Hispanics: The Democrats may have put themselves in a bind

"Democrats," they write, "must consider the possibility that Hispanics will turn out to be the Italians of the 21st century - family oriented, religious, patriotic, striving to succeed in their adopted country and supportive of public policies that expand economic opportunity without dictating results." They note that ultimately, "Italians became Republicans. Democrats must rethink their approach if they hope to retain majority support among Hispanics."

They also use the case of Hispanic voters to make a larger point. "The phrase 'people of color' assembles highly diverse groups under a single banner. The belief that they will march together depends on assumptions that are questionable at best."

So essentially what happened was that when Italians started being considered "White", they acted just as stupidly as the rest of the white people who vote against their own economic interests.

Now, it might be that Hispanics and Asians might be considered "white enough", but hopefully, they'll be smart enough to realize the racists have no real concern for them.
