Honestly from what I understand is that unlike African Americans who were brought here as slaves and have had their ancestry basically stripped from them, Hispanics often view themselves as being more proud of their specific country of origin as Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Honduran, etc. and the problem with this is that apparently a lot of them are racist as fuck towards each other so the republican rhetoric towards the border appeals to them because they don't want Hispanics that arn't from their country of origin coming in to the US
Idk, I'm not Latino so I can't say for sure but I've only ever seen this type of shit as playful ribbing (ie: Mexicans are fat, Ecuadorians are short etc). What I've seen as serious issues among Latino immigrants is economic issues like how consistent work is and if wages are rising, and cultural issues where I find myself starkly diverging from my Latino coworkers.
A lot of Hispanics are slowly being subsumed into something like "whiteness" as time goes on an sucessive generations become more Americanized. You haven't lived until you see some Pablo looking ass motherfucker go into an impassioned borderline Adolf Hitler esque rant about how the people who were their parents one, two, three generations ago or EVEN right fucking now should be gassed for crossing illegally.
I've noticed if you're not too ethnic and Hispanic and espouse enough reactionary bullshit you can sort of ingratiate yourself within the whole of reactionary bullshit. Mexico and other Latin American countries have been multiracial far longer than the USA and they are still as racist and as fucked up and have also had many people who were historically oppressed by the racialized caste system become oppressors.
I think the cracka's are slowly starting to realize they don't have the numbers anymore and are going to need some honorary cracka's.
It makes no sense for the USA to not become the multiracial woke empire. I've noticed a trend among some younger people here in California where they are opposed to racism in a vague sense but despite being a minority they have a very strong, distinct American identity. If you are like me and are born to some poor "Aztec mud people" who can't even speak English, don't know shit, don't even know what the direction "left" is, who are you going to choose: your parents culture which is constantly denigrated, clowned on, shit on, brings you awesome hits like LiveLeak chainsaw beheadings, the greatest food known to man, poverty, or the strong Chris Kyle 1488 culture with the bigass trucks were if you act as psychotic as the progenitors of that zeitgeist you can secure yourself a tenous position of security?
