Should hispanics also be asked to confront anti-whiteness from their community?

Such racism does exist.

They also have a macho/misogynist culture to confront.

I work with a number of engineers from Mexico and Central America. These are men and women who have at least a bachelors degree under their belt. There is no “racism” in their culture inasmuch as skin color. Their prejudices stem from education. If you are uneducated, you are scum. How one speaks, how one carries themselves, and what job one holds carries more weight than skin color.

Speaking with folks from Brazil, they laugh at why we are so hung up on skin color (most of us aren’t). Skin color can’t change. But education indicates initiative and is something that can be earned and changed. I don’t agree with any sort of caste systems, but at least there’s a way to substantively change your lot in their culture.

I attended an international school in Venezuela in the 70s and all the Venezuelan kids were always bragging that “there’s no racism here, everyone’s equal”. When it was pointed out to them that it seemed all the high government officials and business owners were light-skinned and of European extraction and all the laborers were dark-skinned and of African/indigenous extraction, the usual response was, “coincidence!”. Hugo Chavez was a response to hundreds of years of light-skin domination. I was stationed in Panama in the late 80s. Ditto Manuel Noriega.

Latinos are as racist toward each other as anybody else.

Some idiots have taken up the challenge of changing the hispanics institutional racism to on their knees worship.
From the state with a 2.5% black population, the elevation of that 2% to the tippy top of the heap. It may not bode as well with the La Raza pure race folks though. Time will tell.

Hispanic Wokeness Rules N.M.
