Latino Voters Want to Vote in This Election Just to Take Down Donald Trump

[Deleted]

Maybe Latino has the same negative connotation as "negro" does now?

Only Americans use latino anyway

What do you use? Hispanic?

We don't describe them as an ethnicity

The context was illegals.

But hey, disregard him saying he is fine with immigration.

He says something along the lines of "People are going to immigrate here, they are going to have a good time, but they are going to do it legally."

I mean, if we are going to hold things against people for things they said in the past as absolutes, I am sure there are a few other candidates and leaders who should be up for the chopping block.

You're right; the vast majority should be. Trump heads the pack.

Then how do you describe them? Just from their country?

Yeah, hell most would probably still say white

But they aren't white? =S

Illegal immigrants shouldn't be voting and if they do whoever they voted for should be disqualified.

Such quotes doesn't help him.

Their is a good measure of truth in those quotes if not completely accurate.

None of my friends or relatives would refer to themselves as "dirty Latinos" either, but they would happily refer to themselves as "Latinos," because that's a perfectly acceptable term. This sounds like something in your family culture, not reality.

I think a lot of folks just confuse the terms. A Latino would be someone from Latin America (i.e. South, Central America, and Mexico), while someone who is Hispanic means that we come places that speak Spanish. So someone from Brazil would be Latino but not Hispanic, while someone from Spain would be Hispanic, but not Latino.

My recently passed grandmother might have looked Mexican due to the Moorish ancestry, but she would be turning in her grave to be called a Latina.

You don't see a flaw in the logic of the second half of that? Because everyone else in this thread does.

Even I see the flaw in that.

The candidate is not responsible for who votes for them. That is up to the voter, therefore the candidate should not be punished.

Right, Trump's Goldshirts will use their magic eyes to tell the difference between legal and illegal immigrants before they harass them.

Or they'll do what they actually want to do and just round up all the brown people and sort them out later.

If they are charging the border at night with backpacks they are probably illegal. If they dont have a birth certificate, they are probably illegal. seems pretty simple to me. Stop baiting, nobody has a problem with american citizens, what we have a problem with is people coming over and beign a drain on our system by not paying taxes.

Latin American people are white....that's why when you fill out a form that asks your ethnicity, it says Hispanic white or non-hispanic white.

If you were to Google caucasian or white you'll see people considered hispanic fit the criteria

Politifact begs to differ.

[Felya]

Have you ever watched Trump rallys and events? He brings up the fact he is completely fine with legal immigrants many times.

Illegal immigrants cheat the system.

Yes, just like every troll needs to say 'I love you, you are a great person, a+ in my book' before saying 'you are giant douche' to no longer be trolling.

[Maxilian]

You don't know how Latinos feel. Most intelligent Hispanic people wouldn't even refer to themselves as Latino it's a dirty word for poor ignorant people.

That's false, it may be true in some places, but that doesn't mean that it applies to everyone also, Hispanic =/= Latino

Since it has come up again:
