"While racism and nationalism have existed in America for a very long time, the politics of Donald Trump have brought them back into sharp focus. As David Greene told NPR listeners, we’re beginning to see the real impact that Trump’s campaign has had on America at a very basic level:
“There was a basketball game last month near Gary, Ind. Two Catholic high schools were playing, and some students began to chant, Trump, Trump, and build a wall. They were chanting at the rival team which was mostly Hispanic. There was a similar incident in Iowa not long before that – also a high school basketball game, also involving a team made up of minority players.”
"People have rewarded Trump for these types of inflammatory comments and, as a result, the public are beginning to believe this type of behavior is acceptable. It’s clear that Trump’s talking points inspired the events that took place at Andrean High School in Indiana. We know there’s a correlation because the students at that game were carrying pictures of Donald Trump in order to mock and intimidate Latino athletes."
===========================
Thanks to Sports PoliticusUSA for this report.
Imho, With the events that have been happening lately with Trump having to cancel his gatherings and now this report on Latinos, it is clear that Trump is not for Latinos nor does he want their vote in November. Therefore, they should cheerfully give it to Hillary Clinton who does believe in and pull for Latinos and will continue to do so from the White House.
