Why does .45 hate Latinos so much?

Did he get ripped off or beaten up by one as a child?
Cucked?
Does he think they're all the same? -or-
Is it true white racist dogma?

As a half-Latino American I'm taking his fear-mongering and hate more and more personally.

policies is convenient because they typically do not look European. Also, by implying that Latinos and Mexicans are invading the US in large numbers from the south, he gets to divert his low-info supporters' attention to his plans for a wall instead of these rubes noticing that our country is going to hell...

a history longer than a basketball player's arm of blatant, open, vitriolic racism. Long before he was a politician and where it was not good strategy, he was openly racist.

Because he's a racist.

Fred was in the Klan. Apples and trees.

It's not complicated. His daddy was KKK and had mobster ties. Old Fred didn't raise an enlightened liberal.

Donald was and is a coddled, racist, scofflaw, brat.

I think the presence of Stephen Miller in his inner circle is amplifying his negative actions towards all minority groups and especially Hispanics.

11. Let's broaden the premise, substitute "immigrants" for "Latinos"

Immigration is common to all of us (except Native Americans, unless you go back tens of thousands of years), but vividly recent in SHITLER's life: His Scottish mother; his German grandparents (g-papa an "unaccompanied minor" ) ; two immigrant wives (current one with "chain migration" parents) - it's such a *BIG* factor in his life, why does he have such animus toward immigrants?

It's so ODD, like his affinity for Russia - why? It's been said that he had a chip on his shoulder about trying to break into the upper crust of NY money. Perhaps the immigrant animus is connected to that?

This article says that all the DRUMPF family tried to hide their German roots: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/retropolis/wp/2018/06/27/the-story-of-donald-trumps-grandfather-who-came-to-the-u-s-as-an-unaccompanied-minor/?utm_term=.53d669354fbd
