Well what then would explain their longer average lifespan than white non-Hispanics?

My son's Grandfather in law emigrated from Mexico and is now 97 years old and still in decent health. He told me he had an Aunt in Spain that lived to 114.

Middle aged white males are driving the numbers down too...especially since they lead the nation in suicides.

But we’re supposed to ignore that.

Are we supposed to ignore that?

I think it clearly goes to show that the ruling billionaire class of this country dont care at all about race and "white supremacy" as some people claim, but is purely interested in grabbing as much of the national wealth as possible at the expense of ordinary Americans of all colors. "White privilege" is just part of the distraction they push through their mainstream media mouthpieces they own.

40 years of "trickle down" and Wall Street grovelling has been an utter disaster for the working class of this country and its just getting started. The all-out attack on labor unions and salt of the earth Americans is continuing with full force under Trump and the Wall Street democrats.

And you all know there are tons of leftists who are glad to see this.
Oh you mean the “leftists” who just gave the big corporations a huge tax cut and the same leftists who constantly threaten to eliminate Obamacare and Medicaid?

2014 STUDY

Hispanic Americans 82.89
White Americans 79.12
Black Americans 75.2

2019 - TEXAS LIFE EXPECTANCY STUDY

Hispanic Women 83.9
Hispanic Men 78.28

White Women 80.6
White Men 75.6

Black Women 78.0
Black Men 72.4

From the data it's clear Hispanic Americans are out living White & Black Americans. Data also reflects the group with the highest life expectancy in the US is Asian Americans at 86.67
Hispanic is not a race and if it were, it would be mostly white.

So do I.

I don't smoke, I don't drink, I'm not overweight, and I have good diet.

Most of the people in my family, on both sides, who took decent care of themselves, lived to be from late 80s to 104.

I specifically mentioned the last 40 years. Trump has not been in charge for 40 years, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Trump is simply continuing the disastrous trickle down policies we've been accustomed to.
