    1. Personal attacks motivated by bias or prejudice reached a 16-year high in 2018, the F.B.I. said Tuesday, with a significant upswing in violence against Latinos outpacing a drop in assaults targeting Muslims and Arab-Americans.....

    Hate crimes against Latinos were at their highest level since 2010, when the unemployment rate and border crossings from Mexico were both peaking. Some advocates placed the blame for the recent rise on President Trump.

    “There’s a direct correlation between the hate speech and fear-mongering coming from President Trump and the right wing of the Republican Party with the increase in attacks against Latinos,” said Domingo Garcia, the national president of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

    Mr. Garcia said that immigration had replaced terrorism as the new “bogeyman” for the American right and predicted that the rise in hate crimes would not stop until the harsh rhetoric against Latinos had ended.....

    2. Violent hate crimes against Latinos have surged to a 16-year high in the US even though they have a powerful outspoken representative in the Congress. However, the guy seems to be more interested in laying the groundwork for his future presidency than looking after the welfare of his own kind.

    Just think about it. If Moses were more interested in being the "Prince of Egypt” than caring about the plight of his own kind in Egypt, the Bible and world history would be entirely different. China should give the US a taste of its own medicine by passing a human rights act to sanction the US for its rising hate crimes against the Latinos. The US should be given another dose of its own medicine by being condemned in the United Nations for its abuse of Latino minorities. :smile:

    Reported that violent hate crimes against Latinos have increased yet we have Trump supporters claim it is fake news. What do you supporters expect would happen given that your President has been attacking Mexicans and South America for several years

    I simply can't believe how ignorant and poorly informed some U.S liberals are. Astonishing lack of knowledge and basic facts.

    Mexicans admit they're racist — if only we could

    https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/370569-mexicans-admit-theyre-racist-if-only-we-could

    No honest Mexican can deny the fact of Mexican racism; multiple studies confirm that beyond any doubt. In one, conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography, the study determined that skin color directly influences how much education is achieved and what kind of employment an individual is offered.

    What is the point of your post? Is it that because Mexicans are racists then it's ok for Americans to be racists? Is it that because Mexicans are racists then Americans are not racists? Perhaps you could explain how your post is a rebuttal to the OP? After all you've accused Liberals of effectively stupidity so perhaps you can enlighten those Liberals?

    The point of my post is that not a single democrat/liberal ever condemned Mexicans for their racism on steroids. It's hypocritical. Furthetmore, forget about anti-Trump propaganda for a moment. The fact is that Latino and African American communities do not get along. Proper racism.

    He's not attacking Mexican's or South Americans, he attacks the ones who come here illegally or try to game the system with faux asylum claims.
