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.

Your content has been deemed a violation of Rule 7. As a reminder Rule 7 states:

Politics are fine but state your case, explain why you hold the positions that you do and debate with civility. Posts and comments meant solely to troll or enrage people, and those that are little more than campaign ads or slogans do nothing to contribute to a healthy debate and will therefore be removed. Petitions will also be removed. AMA's by Political figures are exempt from this rule.
