90. Have you seen some of our national rhetoric towards Latinos?

Tue May 27, 2025, 07:35 PM

Tuesday

It’s situated in such a way that acts like that entire community just came over the border last weekend. Like immigration is literally all they care about.

Once you see it, you always see it.

When we lost the last election, I saw - right here - wishes that Latinos would be deported to “learn their lesson.” Right here. As if most Latinos aren’t American citizens on second, third, and fourth generation. It’s insulting - and it’s increasingly taken as such.

We’re great at seeing bigotry in others. Not so much when self-examination time kicks in.
