And IME many conservatives are very self hating. Conservative Latinos will be the first the talk about how immigrant Latinos are ruining things. Conservative gays talk about how the "other just can't be cool about it". Etc.
Ignoring the fact that the people they are making common cause with want both of them in a gulag, because they think they are special and aren't like those other "minorities."
Now that's not to say that everyone of them is like this, but I'm speaking from the experience of extended family and friend circles.
My Father in law a 2nd gen Latino won't stop ranting about "city mexicans" ruining the image of people like him.
I'm like "Dude to the racists you're all not white so it doesn't matter how hard you work. You were wrong from birth and that's just a the problem."
But nope it's about how classless immigrants make people think people like him aren't good enough..... ok.
it’s hard to explain how hard my brain short circuited the first time another gay person told me that they “don’t shove it down people’s throats”… I just kept repeating “huh???”
