Trump’s remarks weren’t the first time Trump or a high-profile politician had made racist comments about Latinos. Trump himself has blamed crime on blacks and Hispanics before. But this time Latinos were quicker to unite and more effective to protest than ever before. Trump’s outsized personality probably had something to do with the passion of the response. But this became a watershed moment for the Hispanic community mostly because of how the outrage was manifested through social media, and how Hispanic mainstream media reacted to this discontent.

In Latin America, politicians and celebrities channeled Hispanics’ collective indignation. Mexican ex-presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon called him an “idiot” and a “hypocrite,” while the Mexican congress declared Trump persona non grata. Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro said Trump was a “bandit and a thief,” and that "whoever messes with Mexico, messes with Venezuela." Televisa, the largest Spanish-language network in the world, cut all ties with Trump, and Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico said they were not sending candidates to Trump’s Miss Universe pageant. Mexican celebrities like Gael García Bernal called him an “imbecile” and others like Puerto Rico’s Ricky Martin, Cuban-American Pitbull, Spain’s Chef José Andrés, and Colombia’s Shakira and Paulina Vega—the reigning Miss Universe—denounced his statements.

“When you attack one of us, you attack all of us,” journalist Jorge Ramos said during an award ceremony last week. “And on Election Day, we will remember.”

1. This could be a watershed moment for Latino political power in America

something tells me Trump's political legacy will be firmly cementing the Latino vote for the Democrats.
