A common misconnection that exists today rests on the notion that there are no racial hierarchies in Latin American countries or within the Latino communities in the United States. (SNIP)
The shooting of unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin by a half-Peruvian and half-White man named George Zimmerman, the rise of so-called Hispanic conservatives like Ted Cruz, Al Cardenas and Marco Rubio, and the examples of racist comments by Latinos in the media like Rodner Figueroa, have made it impossible to have a conversation of Latinos and race.

This Saturday, the Miss Puerto Rico winner for the Miss America pageant was suspended for anti-Muslim tweets.
Last night, the African-American actor Steve Harvey was attacked on Twitter from racist White Latinos (and other Latinos as well and Anglo-whites) who wanted Miss Colombia to win the Miss Universe contest. These profile used abhorrent language, as the tweets below show. All this hatred came as a result of Harvey mistakenly naming Miss Colombia the winner instead of Miss Philippines, the real winner.
It’s time for a serious effort to treat people as individuals rather than as checkboxes on a federal race/ethnicity form.
Get real! Can’t get no money or power dat way!/sarc
Why do they not see that screeds like this are EXACTLY like stuff written by the Klan or the Nazis.
Websearch “mexican caste”. Or any other south am county + caste. Mainly it is how removed one is from being Spanish-born. There are specific words for each case. It is often labeled on ones birth certificate. In lieu of known genetics, light-boned latinos definitely have a prejudice against their own heavy-boned brothers.
But as this informative as this article is ;^ ) the author makes sure that everyone knows it aint racist unless it has White in front of it.
Anybody who believes that to be true knows nothing about Mexico.
The higher the Spanish blood, the lighter the color, the higher the education and income.
The higher the Indian blood, the darker, the poorer.
If you are Indian and Christian (non-Catholic) the treatment is worse.
I don't EVEN wanna know.
Fascinated. Define mierda?
Racial diversity does NOT make for anything superior or inferior.
If that were so then Japan would have NO diversity since everyone is Japanese.
The Swedes would have NO diversity since everyone is Swedish.
And so on. The same would be true of every ethnicity.
The only place that it applies is with dogs. The mongrel, super mixed bag of breeds, is OFTEN the sharpest dog on the block.
It's what comes out of a horse's behind.
Forgot to conjugate?
The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racismâ€. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarityâ€. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.
Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage? Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someone’s heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?
There is no such thing as a quote, Hispanic race, unquote.It is a strawman invented by so called liberals. That term has been applied to those from individual South American countries some of which have governments hostile to US and actually claim parts of this country as theirs, and others which are friendly. They are composed of various races as we are, with the difference being their primary common language is Spanish.
Besides flooding the labor market with cheap labor which reduces job opportunities for American citizens in a diminishing base. Highly infectious comunicable diseases are also pouring through this uncontrolled border creating serious health problems.
This destructive utopian Mexican open border approach of even considering granting those who enter the US illegally through it. Entitlement to all benefits beyond those of what we give to our citizens destroys the value of an American citizenship. It is being promoted by the name callers mostly in socialist circles such as the democrat party as well some republicans who use such terms as nativist promoting racial division .
What we should be doing is taking a very very hard look at our relationship with Mexico along with trade and its myriad misstreatment of Americans as 3rd class citizens and its claims on American territory . There is no doubt there are hundreds of complaints, if not thousands, from American citizens who have retired there. Along with travelers running to American consulates about conditions that are going unreported because of this Mexican policy
While we are expected to allow Mexican citizens enter to our country illegally and offer them preferential treatment over our citizens allowing them to purchase land in their own name and and even voting privledges which they cannot do if they choose to retire in Mexico.
The leading Republican candidates and that includes Trump may mention some of this but thus far have refused to identify the problem let alone properly redress it by suggesting or implementing reciprocity.
Since the Mexicans are permitting foreigners transit through their country for illegal entry into ours. Any person entering illegally through that open border whether a bona fide citizen of Mexico or not should be treated as if they were a Mexican and tossed back to Mexico and let Mexico deal with them. Illegals should be offered the same rights as Americans. No property ownership and voting rights let alone access to the multitude of costly programs comm9ng out of US taxpayer pockets.
If reciprocity were implemented there would be no need to worry about who will pay for walls or border fences.Illegals would leave on their own accord . And the value of being an American citizen restored.
Always important for a mushy male to weigh in
What I know from living in Texas and Florida is that “hispanics” immigrants of any skin color’ don’t want anything to do with poor Black Americans. When they are new and poor, too many blacks prey upon them and corrupt their neighborhoods and schools. A lot of Blacks want to get away from welfare blacks, too. Most normal people look at the content of character and not the color of hides no matter how hard the Left tries to turn people into tribes hating and resenting one another.
In the 80s, I went to a history museum in Mexico City. They actually had all the possibilities pictured, with an explanation of the proportion of indigenous vs. black vs. Spanish. The pureblood Spanish couple were pictured as elegant and dignified. The couple with the completely scrambled ethnicity was pictured as a cartoon of a poor couple having a fight. People chuckled as they looked over the display and got to the last scene.
Is there an actual limit to the damage liberals can do to society, and when will we reach it please? I can’t listen to this utter bullsh!t anymore. It’s just flipping ridiculous.
