It's funny because they keep lumping Latine people into this big ball like they don't grasp that Latin America isn't a monolith

A Columbian isn't the same as an Argentinian isn't the same as a Dominican

The social stratum of these countries is just a complex and varied as any other nation

But nope, "y'all speak Spanish, so y'all the same"
