it’s always so funny learning about the Great Depression in grade school cuz they don’t ever talk about how latinx and Hispanic people were lowkey deported to Mexico even if they weren’t Mexican and how the depression was literally twice as worse for black people who were the first fired and last hired. like educators always report these tragedies by how they impacted whites UNLESS you are in a class like AA studies or something.

what the fuck I didn’t know this and I’m Latina

yeah basically the government was like “hey we can give you this one way trip to Mexico :)” and the population of Hispanic and latinx people dropped pretty sharply over that time. and after when people tried to come back they couldn’t

i never knew the first part until literally right now but if anyone wants to learn some more here’s an ebook on the subject 

and regarding your tag! yeah when this topic is talked about it’s usually referred to as “mexican” because that was the group specifically being targeted but you know how the united states government tends to group all tan-dark skinned hispanic and latinx people as “mexican” so if you “looked mexican” there was a chance for deportation even if you were mexican american or not mexican at all.
