecating humor, kind of like jewish comedians like to tell jew jokes.
