OK, Chief.
This description of Indios is over the top, and some clarification is
need.
Generally speaking, a "white Hispanic" is someone descended from the
European (Spanish and Portuguese) invaders and colonizers. The
"Indios," also called "Amerindians," are the indigenous people who
preceded the invaders. There is sometimes a third category, the
Mestizos, who are the descendants of intermarriage between the two
other groups. A "mulato" is a pajorative term referring to someone
with mixed white and black ancestry.
Since the 1500s, the generational crisis wars in Latin America have
been mostly civil wars fought between indigenous people and European
invaders or their descendants. That would explain why you have such
strong negative feelings directed at the Indios. The most famous of
these crisis wars was the Great Bolvarian Revoution, where the Simón
Bolívar led the indigenous people to independence from Spain.
So the question that's relevant to the current discussion is the
difference in political views among these groups. The hypothesis
seems to be that the European descendants tend to be Republican, while
the indigenous descendants tend to be Democrat. Then the next
question would be how the the millions of illegal immigrants coming
across the open order are split between the two groups.
I discussed some of these issues in article over two years ago:
