Well, at some point someone will just up and say that it becomes tiresome for minorities to hear that because this happened to this minori

ty we all care about that minority

(We SHOULD care about them, mostly because they are human beings, but that is not how it works)

Mexicans are not Colombians
Colombians are not Mexicans
Hondurans are not Puerto Ricans
Puerto Ricans are not Honduras

and on and on and on

all of my hispanic family members strongly support trump because THEY WANT cages to happen. THEY WANT immigration to stop. "white people" came from immigrants to Americans, and a lot oppose immigration. Why would "hispanic people" be any different?

I still don't get how white people have not understood this yet and, more troubling, why they insist on thinking that because we have a common ethnicity we must all think the same (or should think the same)

- In my experience it can be a mix. Some of the younger ones are the "deny my heritage" types. It really seems to be at the end of the day personality - JackDawson Jun 11, 11:04 1
