IHe keeps saying that. I want the receipts. I'm sure Latino history has been buried, but until I see an actual source, I'm just going to assume he's making shit up.
The thing is Latino is an ethnic group that includes people from lots of races and backgrounds. Lots in the U.S. have Latin history, so saying something like "We are the most awarded" could be true just from a numbers standpoint. The problem is people like Leguizamo will try and pit Latins against Blacks as if they are two distinct groups when in reality, the two groups overlap.
The bold should be very easy to see but many still struggle with the idea that latino isn't one group of people from one country.
