Raoul Lowery Contreras has written a clearly detailed and documented response to misguided, if not racist, depictions of Mexicans, Mexican laborers, in particular, and Latinos in general. The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, the former Chairman of the Harvard Political Science Department, Dr. Samuel Huntington, and Professor Emeritus Victor Davis Hanson have laid bare critiques of Mexican immigrants as being the most substantial political and cultural challenge to America. The latter two wrote scurrilous and intellectually fatuous books and articles that scream racism from the highest levels of academia. Both challenge Mexicans for being unwilling to “assimilate,” and attack them with scurrilous claims that they refuse to speak English, vilify the Roman Catholic Church and Catholics, and declare that Mexicans are uneducable, even though Hispanic school drop-outs have plunged in numbers and college matriculation has skyrocketed to the point that Hispanics have displaced non-Hispanic Whites in the percentage enrolling in college.
