      We are in the beginning stages of hispanic genocide in the United States, and it is clearly perpetrated by one side.

        First, it isn’t really a hispanic genocide, it is a Native American genocide. They aren’t hauling off white people allegedly from Spain like Hilaria Baldwin.

        They are also starting to include black people and white people who are opposed. Of course, this is still primarily a genocide against Natives.

        And it isn’t the beginning, it is hundreds of years in the making. The reason they dislike Spanish speaking Latin countries, is because those are the places where the Natives won. Look at their leaders and their races - now look at Canada and the US.

        Native Americans SHOULD have rights to cross borders to preserve ancient trade routes. Eg horses arrived in the west of North America well before white men did, because of these trade routes. These people are all loosely related and have been travelling between peoples and intermarrying for thousands of years, literally.

        Second, are you seeing people in favor of ICE here? I’ve never seen a hateful comment towards Latinos, Natives, or hispanics on Lemmy but I’m open to the idea that there are comments like that here. The way your first comment reads, it can be interpreted to mean you are actually advocating FOR the genocide btw, or making it seem like there is a both sides - the Natives are completely innocent.
