Here's my experience with Latinos:

Latinos have never assaulted me or my family. Black people and white crackheads (and homeless) have. As a person who has lived near both, I'd take Latinos over black people and white crackheads ANY day of the week. Obviously, if I had a choice, I'd choose kind, middle class or better, neighbors.

OP is right about the trash and graffiti. He's definitely right about the loud music and staying up to all hours of the night. But my Latino neighbors would mow my lawn on occasion and bring me food when they had their 2 AM parties. Also...they were very defensive about the black people cruising through our neighborhood. That was the best - they protected their "turf" from the black people. hehe!

There are differences between Latinos. Even from Mexico, there are differences - they bring different subcultures with them. Every single Guatemalan man I've ever met would literally work himself to death to make a better life for himself and his family. I definitely cannot say that about every Mexican. Every Puerto Rican woman I've ever met was smart as hell but was extremely feisty (I don't know why). Peruvians are the kindest people I've met outside of Amish, Mormons, and Thai (I don't know why but Thai immigrants are absurdly kind).

I could summarize why it seems like I differ from OP: I don't. OP is talking about poor, lazy, Latinos. I'm talking about the hard working lower-middle class to middle class Latinos. OP is giving us a picture of the bottom quartile of Latinos. Honestly, I really do think we should deport as many of those as possible even if it destroys families. The US has a responsibility to her citizens - not the illegal immigrants.

Cringe.

I agree. Extreme sweeping racism against anyone who doesn't look super white is cringe AF.

RiseTheReich ago

Yeah all your ancestors were cringe af. You're the normal one. You know better than all of them.

Too wrong. My ancestors escaped Europe to get away from racism against them and religious oppression: coming to America to start a new life where they would not have to deal with racism and religious-based bigotry.

Does this make you angry?

RiseTheReich ago

Projection. You're so mad right now and then you ask others if they're angry. What race are you?

dadudemon1 ago

Huh, what?

Whiter than you are, that's what race I am. Get jealous.

RiseTheReich ago

You're probably not white.

dadudemon1 ago

Correct. I'm DEFINITELY white. There's not "probably" about it.

I know you're jealous. Because you view this as some sort of achievement. You're correct: here comes whitey to steal your taxes. WEEEE!
