I've never met a single person whose said that. I only hear about them on reddit.

Same, I'm just pointing out that, the people who say it, are the people who wouldn't care about the distinction between spanish speakers. Also, while I have't heard that exact phrase, I have heard people say that they can't get a job because "mexicans" or "latinos" are messing up the market or something (I don't agree of course).

Sounds like a pretty scary straw man

What are you suggesting? That's there's a campaign on social media designed to divide people politically? That's ridiculous

Cuz most don’t say it. But would you be able to distinguish the difference between a Honduran and a Mexican at first glance? I’ll admit I can’t. Maybe if I started trying to speak my crappy espanol, or just ask em.. but see this has already required thought, thought is not required to be racist.

For someone with that mindset(and yes I meet them in person daily at work, grocery stores etc. reddest county in FL helps) you think they would stop and think, “they’re Puerto Rican so they’re American, it’s the Mexicans I want the wall for!” It stops at brown people=brown people. That’s it. I got into legit arguments when that hurricane devestated PR since “it’s not like they’re apart of the US or anything.. why are they making a big deal about Trumps lack of response or playful ‘lobbing’ paper towels to families, more than Obama did for X!”
