Did anyone see the CNN Special, Latino in America? The episode had a segment on a group of white teens in Shenandoah PA who beat an illegal Mexican worker to death. The trial acquitted the teens for hate crimes and homicide. They only got a couple of years in jail. Anyway, the CNN episode portrayed Latino and Anglo tensions as being high in that part of the country. That part of PA is small-town, conservative and blue-collar. First, are the tensions really as bad as they say? Secondly, is tension like this as prevalent in other parts of the country? Obviously, it may be more strained in Arizona (Sheriff Joe's Country) than in New Mexico. But are relations really as strained as portrayed on CNN? Third, is there much tension in areas between the Anglos and the Latinos where the demographics are reversed? Such as Brownsville TX or Miami FL? I am just trying to put into perspective whatever tensions may exist between the two communities and what the future will be like for the relationship as Latinos become more numerous.

I didn't see that but White people are the victims of Latino crime in far greater numbers than vice-versa. Was that show another example of anti-White racist propaganda?

I think anyone in America that lives in a large metro area can see that Latinos comprise a large number of violent inmates, which means their youth and young men can really be hateful.....

In LA, the friction is between Latinos and Blacks, because Latinos are moving into South Central and Watts. Please don't tell me that that TV show deliberately avoided this, to focus on "Anglos"!! What a joke.

Check your statistics in city data.com, in every city where there is a hispanic dominance, the crime rates are much lower than where hispanics are not the mayority, for example; el paso, san antonio, NYC, Miami etc... get your facts together......

You may start another thread on THAT subject. This ain't about that. Do you detest what happened? No?

I detest all crime, whether it's committed by Latinos, Blacks or Whites.

I also detest anti-White racist propaganda on the idiot box, known as the television. Do you detest anti-White racist TV programming like CNN's "special"?

Then stick to the topic at hand.

That is not the topic at hand. Create a new thread instead of trolling in someone else's. I will surely participate.

Did I read that right?
A young PERSON was beat to death and the ones who did the beating only got a few years in prison?
Notice I said person. Not Latino, or whatever.
Does anyone or any living being need to be beat to death???

News reporting is now inciting fear and hatred? Are you saying this incident never happened/should never be discussed on its own?
