    Your read being that a bunch of Hispanic people put a Hispanic person in jail because he is Hispanic? Ok.

      If you’re naive enough to think that racist and systemic racism is not or cannot be perpetrated by groups of people on their own people, well, I have some history books you should read.

        Of course racism and systemic racism are alive and well. And yes, people can be racist against their own people. These factors are pervasive and can’t fully be separated from the situation.

        That doesn’t mean that this was racially motivated. You seem to want to point to racism as the motivation for the principal and cops to do this. It’s only motivation in the sense that systemic racism underlies everything and is always there.
