    My friend is of Thai ancestry - when she’s entered the US they just assume she’s Mexican. There was even a case in Texas of a South Indian man being harassed for “being Mexican”… your stance is incredibly reasonable.

      They also attack native people with the same racist accusations, it’s disguising, and it’s been this way a long time. The number of people I’ve calmly explained to about not being a Mexican national or Mexica ancestry while also being entirely Mestizo, and Hispanic from Latin America while they continue to tell racial slurs is depressing.
