Like this guy Alex Ramos in the title. Just want to analyze this phenomena, it's so weird to me. My girlfriend is from cuba and thinks it's bizarre as well.

    A lot of immigrants from Latin America are well-off or relatively middle class in their country of origin and they "escaped" or sought to avoid Communism. They are propagandized into accepting American capitalism and individualism. If they are white, they also enter in a pact with White privilege/White Supremacy - meaning that they do not feel as alienated or downwardly mobile as Afro-Latinos and central american immigrants. IT is also a material fact that American society is highly propagandized into not accepting socialist or communist ideas, and their first contact with progressive ideas might be/is the concept of Latinx (the amount of Latino people I've ran into that find this offputting is significant) as well as the propagandization of why their own countries suck (it's not neocolonialism, it's crooked socialist politicians, etc.)
