the trouble is they direct their aggression towards the working class folk who are not complicit, as the ones who are the problem could easily retaliate. in short, they are misguided and therefore racist.
and it's not a one-time namecalling, it's constant passive aggression. as you have pointed out, the name itself means nothing.
i understand the context, which is explicitly why i do not support donald trump's candidacy. but at the same time the white working class folk, who are not employing the illegal immigrants as slave labor are bearing the brunt of having their cultural milieu disrupted.
i know i'm speaking in generalizations here; i honestly like majority of latin americans; believe me i have more than enough criticisms of my own culture, but the whole mass immigration dynamic is just a race to the bottom facilitated by the ceos and their government cronies. the answer is solidarity, but that's impossible when your coworker is a ignorant macho "la raza" asshole with a real "fuck you gringo" attitude.
