      Because he was ‘in the way’ of them deporting other Mexicans for not assimilating enough fast enough.

      How do you know they’re Mexicans ?

      They are Spanish names they could be Venezuelan or Brazillian.

      They consider themselves to be European and a cut above the native American population in Mexico.

      Two Americans with Mexican sounding names killed an American.

      Are you sure you don’t work for ICE?

                Not really, I was thinking the exact same thing when I heard the name. These ICE agents are exactly the ones that would be accused of being an illegal Mexican immigrant under the current way ICE is functioning, and it feels ironic that they’re the ones killing other Americans for ICE’s sake.

                  If you’re first thought on hearing a Mexican sounding name is that they can’t be American you would probably make a good ICE employee.

                  It doesn’t matter if it’s hypocritical of them, it’s still racism on your behalf.

              It’s ok that I’m racist to this person, because I don’t like them!

              So ironic, so progressive.

                If my suggestion was correct, tell my how you think the other guy is racist when he doesn’t think they are actually Mexican?

                  What.

                  Lmao. What do they teach in schools these days… I don’t think that your suggestion is correct. The person called them Mexicans because they had Latino names.

                    Yeah, so if that’s your argument against the likelihood of my explanation being true, that would make perfect sense. What I don’t understand is why people are so quick to accuse me of being racist as if I’m claiming them to be Mexican? All I see are people not wanting to understand what point I’m making and jumping to conclusions.
