I'm curious which of these points downvoters are disagreeing with. I say this as someone with family members who look very much "Mexican" to most Americans. I don't like Trump's talk at all, but how would anyone with illegal immigrant parents would have comfortable family gatherings after supporting Trump? Job or not, family is strong. Is this just an example of herd HN behavior?

The last one - 5. There is no such thing as reverse racism.

  So your point is that, it is impossible for a Latina to be racist, because, by definition, minorities can't be racist?

  You're not wrong. It's just plain old racism.

Point 1: substitute "bigot" for "racist". There's a common but foolish (or self-serving) argument that X can't be racist, because Y isn't a race. A contributing factor is that many people say/write "racist" when they mean "bigot". The point is that bigotry is no better than racism, so the reader/listener should just substitute the words and see whether the argument still makes sense rather than offering a vacuous counter-argument. EDIT> French isn't a race, but if I want to round up French people and put them in camps, I'm still a shit-bag.
