If you grew up in California prior to the 1960s, Latinos were just another type of white people like the Irish and Italians. They had lived in California for generations. They usually didn’t speak Spanish. They adhered to white norms of courtesy, education and obeying the law. They thought of themselves as white.
Now Latino primarily means people who came to California illegally or they are the descendants of people who came here illegally, meaning their genetic stock comes from the natives of Mexico and Central America (rather than from European ancestry with average IQs around 100, they average IQs around 90), from people who couldn’t make it in Mexico and couldn’t graduate from high school. They’re usually illiterate in English and Spanish. They don’t graduate high school. They work in low-paying low-skilled jobs. They’re an enormous drain on society, sucking up far more government resources than they contribute in taxes. They have high crime rates and high illegitimacy rates. They don’t give a damn about the well-being of the United States of America. They primarily identify with their countries of origin. They litter and destroy our public parks including local parks, state parks and national forests.
If you take a walk through Ferndell just east of Western Avenue and north of Los Feliz, this area used to be lush with ferns. That was part of the design when it was created. Now all the ferns have been stolen, behavior unthinkable to most California Latinos prior to the 1960s.
