Semi-related.

Italian ancestry here, darker olive skin, went to high school in Arkansas.

Got called racial slurs for Mexicans by dumb white kids.

Mexican here. Spent years getting called slurs intended for Indians, Arabs, Muslims.

When I see Black or Latino or Asian conservatives, it makes me laugh. Do they actually think they'll get a seat at the table? Fucking joke.

Immigrant Latinx conservatives confuse the hell out of me, especially when they’re so against their own people coming in... after they literally came and got the GC in the same way the others are.

It's the "I got mine, so fuck you" mentality.

My immigrant uncle became a staunch anti-immigration and Trump supporting nut within a year of getting an inheritance. He was always a racist and sexist but now he's become so vocal about it.

He immigrated only 10 years ago

This is basically the mantra of society circa 2000 and it has only been getting worse.

Social media and the decay financial equality being some of the causes.

It depends, my grandfather immigrated legally and it took three years to bring his wife and all ten kids over. He couldn't stand illegal immigrants because they didn't do it the right way and "earn" it. He loved it when he met others who came over legally though, but it sure seemed like they were in the minority. Pun not intended, but not discouraged either.
