Ponderable

From https://jspp.psychopen.eu/article/view/750/html:

No one factor describes Trump’s supporters. But an array of factors – many of them reflecting five major social psychological phenomena can help to account for this extraordinary political event: authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, prejudice, relative deprivation, and intergroup contact.

All five of these tightly interconnected phenomena – authoritarianism, social dominance, prejudice, lack of intergroup contact and relative deprivation – make people vulnerable to an intense sense of threat. Authoritarian leaders have long understood that they can attract followers by enhancing the perception of dangerous threats to the society and offering simple solutions (Mols & Jetten, 2016). Sometimes the threats are real (Hitler with massive Weimar inflation), but often they are imagined (Trump with patently false claims of a declining economy, massive voter fraud, enormously increased crime, and unvetted immigration). With a background of genuine terrorist threats, Mideast conflict, and a recent great recession, even imagined threats seem plausible – especially to citizens who are already easily threatened and who have witnessed rapid change in their localities.

Authoritarianism and social dominance attitudes have been routinely found to correlate significantly with far-right voting in nations throughout Europe. These voters share with Trump supporters similar views of women, minorities, immigrants, and free-market economics. Three major Populist-like grievances of Europe’s far-right arise from economic changes, political elitism and immigration – with immigration the most intense issue (Ivarsflaten, 2008). American research suggests that the same can be said about the Trump movement.

My Republican friends are literally scared to walk the streets in some areas of LA during soccer tournaments, etc. They suffer from the “lack of intergroup contact” that is mentioned and they have been brainwashed by their right-wing media.

The United Nations is telling Mexico to clean up its act on racism, which ought to shut up a few Mexican ex-presidents who constantly point the finger...

Making things up?

I have American friends of Mexican descent with dark skin who sometimes go there, and yes, they say it's pretty rampant, especially around the Yucatán peninsula, where there are a lot of resorts. Anyone who follows affairs in Mexico knows about the repeated problems in this issue – a sad state of affairs, given that indigenous Mexicans are considered talented and hardworking yet have no opportunities in their own home country. That's why they come here, illegally at times – because of all the racism rampant in Mexico.

Kind of an embarrassing state of affairs. Next time a Mexican official hurls the racism card at us over rule of law or some criminal who got here illegally and wants to be let off, it's time to bring up the United Nations report, which will be coming out in full in September, and begin to press Mexico on its Klan-like mentality toward its own citizens.

Let's get this straight. You are concerning yourself with claims of racism within the country of Mexico?

Looks like the elite Mexicans don't care for their own injuns,

A United Nations expert on indigenous rights has called on Mexico to achieve an equal and respectful relationship with indigenous peoples, in order to end a "serious pattern" of human rights abuses. "The Government should take decisive steps to show its real commitment to fulfil the rights of indigenous peoples," UN Special Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples Rights, Victoria Tauli-Corpuz said at the end of an official visit to the country.

As in the US, Australia, Guatemala, etc etc. Your point?

No, the Mexicans are concerning themselves with our racism, you know, the racism that does not exist, just like your law degree.

Nope. You've just posted, twice, claims about Mexico's internal racism. Does that make you feel better for hating having so many of them here?
