Race/ethnicity has been used by La Raza and other illegal alien advocates to demonize and silence opposition. It's a lie, period. They are exploiting the ugly history of slavery and Jim Crow to support their agenda. They can't defend their position, so they use the race card. Furthermore, "Hispanic" is not a race. One can be from any race and be Hispanic. Moreover, the majority of Hispanics self-identify as "white." It is total nonsense. There is no "brown" race.

While we will always have racism, the vast majority of citizens opposed to CIR are not racists or xenophobes. Again, that is nothing but spurious propaganda. Any country's citizens would be opposed to having untold millions streaming across their border, living and working in their country, and using their resources without going through legal channels. If I wanted to live in Mexico or Central America, I would move there. I don't want my country transformed into their third-world existence.

I daresay, if millions of Haitians started entering Mexico, they would not be welcome. They certainly would not receive the red carpet treatment Hispanic illegal aliens receive in the USA. Their children would be denied an education, and adults would be denied jobs. They would be forced to leave, or die.

Furthermore, Hispanics are some of the most racist people I have encountered. They complain about racism against Hispanic illegal aliens. Yet, they are racists. They bring their racist culture to this country, and consider themselves superior to Black Americans; because, in their countries, black people are considered scum. Talk about hypocrisy!

BTW, how do you define extremism?
Not any member of my family (which includes a black American brother in-law) nor me have ever referred to ANY black American as scum; we don't think we are superior to anyone based on race; we are Hispanic*

*I have very close friends who are black Americans who are continuously stereotyped and scrutinized by the community at large due to legacy racism and racist attitudes. They are CS professionals with advanced graduate degrees; it makes not a difference. We go out to eat, and they get treated differently. We go shopping and I can feel the difference. The majority of those enabling the prejudice are "white" Americans. I've only ever dated Caucasian men; most of my friends are Caucasian; and they too are aware of intrinsic racist attitudes. We believe in creating change by modeling the behavior that we wish to see in others, and to lead by example. I'm sorry that you have experienced racism from other Hispanics; surely you know by now not to paint everyone with the same brush.
