What’s with the rise of Hispanic “white supremacists”?

No doubt Garcia was full of rage before his three month military experience.

This Mexican (Mexican american?) guy shoots up the mall in Allen Texas. He kills what, 8 or 9 people- seems like many were white.

So we don’t know if shooter thinks of himself as white. Victims are white in large part.

Washington post says he’s a white supremacist?

Is that in the khendi sense like you’re a racist if you aren’t an anti-racist?

Otherwise, I just don’t get it.

Why would a white supremacist kill white people?

Anyone?

None of them are WASPs. Also they are not regarded as white by WASPs.

They think of themselves as white but are not generally thought of as white by non-hispanic white people.

They are white. They are white with a Spanish surname. Spaniards are European white. Hispanic is a race the USA made up in the 1950’s when so many Puerto Ricans were leaving the island for NY. The census had to find a way to distinguish them. Ted Cruz is an all white man whose Italian/Spaniard father was born in Cuba.

So they are brown people when it’s convenient for the left, and white people when it’s convenient to the left.

If they hate Blacks and Jews and women and gays and anything woke, your guys think they are white enough.

I'm sorry, what? I am a Jew and a woman. My guys?

Was the gun legally obtained?

It doesn't have to make sense. Most of these mass shooters have mental health issues. Most are suicidal. This particular shooter was dismissed from the military after just several months, probably due to MH issues. People like this often (but not always) find some group(s) to focus their anger, frustration, and low self-esteem on--sometimes it's based on race/ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, etc., sometimes it's just people in general that they want to kill.

It looks like only one of the victims was white, and that was the security guard. I assume he was shot trying to stop the shooter.

Moreover, it generally matters nothing to them which people killers target. But if they want headlines, they know what the media likes.

When there are no laws, then yes. Doesn't it seem problematic that someone who was discharged from the US military for mental instability was able to legally obtain guns?

Half of those killed were Asian, one was a security guard, two others were children. He may have picked out the Asian family and shot everyone in their vicinity. Like most violent right-wingers he targeted innocent unarmed strangers because at heart he was a cowardly punk.

There are laws. A legally obtained gun in gun shop - there are rules to follow. Can you show me the paperwork please?

When one can buy a gun at a gun show without showing an ID, there are basically no rules to follow. When there are no rules to follow, anyone can get a gun and use it as they deem fit. If they are mentally unstable, then they don't care if they kill innocent, unarmed people.

Not true. I’ve been to gun shows and the dealers must run a background check before a sale and that requires an ID

Yes, all people can and do hold some racial biases--but not all people belong to a racial group that holds the most power in society. That is the difference.

There is a significant difference whether one is the oppressor or the oppressed.

Using the terms oppressor or oppressed to describe vast swaths of the US population is ridiculous and why few people take DEI etc seriously anymore.

I grew up in the South in the 1960s. Don’t give me that ignorant bullshit.

I think the point is that what was broadly true in the south was not universal then or today.

In your white fantasies. It’s real in Mississippi and Alabama and Florida and Texas and Tennessee and a lot more states. Those state legislatures would pass segregation tomorrow if they could get away with it.

The Leopards Eating Faces Party is going to be strong with this topic.

Is this a “senpai noticed me” kind of thing where they are hoping they’ll get acknowledged by founding stock Americans?

Excellent question especially since Latinos will be the dominant voting block eventually. This confused identity does sound extremely ironic and unfortunate.

Are there any studies on this phenomenon ? What do the Hispanics who identify with white supremacists say about why this racist ideology makes sense to them?

We would need to defer to the actual Hispanic people who hold these WS views but some possibilities are:

1. Not well educated and easily swayed by online dogma and easy answers to complex problems.

2. Attracted to sense of belonging with a group perceived to be dominant or influential in their new country .

3. They may agree with the non racist parts of white supremacist ideology such as being wary of government since they may come from countries with highly corrupt government officials and police.


I think this phenomena is a sign that much better public education against online hate groups such as white supremacists os needed.

Private sales don’t require that.
