The majority of non-white people are Latinos and Asians. The discourse has recently pitted whites versus non-whites.
Over the last few years, I’ve seen media outlets and academic institutions amplify the most aggrieved (and frankly weird) Asians as part of the general “people of color” discourse. Hence my comment above.

>”For what it’s worth, Pew says that roughly half of Latinos have reported experiences of discrimination.”
It’s likely the half that votes left and is told on a daily basis they are being discriminated against.
For what it's worth, Pew says that roughly half of Latinos have reported experiences of discrimination. But that's not the point. The most polarizing political slogan of the last several years wasn't "Latino lives matter". In the airless vacuum of a message board, I guess it makes a sort of sense to appeal to the experience of Asians and Latinos as summative of the experience of non-white people in general. But obviously, that's not how the world actually works.
