The Children of the Swastika

It's only diversity and inclusion when it serves the Demo-Left.

Wait, What About Diversity, Karen? LA Mayor Bass Laments Hispanics Signing Up to Work for Border Patrol

So Hispanics are supposed to care more about other Hispanics than about their adopted country?

Newsflash Karen; there is NO SUCH THING as a "Hispanic"; it's a generic title to encapsulate all people from many different backgrounds and countries that are often quite different but who were raised speaking Spanish as a first language. A person from Argentina has almost noting in common with a Honduran except language. I guess she doesn't know that.

From Red State:

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass gave further proof of that Friday when she expressed sadness that Hispanics were lining up to get high-quality, well-paying jobs that will help keep America safer. How dare they join the U.S. Border Patrol, she fumed to — of course — the leftist propaganda outfit known as CNN:

Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass expressed disappointment and concern Friday with Hispanics joining Border Patrol – arguing they’re only doing it for the paycheck.

"Well, in a way, I think it’s sad,” Bass said of a CNN report on Border Patrol’s new recruits, many of which are Hispanic.

"I think that those Border Patrol agents are going to have a difficult time when they’re out in the field and they see what actually happens in real life separate from their training,” the mayor told "The Situation Room” host Wolf Blitzer.

That last may be true in some instances and we would be wise to learn from the Romans, who attempted to guard their borders with Germans who let other Germans just stroll into the empire (it was a good thing to live inside the empire).

But that was then and one suspects many Hispanics are more loyal to the nation they adopted than the old Germanic barbarians, who were only going to Rome to, well, do what many illegal aliens seek to do, which is to harvest all the goodies thereof but not join the Anglo nation as true Americans. I would point out many Germanic Romans feared and loathed the barbarians coming in as much as second or third generation Americans of Hispanic descent feel about the invading aliens. They did things the right way and these people simply want to take that which they have not earned at our (and the Hispanic Americans) expense.

Fully HALF of all border patrol agents are of Hispanic origin.

What is so amazing is that Bass understands none of this and lumps them all together as she would African Americans, who themselves were not one people but so lost their ethnic identity during the slavery era that most do not even know they are descended from vastly different peoples - many of whom hated each-other in the old country. African Americans share a common heritage, by and large (though not all; many came here after slavery ended) and so form a single people with common subculture. But "Hispanics" do nothing of the sort. They are ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse to the point of having no binding allegiance to the uber group except language and perhaps a hatred for Anglos, whom some see as imperialists and oppressors (forgetting their own Spanish heritage of course). The idea of the Reconquista is real among many of them.

So is a more collectivist view of economics. Many want it because in the Old Country they didn't have free markets but rather a semi-feudal order and so many Hispanics believe in Socialism as the just foundation of an economic order. And yet they still come here to harvest the fruits of the free market. Go figure.

At any rate Bass has no idea of that which she speaks and can't understand why "Hispanics" should "turn against their class"; they have no class (nor does she, but that is a different meaning of the word). They are as diverse a people as any European; An Englishman has little in common with a Russian, for instance. The division in Latin America is even more stark than that.

So these folks volunteering for ICE are not "Hispanics" but AMERICANS who happen to have ancestors from Latin America or who came here legally and wanted to be American. Bass it utterly clueless.

If a Conservative made this kind of broad-brush stroke on a collection of ethnic groups the Left would have his hide for supper. But when a Leftist does it (and they do such things all the time) it's "compassion" or "justice". How is it compassionate or just to treat different peoples as one, ignoring their unique social heritages? The Left themselves would call that racism.

But we've always known the Left is horribly racist and that they are the children of the Swastika, not the right wing in America.
