Most of the Venezuelan immigrants are very much in the elite - most who had money to flee Venezuela did so while the country is imploding. And Florida, and the Miami-Dade area in particular, has always been the province of wealthy Latinos, especially Venezuelans.But most Latino immigration movements are not the elite. I think it is important to realize that the lobbyists for this particular group--while having a strong voice in politics--are not a majority.
Finally, of course Latinos can be as just as racist as anyone else. In fact, it is still culturally acceptable to disparage POC in many South American countries.
So yeah, there is no monolithic Latino community any more so that there is a monolithic Asian community or any other community. The DNC needs to wake up and hone its message to the many different constituencies whose support they need if they want to win elections.
