      Uh… after the way Latinos voted in the last election, I am now against immigration. We don’t need more fascist enablers.

        I am not Latino nor American so on sketchy ground here BUT Many Latino people are American. You’ve fallen victim to one of the classic racist blunders.

        There are people out there who’s ancestors were born in Mexico, and never moved to the US - the border moved over them (California, New Mexico, Texas) - and they continued having families with slightly darker skin, until today.

        Plus, the definition of Latino/Hispanic/Chicano/Mexican/South American isn’t exactly set in stone, and can mean different things depending on whats convenient at the time.

          I’m not sure where you got the idea I didn’t think there aren’t Latino Americans, lol. Hell, there’s a whole island of Latino Americans that are born citizens. I didn’t fall for any racist trope, either, I was partially raised by Latinos. I happen to be very aware of how the poison of religion has caused a conservative bent among many Latinos. Ultimately, that comment was mostly tongue in cheek, I’m not actually against immigration, but I am very disappointed in the Latino community, primarily the men, for enabling the shitshow we have waiting for us in a couple of months.

        Um… Literally all ethnic groups voted for Trump. If you don’t want fascist enablers you’ll have to delete America off the map or delete the DNC off the map.

          Sure, sure. But only three groups had a vast majority vote for Trump. Whites, Latinos, and native Americans. I only give the natives a pass, plus they aren’t represented in significant enough numbers to impact the election the way whites and Latinos did.
