Press 1 for English: When Latinos Cosign Hate

Today I react to a TikTok video that’s been going viral — a so-called "American patriot" ranting about having to "press 1 for English" and claiming Trump will "deport everyone" so that finally ends. What shocked me wasn’t the ignorance — we’ve seen that before — but the supportive comments coming from Hispanic users.

Why are some in our own community cosigning anti-immigrant hate?

In this episode, I break it all down:

• How language, identity, and nationalism get twisted together

• Why some Latinos support Trump-style immigration policies

• The dangers of internalized racism and "model minority" thinking

• And why this fight is bigger than just one ignorant TikTok

This isn’t just about politics — it’s about who we are, who we stand with, and what kind of future we’re shaping.
