I’m telling you

I’m f*cking scared

Panicky even

They’ve been doing this to Black people for centuries

And now they’re beginning with Latino Studies.

Arizona is f*cking Ground Zero and we have to fight the persecution of Latino/Hispanic people.

Oh they didn’t just start with Latinos/Hispanic people

For years upon years in the South West, they literally outlawed spanish speaking children from speaking it in schools. My own Spanish teacher admitted she didn’t learn until college because she was punished by teachers in school for doing so.

She and others she knew had to seek out even the bare mentions of Chicano/Latino history and even then could scarce do academic papers and research because of a lack of resources or Professors who said what they did wouldn’t add to any field/lacked validity/bullshit.
