Just scrolled the first 100 posts with the hashtag #ICE.
A couple mentioned "immigrants." Some mentioned "brown people".
No mention of #Latinos. Even during the LA protests, in a Latino-majority city, no one can bring themselves to say it.

But when it was time to blame Latinos for a small uptick in support for Trump, no one had a problem saying Latinos.
We deserve better. We deserve to be acknowledged.
