Arizona Latinos Lose Their Cool While the Cameras Roll

*sighs* And I expect more of the same, which will only make people say that the bill is a great idea, and turn the entire discourse even more into a dialogue about race/ethnicity than one about civil liberties and Constitutionality. It's par for the course.

I don't suppose it escapes anyone that the only person actually arrested... was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Not the Security guy, not the guy who was allegedly "hurling insults and trying to start a riot," not the kid who threw a water bottle at "riot" guy... but the person who threw a water bottle and happened to hit a cop.

Bunches of people, and just a few causing trouble, who will define the entire opposition to the bill.

It sounds familiar, but somehow I fully expect it will be absorbed and become part of the justification for "good riddance" and "send 'em all back" remarks in the near future.

are these police hiding behind unarmed citizens at the end of the second video?
 
Why is it that the Cuban population in Florida is so orderly and upstanding whereas we see riots out West?

To this "latinos" everything gravitates around their ethnicity...so it becomes very natural for people who are not of their tribe to become tribalist when confronted with "latino" tribalism.

immigrants in Florida are competing with different ethnic groups. There is a strong Latino culture and heritage in places like Ybor City, South and West Tampa, Little Havana, Hialeah.

I think out west there is no real culture for Latinos of any blood and this causes the cultural restlessness. I also don't see too much of a history of diversity that would inspire immigrants from different countries to go out west. Big cities like SF, LA, or SD are convenient destinations for immigrants south of the border, and AZ is in my mind a jump off point more than anything else.

I would say by far out of all the various Latino Cultures and heritages, Cubans in FL are the most outspoken, organized, and violent.

Here is a video of a Little Havana protest that turned violent. These little things happen quite a bit in Miami.

How about you stick to the issue instead of using this as an opportunity to sound like a whining bitch.
 
When I was in Tampa, there were many different Latino cultures, mixed with white and black people. People seemed to work together, and everyone brings something to the table. What would Tampa be without Ybor and their awesome Cuban sandwiches? I never experienced racism of any kind in Tampa, altho Im sure it was out there. Just not with the people I was around. Overall everyone seemed to work together.

My question is however, what are the Mexican's out west bringing to the table? Are they simply taking advantage and using us and our laws to benefit their families in Mexico or are they wanting to leave their countries behind and become US citizens like everyone else that has come here for a better life?
 
antagonizing an emotional crowd of sheep all by yourself is not recommended if you value your life.

Except "Latinos" come in every color along the spectrum, so your "whites" comment is silly and ignorant (surprise!).

How kind of you to notice the several self-identified (we're taking their word for it, or rather the media's) Latinos who were throwing water bottles, but not the many, many, many of them that were not.

I hope you get a hug today, even if it is from a brown person.
