We know that white supremacy exists in the U.S., in the book fluid borders we talked about the discomformity between the Montebello and the East Los Angeles communities and why the rivalries between the two. one of things that the author failed to write about that i think is very important is the skin color. the reason why i believe that this is very important to adress even when speaking about Mexican American Vs Mexican Immigrants is because many times white supremacy exists also within the latino communities. in the book, bedolla only concentrates on nationality and erases the color "issue" maybe most of montebello residents were of lighter skin color than those recent immigrants or those from East LA and that could have been one of the separations between them. all im saying is that that could have easily been a factor separating the two communities but we dont know because the book did not address this.
here is a site of white supremacy in Latin America, in one of the comments it even said, (hay demasiados negros en Argentina)it translates to (there are too many blacks in Argentina). i dont know, just something to think about, and this is why maybe the way of thinking becomes more of a way of feeling that light skin latin americans have more of an advantage because of their skin color disregarding the nationality in the montebello and east LA areas.
