[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious how skin color factors into all of this. Hispanic is not a race it’s an ethnicity. There are white Hispanics, black Hispanics, and everything in between. My sense is that Hispanics with lighter skin and more European features have in many ways been accepted by whites in their community and are aligning with white conservatives. Hispanics with darker skin who are more black or indigenous looking may be less likely to achieve this same level of acceptance and may not reach the a higher SES either. Hispanics of color are probably less likely to see themselves as someone Republicans are looking out for.

My mom’s side of the family is Hispanic with more white European features, and they have seen some of this play out among other Hispanics we know. [/quote]

In my opinion, a lot although it also has a lot to do with internal community factors.  Colorism does exist there as well while Guatemalans and Salvadorans are often looked down on by other Central Americans.[/quote]
