    mfw the US government can perform secret assassinations and kidnapping on foreign soil with high precision, but can’t for the love of god distinguish between Latin Americans and Native Americans.

      Partially because most Latin Americans have indigenous roots, not that there aren’t white Mexicans or what have you. Since they are often victimized disproportionately in their home countries, many central and south Americans who migrate have indigenous backgrounds. So in a sense, it’s twice as bad as you’d think at first glance.
