Donald Trump’s projected victory in Florida will be due in no small part to Cuban Americans voting Republican. And, as we know, if you’re a minority who votes Republican, you surrender your minority status.

“Latinos are ackshually white” is also an effective outreach method:
The "Cuban Vote" is not the "Latino Vote." Cubans have been sold a narrative that they have a guaranteed path to whiteness, and many will sell out every other minority to get it. Trump's appeal is the appeal of white supremacy.

That’s right, folks. It’s our old friend Nikole Hannah-Jones to explain to us why those pesky Latinos are the way they are:
One day after this election is over I am going to write a piece about how Latino is a contrived ethnic category that artificially lumps white Cubans with Black Puerto Ricans and Indigenous Guatemalans and helps explains why Latinos support Trump at the second highest rate.

People are consistently surprised by how Latinos trail only white voters in their support for Trump, but this is simply an unsophisticated understanding of the Latino as a category created by white po. Do white Cubans as a group identify naturally identify w Mexicans in camps?

I’ve studied and traveled to Cuba, the DR and Brazil, and trust me, all these former slave societies suffer racial divisions and racial hierarchies based on whiteness but when they come to the US we suddenly tell them they are all part of a single “minority” group. Nope. pic.twitter.com/cmzeiJ9771

Definitely. Because she’s a journalist, don’t you know:
I’m a journalist. It’s actually my job to write. If you’ve ever bothered to read me you’d know all of my work relies on and cites scholars and their work. Thanks.
— Ida Bae Wells (@nhannahjones) November 4, 2020
*Except for the scholars who pointed out all the flaws in her magnum opus.
Anyway, if Nikole Hannah-Jones is a journalist, it’s only if “journalist” is being used as a pejorative.
She is, however, a flaming racist.
Wooooo! Here comes some racism! https://t.co/GV50QsqMNF

So, the NYT recently did a lot of racial categorization in which Arab Christians were deemed white, and Arab Muslims non-white. Is there a similar "escaped from communism" card that makes Hispanics white? https://t.co/0ponzn2rST

Bigoted person promotes bigotry based on skin tone. Not surprising in the least. Remember when Hannah-Jones also said Asians shouldn't count as people of color?
This isn't just a one-time thing. It's who she is. https://t.co/oXx6LMbo0c
