"The withdrawal is the latest tangible effect of recent court rulings that experts say make it difficult for coalitions to bring claims on behalf of groups of historically marginalized voters."
"...43% of White citizens who were age eligible to vote in all three elections did so; just 24% did not vote in any of these.
Black, Hispanic and Asian adults lagged far behind, with 27% of Black, 19% of Hispanic and 21% of Asian age-eligible citizens voting in all three elections. Hispanic citizens were most likely to have not voted in any of the most recent three general elections."

Annoyance: Someone on zucksite posted a meme saying that all Hispanic/Latino people in the Americas and elsewhere should stop using the terms "Hispanic" and "Latino" and use #Native or #NativeAmerican instead.
I'm 100% down with this if Hispanic/Latino people make it clear that's what they want (or even if one person does). People's identities are almost totally up to them, IMO; I'll almost certainly call you what you want to be called. It's a pretty complex issue, though -- e.g., Mexico I think had the highest rate of mestizaje in the century or so after the conquests began, and it varies widely among other regions/nations; there have been a large number of Native pride and Native identity movements in the past 500 years throughout the Americas, and many Mexicans, at least, identify more strongly with their "European soul" (referencing Octavio Paz, there). Racism in Mexico is often tied to Native identity, language, and appearance, as well. This is not an issue I have a stake in except in wanting to support anyone who does. I'll look to the people with those identities and respect them.
Separate issue about the meme itself: It starts out saying "Hispanic means From #Spain, so..."
I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean that. The usage and definition I've seen of Hispanic is more like "having significant heritage connected to the Spanish (and Portuguese) conquests in the Americas." I've met one or two Spanish people who did not identify as Hispanic, for example (and others who did).
If the descendants of the conquests in the Americas choose to stop identifying as #Hispanic or #Latino, great. I'll support that 100%. However, I get annoyed when people try to push a narrative using a false premise.

[Representative] Al Green continued a long standing [US] tradition: Black People taking the brunt of the heat for standing up for what’s right, while everyone else benefits and forgets who brought [those benefits] to them.
