I speak spanish and portugese and was married once a long time ago to a Brasilian hellcat.

I think most latinos including even younger Cubans whose parents and grandparents woulda never thought like that have been brainwashed in the west and here of course into this mindset that the dominant higher percentage caucasian imperialists types like most Americans and richer latinos in their view are the fault of basically everything

to them it explains why a a mulatto Puerto Rican or Dominican might not be acccepted at the country club or as a son in law

or it explains why Indian peasants in all of latin America are still mostly peasants (or narcos) and still really short

and so on

the entire second and third worlds buys this notion that white western civilization destroyed all and it alleviates them of any responsibility and sets their place in line for our money and excuses their violence and poor behavior as a culture

it’s that simple...latinos vote Democrat to vote anti white in my opinion even if they are themselves partially or mostly DNA Caucazoid and Euro descended..it’s the “cut”...the dilution that in their mind qualifies them as a minority...hell Obama does this too

white trash wishes it had such ready made excuses and forgiveness

Class-race warfare is very appealing to those down on their luck who are targeted for the message like minorities. Dems know this.

But there is a ugly reality that Republicans don't want to face. If the last Republican POTUS left office with a booming economy and the country at peace there would have been a much, much, bigger chance that many Hispanics would split from Dems and socialism and vote Republican. That would be REAL the way to sell economic conservatism or economic libertarianism, by example NOT words.,

But leaving office with the economy in complete shambles, and I am not saying it is all GWB fault, made sure that minorities would see socialism as appealing for a long time.

That sounds like the way a lot of people in SE Louisiana think and they all are not ‘people of color’ by a long shot.

Somewhat different than those who came from Italy and Ireland in the late 1800s and early 1900s. But not all that much different.

The “mionrity” label isn’t what it used to be...now it’s an emblem of pride, more freebies, less working for things, a crutch. Where’s the pride in earning one’s way? It’s not being taught to our kids, generally speaking, and specifically speaking they are seeing just what earning one’s way is all about...paying for those who don’t.

I wonder sometimes why I’m raising my kids the way I am, the way my parents raised us, when it’s becoming increasingly clear that far less (percentage wise) are doing the same and we and my kids are going to be footing the bill. I don’t know the answer/solution. All I know is that victim status, freeloader mindset, is not acceptable. Self respect matters.

Exactly.
