@manubhatia_@JohnRHuffman@bofrench Lol they never have been. You just realized this when the racism was turned on you? You were cheering them on when it was other groups?
@HaugenTX Well if they were at the Alamo, Texas wasn’t really a thing yet… just like the founding fathers weren’t born American because America as a nation didn’t exist yet. Did you fail Texas history?
@SalmanBhojaniTX “Racism has no place?” How people say this with a straight face? Texas a former member of the confederacy? Where plantations, and confederate monuments still stand? Immigrant politicians need US history lessons.
“Even Black Americans” our people been here for 400+ years before the country was a country, fought in every war, and was the main group that made America live up to its ideals. Ya’ll let too many anti-black immigrants, that just got here, dictate who’s really American.
insane how indians seem to be all on their own here... people will accept koreans, mexicans, and even black americans over them as american... idk how they did it, but they turned literally every group in america against them quickly
@PeterAttar1433 I was and I did… theres an odd assumption that these are all just undergrads, that all these were top 5% (as if that’s the only way to be accepted,) and no such cap exists with graduate level programs.
@LucyBibb@JohnCornyn I went to UT, Black students were rare like 3% of the student body. I think that number like 5% today (and I’m sure a good percentage of those aren’t #ADOS). They really let immigration get out of control.
I’m a conservative Indian-American tax paying Veteran. I have 2 choices in November…
1. Party that’s increasingly becoming Socialist…
2. Party that’s increasingly becoming racist towards people that look like me…
Anyone else in a similar predicament?
@law4community@BreakingBrown That’s a lot of mental gymnastics…
Yvette: “People who ENTER the country illegally have committed a crime.”
Yolanda: “only certain acts like illegal ENTRY… are federal crimes.”
Thanks for revealing whom not to pick if I need legal representation or advice.
@BreakingBrown@dirtydeb95@JashuwahJackson Unpopular opinion: The Black church is central to this mental conditioning. Our community votes in a purely dogmatic way based off pure faith in the system.
Im not shocked that the overall Latino vote went to Talarico instead of Jasmine.
Same thing happened with Kamala. They don’t wanna see a Black Woman win..
As a Hispanic/Latina, I feel we have been given crumbs our whole lives in America.
We've been here the whole time, yet I had no choice growing up but to connect with Black/White culture.
Why? Because our people were only seen on Telemundo and Univision speaking Spanish.
We didn't grow up watching Hispanics/Latinos on TV or hearing their music on local radio.
We grew up on Full House and Family Matters. Idolizing White and Black artist.
Only artist our culture was able to really relate to was Selena. Selena and her family, los Quintanias
represented us well.
Our parents taught us the culture as best they could while being targeted and beaten to forget their origins.
To this day, our culture is underrepresented in American sports, media, and music, yet we celebrate any crumbs given.
People belittle our mothers, abuelos, fathers, sons, and daughters—mocking our English, telling us to go back where we came from, despite being native to the land.
We're happy to join any show, even when working instead of sitting at the tables.
Why don’t we have bigger roles? Why are 97% of executives still White, 2% Black, and 1% other?
Why are we belittled not only by White people, but apparently by some in the Black community too?
America has used and abused us for too long.
I'm happy to support other cultures, but I demand ours be included and respected.
More of our people should be represented in sports, networks, and government.
How do people from foreign countries outside the American continent get more rights, education, and representation than us Latinos?
History repeats itself: we're hunted like animals, disrespected, thrown out, and abused, while foreigners reap benefits from our hard work and land. 😓 💔
People hated the halftime show because it was in Spanish #BadBunny, but we deserve a moment too. Imagine rooting for others as Latinos but when it’s your moment they boo???
That’s very ungrateful, disrespectful and disappointing.
