Good post. Let’s look at it from a different perspective.
For example.

50% of Mexican heritage in Chicagoland are PAN, the party of traditional Catholics and small businessmen ... and a rare libertarian.

40% of Mexican heritage in Chicagoland are PRI, the party of corruption where big government is required to spread the corruption to so many.

8% are PRD and those are split between liberation theology Catholics and aetheists, although it is impossible to tell which is which.

2% are none of the above.

The same with those from India. Half are the party of Mordi, seeking to move towards less corruption and more capitalism. Half just want to know where to pay the bribe to keep the health inspector off their back at the quickie mart.

The same with Puerto Ricans. 49% are Republicans for statehood (albeit many are RINOS). 49% are Democrats for colonialism. 2% are for indpendence of which half are alligned with the FALN and half with the PSP.

A group can be sliced and diced many different ways.

That is very, very interesting-thanks for the info. I do not remember ever having a liberal/democrat relative-I’m of Latino ancestry, from rural SW Texas.

The very few democrats around here are all non-Latino Caucasians-they are so few that this county has no organized democrat party-no democrats ever run for office in this county any more-last time was about 8 years ago.

The rest of the Caucasian population-which is pretty evenly divided between Latino and non-Latino-are staunch conservatives, Republican voting but rather more libertarian in thinking than some places, and everyone is armed-only liberal households do not have firearms, which is extremely foolish in a remote area-dialing 911 will get you help in 30-45 minutes if you are lucky-you are on your own till then.

Most of our ancestors came to Texas from Mexico in or before the early 19th century, so that is too long ago to know what party in Mexico they might have embraced, but I can make a good guess...

There are a few Indian/Pakistani and Black families here-also conservative and not unarmed.
