We should raze Latin America and start over. It would make a nice, warm retirement destination for Americans.
When you meet sane latinos even they will tell you the problem with their culture is that they don't take care of each other. Full stop. That's it. The same kind of 'alone against the world' and 'me and my struggle' nonsense that keeps the blacks down. So you have Dads who don't want to pay support for their kids but want to see them all the time and get treated like macho-man heros. Moms who think going to da club is more important than raising their kids. People who can't work as a team and cause insane cholo/a drama in the workplace.
Their culture IS dysfunction. Dysfunction is their culture. And that's why they need to fucking go. Especially since the restraining force of religion is waning. Any stable latinos you meet are Catholic or Mormon and were likely raised by a tough grandma-grandpa duo. The next generation won't know what married parents/grandparents or the inside of a church/temple looks like. Ask yourself what are we in for then?
