Hate is a strong word, and it's a bit more nuanced than that. There is an internalized hostility that comes from the colonial era, where the way to climb the social ladder was by taking actions to seem more white. Like changing your name, converting, marrying a whiter* person, etc. These changes often explicitly implied rejecting whatever you were before. Anything indigenous was deemed as less than and less worthy than European stuff and therefore bad and to be abandoned.

And this is where this Hispanic on Hispanic hostility comes from. There is this idea that it is "better" to be on the side of privilege and those below are seen as a threat I.e. (the whites might notice you are not that white if they see you hanging out with those more connected to their roots).

This distinction is important because it comes not from blind-hate but from intergenerational trauma, as a defense mechanism.

A lot of modern day Latinos discovered what ttheir ancestors discovered a long time ago: They don't see all the colors you see. The only see non-white.

Bit what they "want" is a dictatorship with their colors.

Of course. They don't want to fix things, they just want to be the ones getting the benefits.

Kinda hard when only 55% of people disapprove of your king.

I mean to be fair they did nuke the US and fucked up the system for ever, so it does kind of work to force change.

Too bad change was to facism though.
