I' m on the east coast, in fact, if I go any more east I'll flop into the Atlantic. We have plenty of Hispanic people in the east. Like any other group, some are irredeemable trash but most of are simply people trying to make their way in the world. It's hard to take issue with that.
Story time- one of the best diners I've ever been in was an authentic Mexican joint right in my childhood town. Owned by a family from Mexico City who made the best stuff I ever had. We were both bummed when they suddenly had to close.
