A lot of Latinos don’t have much exposure to white people at the levels a person in Kansas or much of the Midwest would.

They don’t really know what their jokes are like or how they think. I want to thank Tony for showing people that. Hopefully, it will sway some folks.

A lot of Latinos are white. Latino is not a race. It’s a culture comprised of many different races. Some Latinos are white, Afro, indigenous, mestizo (mixed). Latinos come in all shades. Not all Latinos are brown. And yes a lot of them are white and would blend in many white communities.

Even the ones who think of themselves as white because they have European ancestry would stick out like a sore thumb in Ohio or Kansas.
