The Hispanic Vote

Friday 16 March 2012 - Filed under Uncategorized

The New York Times decides to drone on again about the supposed Hispanic vote. Well here’s a hint . . .

Cubans hate Puerto Ricans, who look down on his island neighbor Dominicans who have absolutely nothing in common with Uruguayans which readily look down on their landlocked neighbor Paraguayans who have no contact with Guatemalans who strive desperately to not be mistaken as Nicaraguan who has probably never met any Argentinians who see themselves as superior to all other hispanics. And none of those give the slightest shit about Mexicans and their immigration woes here in the US.

To collectivists, individuals are a non-entity. Only group identities matter, which is why institutions like The New York Times insist that there is such thing as the “hispanic vote”, treating all hispanics, despite the fact that these various peoples share little in common other than language (which greatly varies from culture to culture), as if they are a monolithic voting bloc. And it’s the primary reason why they are irrelevant.
