Do you want to have what we're calling immigrants?
We're calling, you know, the
Mexicans rapists and murderers.
We're calling Somalis disgusting and animals.
We're calling Chinese people who just basically bring us pandemics every... And this is an old story with Chinese.
This goes back 100 years.
That rhetoric isn't a rhetoric of inclusion or cohesiveness.
It's their rhetorics of exclusion, us, them.
And it makes for a society that's incredibly divided with people who feel that they're being targets of people in power.
And I think that's where, when I talk about the negative political rhetoric on the psychology of Latinos, it's much bigger than Latinos because people who have this rhetoric don't just, Latinos or Mexicans particularly have been a convenient scapegoat for a hundred and something years.
They aren't afraid to go out and attack other people.
And so they should be reading the Latino threat narrative when I'm writing about, understand why they feel so bad.
What are they going to do with this target?
Originally, when I did this study, I wanted to do it with larger numbers of people in different groups.
But, you know, you don't get the money to do all that.
And I was really more important at this point for the Latino threat narrative.
But, you know, the idea, I really wanted to do a study that would include people like Somalis, like Chinese, like African-Americans.
I mean, because they get their own rhetoric that's targeting them as well.
And so I would assume that basically a lot of
similar kind of negative responses would be there for them as well.
