I hate to say this, but Latin people as a group do not respect laws and rules. Not all of them, of course. And many redneck whites also do not respect rules. The ones who do not are low class people. But unfortunately, in Latin culture it is also a bit of a habit to ignore the property rights of others. They’ll use your driveway basketball net when you’re not there (or sometimes even when you are there!)...and then get offended when you explain that your driveway is not a community center. Again, some Caucasians do this as well, but it seems to be ingrained in the culture of Latin people. There is no ill intent in it, just different values.

I know what you mean. And I’d elaborate to say that it isn’t race or ethnicity, but culture. As you say, any group of people from a low class background can behave this way.

I’m always impressed by most of the black immigrants from some African countries. I became friends with one such family who owned and operated a restaurant near my neighborhood. They were NOTHING like most blacks who are born and grow up here, with a chip on their shoulders.

We have just the opposite in our neighborhood in a blue county. All the adult people of color are respectful of others' property, but the entitled Eurowhite college-educated adults (and all the teenagers of every color) are the frequent trespassers on others' property, whether walking, biking or making their dogs poop or pee on others' lawns or expensive shrubbery. Go figure.
