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. [/quote]
