for the most part (more indigenously-based hispanics have different stories).

but generally, many are first & second generation immigrants. they have retained their national heritage, not to mention their language, foods, rituals, etc.

they don't come here & "blend in", many of them. they come in and turn where they are into "little havana" or what have you. they bring their culture WITH them. not have it beaten out of them.

however, if you look deeper, you'll note the effects colonialism has had on them as well.

black people are the polar opposite. we generally only have what's been imposed on us since we got here. and that culture was pathological to start with.

other reasons:

harsher laws/sentencing and inequal enforcement of said laws putting more blk men in prison

the mental health crisis of the blk community (which in turn leads to addiction, homelessness, etc.)

poverty is a MAJOR issue because it leads to
unfit housing (lead paint, etc.)
malnutrition
addiction/neglect/abuse (who are you gonna take your pain out on?)


the list goes on.

this is ALL about cycles.

do y'all talk to your parents/grandparents?? according to mine, there were triflin folks back then, messin up their kids, just like now. we've been in pain for GENERATIONS.

this shit ain't new. it's just that we have more access to the wider culture in the post-jim crow era. and statistics.
