AOC is definitely not my hero... But if she wants to switch to Badia, who cares?

As a Hispanic probably twice your age (or close to it) I think I might be just a little bit more informed than you regarding the Latino community.  I have well over 50+ years living as and with a large family of Hispanic (not to mention Native American) members from 3 continents and several countries.  I think my life experience pretty much Trumps your so-called "expertise" on the ethnicity that you married into.

Latino or Hispanic people don't vote one way or the other "typically" based on their race.  Here's a news flash for you, we vote based on our values and principles just like anyone else.

Your prior statement is pretty bigoted and uninformed.  That's not surprising since there are a lot of leftist democrats like you that think that way.

I didn't say it was based on their race.
I said it was based on their reasons for coming to the US in the first place. Often people from the same country have similar reasons.  A big cataclysm like the Cuban revolution informs why many Cubans ended up here.  The Cubans who were comfortable with Castro stayed.  Some of the ones who didn't like him weren't able to leave, but everyone who left, left because of the revolution.  
Or the Guatemalan coup, similar story from the other side.
There are multiple races in both Guatemala and in Cuba, but their motivation for coming here had more to do with economics than race.
