In reply to the discussion: Poll: Latino voters trust Trump on immigration over Biden [View all]mathematic
(1,610 posts)We need to stop pretending the following all share a commonality other than language of an ancestor's homeland:
Puerto Ricans
3rd (or later) generation Mexican-Americans
Naturalized Mexican-Americans
Mexican immigrants
3rd (or later) generation Cuban-Americans
Cuban immigrants
Dominican-Americans
Venezuelan immigrants
Argentine-Americans
Filipinos (some are considered hispanic or latino)
And so on and so on with all the permutations of ancestral country of orgin and generational status.
In 2024 most people in this demographic category were born in the US.
Every year that goes by increases the proportion of this category who's only knowledge of spanish is how to say "grandma". They have as much affinity to the specific ancestral country of origin as any other hyphenated american (which is to say, it varies from none to a lot with everything in between).
