I’ve heard all types and sorts of stuff from this notorious (yet darkened) character from politics…what did he think he did that day w/ the accusations against Mexicans anyways? To whom was he actually targeting those words?
Most of the hispanic and latino community is in expectation of what new offensive/racist words will sprout from Trump’s mouth. The other part of the hispanic community that I didn’t mention (minority) are pro-Trump and pro-everything he says, feeling themselves as natives of this country called USA (although they are descendants of immigrants, third generation at the most perhaps).
Still remember that day when this candidate to the presidency said those accusative words against Mexican immigrants; however this elicited a response not just in Mexico, but in Latin America, reacting and recalling the brotherhood and support there is amongst hispanics and Latin Americans
Yes, yes I know…there has been a long breach between Mexicans and the rest of Latin Americans due to missunderstandings and because of the strong sense of nationality that we, Mexicans do have. (I was born in Mexico, raised in USA practically my whole life, but still my sense of nationality is there, and view myself as Mexican despite being an American citizen). This is the problem: People from Central and South America have long complained that Mexicans don’t like to call themselves Latin Americans but instead they call themselves what it should be: Mexicans (due to strong nationality concepts), this makes the others feel a bit discouraged or left aside, still I don’t know why, but they feel a bit offended or feel that there is a sense of superiority amongst mexicans, but that is just BS. All I can say now is that if it was closed…now that breach and gap was narrowed and is a bit stronger than what it was 20 yrs ago.
It was brought to worldwide attention: media (from around the globe, specially in formal interviews of Latin American figures,vocal talent show demonstrations of support), latin community growing a bit more united and conscious that this racial attack could have been directed to any one.
My favourite part was him being kicked off of NBC, Univision and well, it is hilarious that Carlos Slim, a Mexican whom is included in the list is richer than him in all ways
At least this is “the only something” I consider as a triumph for Trump…is: his babbling united hispanics of all spheres of society and life.
