I hear gnashing teeth at the DNC.

"Dammit, if we can't make them understand that they're victims they're going to think they don't need us. Quick, let's find a hate crime somewhere against a Hispanic and put our media guys on it."

May they be preserved from any victim (and, therefore, entitlement) mentality. May they raise up leaders among them who will not pander, but show the way. May they denounce denegrating stereotypes in the popular culture. May they remember their heritage rooted in family, faith, and diligence in all labor. These will serve them well.

Why should they feel discriminated against?
They get a free twenty point head start on everything, private tutoring, and free education in their own language.

Should make them feel welcome.

*16% said that nothing in the United States is worse than in their nation of origin.*

"The other 84% of respondents come from countries with DNP, ACLU, NAACP, and GLSEN chapters."

Other respondents hailed from Spain (4%)

Spain is in South America? I wonder why South Americans are called "Hispanic" or "Latin". They are mostly Native American with some Spanish. Now that they've lived in North America "Hispanic" includes mixtures of white, asian, black. They are melting agents in America's melting pot. In a few generations we will all have to be called Americans.

Only 2% of Hispanic respondents said that racism/prejudice is worse in the United States than in their nation of origin.

Those must be the ones who went to college and graduated with a degree in Latino studies or sociology or Marxist economics or somesuch. Or at least is related to somebody who has been indoctrinated in some way.
