I don’t see Mexicans positions “Latino genocide “ threads..
I’m sure it goes on..
I’m sure it even happens where people would rather them marry X , different race instead of Y different race..
But is it enough to make up a voting block?? Doubtful..
The fact is you rarely have other races pretending they are superior
I agree it's not 99%, but definitely some are crying wolf. It's like sexual assault, anytime people know that many will automatically believe them, some people will take advantage of that to manipulate others or play the victim and gain advantage or target someone else.

I disagree about 99% crying wolf.. the thing is that right wing media ONLY highlights the most ridiculous racism claims.. it is their bread and butter.
Finding isolated individuals with zero authority of following . Then pretending they get to speak for “the left” , all black people, exc..
Go on any man site and you might see an article or 2 on racism..
Go to any right wing site and every other article is reverted racism..
Sure, there are idiots and manipulators everywhere. At the same time, liberals pull the race card more often, and frankly there are articles and statements that say things about white people that if the roles were reversed, would be considered racist. There's a fun program that can change text in articles online. They changed salon articles from about whites to either blacks or Jews and it sounded like nazi propaganda. There's nothing social justice about such things, even though those writing such articles hide behind that facade. Be objective.

Of course some are crying wolf.. it is human nature to take the path of least resistance.
So in a situation where someone can get out of trouble , they play the race card..
WHERE DO YOU THINK REVERSE RACISM COMES FROM?!?!
Lol..
How many times have you seen ON THE NEWS, a conservative call some one a racist for falsely accusing some one of racism????
Just for an example..
Someone falsely accuses trump of being a racist. Then the rebuttal is usually “that’s not racist. Your the racist..”
Falsely accusing some one of being a racist, makes you either wrong, an idiot , a political shill, exc..
It does not make you a racist..that is laughable yet literally every single conservative commentator or elected official will instantly go there..

Actually it is because of some legal loophole from when Texas joined the union. For some reason Latinos were decided to be legally white.
This meant that the 14th amendment protections did not apply to them. Since white isn’t something you can use as a criteria to legally sue for discrimination.
And in the US, some forms and official reports list things like "Hispanic whites" and "non-Hispanic whites" for this very reason.

BWAHAHAHA
Travel to the south some time...
The people who thought like that are still alive..
The civil rights act and the counter-revolution to civil rights happened in 1964(?) a huge percentage of those who supported segregation are still alive today.
Have things gotten better??
ABSOLUTELY a thousand fold, but that is a relative term..
First we have to establish how bad it was... and it was amazingly bad..
Omg bad...
And slavery wasn’t the worst part.. the aftermath of slavery was.
During slavery there were financial and societal reasons not to brutalize your slaves..
After abolition all that vanished and the white southerners were not gonna blame themselves for all the death and lost treasure . So they blamed the greed slaves because they “didn’t know their place”.
The worst atrocities were not 300 years ago.. nor 150 years ago .. they were last week in historical terms.
