Ah fair enough then. A lot of Americans who don’t live around Latin communities have the same misconception. But yeah, they align pretty strongly with white conservative Christians in almost all areas, biggest difference is there’s better food around lol
If anything, I don’t get why people assume Latino communities are left leaning, other than defaulting to expectation that minority=dem votes. Latinos tend to be conservative af, many are religious, still have very traditional views like wives stay in the kitchen cooking and cleaning, bootstrap mentality, anti handouts, call poor people lazy, etc. Like it’s clear as day that Latino communities are right leaning if you spend any time around them.
Then you have the anti Castro Cuban population especially that always have the “I didn’t leave a communist country just to be part of another one” response whenever leftist social policies try to get implemented in Florida, and if something ever does pass, they go around all “this is Cuba all over again!” and scare the populace
Yeah lemme get a hit of what you’re smoking… I would argue modern games have a heavy over saturation of ridiculously colorful games. Look at the popular titles of like every major genre within the last few years and tell me that’s not the case.
Shooters- Fortnite, Valorant, Apex, The finals, Splatoon (cod being the only major shooter with a drab palette)
Car/Racing- Mario kart, Forza, rocket league, that one game everyone overlays on TikTok videos with the crazy winding tracks
Fighting- Street fighter, Tekken, MK, Smash, Guilty gear (all very colorful or at least significantly more colorful than the previous iterations)
Indies- Hades, hollow knight, cult of the lamb, pizza tower, stardew valley, undertale, subnautica, vampire survivors, ori
Pandemic hits everyone obsessed over, among us and fall guys.
Marvel snap is the biggest entry into the card game market, which has been dominated by none other than Hearthstone for a while now.
The only genre I can think of that doesn’t have an excess of color is rpg’s, with the new Zeldas, baldur’s gate 3, starfield, elden ring, last of us, etc being a bit neutral, (still not dull by any means) but even with that being said things like spider man, palworld, and cyberpunk exist.
Anyway, yeah this list got a lot longer than I planned but I think it illustrates my point.
I’m a run of the mill American citizen, 4 generations back my family has been American. No birth weirdness or dual citizenship or anything. Decided to live overseas after uni to broaden my horizons, and last time I came back home for the holidays I was grilled on my americanness by customs… They almost didn’t let me in because they thought I was suspicious, and my passport didn’t seem right. They even said “how can you be American if you’re a resident of (country)?” I think I got the same line as this article too, the whole no way to prove I’m American (despite my passport being in their hands). Theres a gatekeeping mentality that I suspect is rampant in all levels of government, and I just wonder how many good people who deserve to be here are barred from a normal life in the US because of it
