            It also doesn’t help that there were efforts by the right to spread misinformation to right leaning Hispanic voters linking democrats to the authoritarian leaders they fled. It was an effective strategy.

              Also with how immigration from other countries is controlled to typically target highly specialized workers who will see themselves as part of the upper class while over here.

              The western showdown with caste discrimination is a direct result of this, migrants from south asia tend to imbalance towards higher caste individuals who have a chip on their shoulder from India having passed caste affirmative action and who then go on to pick fights about how its their religious right to engage in it in the west.

        Trump hits new poll highs with Black, Hispanic voters. What to make of it?

        Quotes

        Across five high-quality polls that have broken out non-White voters in the past month, Trump is averaging 20 percent of Black voters and 42 percent of Hispanic voters.

        Both numbers — and especially that for Black voters — could set modern-day records for a Republican in a presidential election.

        No Republican presidential candidate in the past 50 years has approached receiving 20 percent of the Black vote. Since Republicans took 18 percent in 1972 and 16 percent in 1976, according to exit polls, they haven’t taken more than 12 percent of Black
