There is a concerted effort today to cover up the white-racist history of Mexicans in Texas. Don't let them forget. A new wave of Latinx "woke" academic revisionists are trying to bury this all under the rug and rewrite American history.

The biggest irony in the whole history of race and identity politics in the United States is that people who speak Spanish are considered to be minorities today (the LARGEST minority group at that). In the 50s and 60s, they were white! And they were saying that they were white.
There wasn't a notion of a "hispanic" minority group in the civil rights era. None of these stories that people are telling today are true!
The fact that Mexicans were white is actually a large part of Texas history that people are trying to erase today. It's denialism. Pretending that they were minorities in the 50s, is an attempt to fundamentally rewrite Texas history.
