Abstract Our national conversations about racism appear oblivious to the fact that Latinos can be racists. Afro-Latinos and African Americans suffer from discrimination at the hands of some Latinos who claim that their racially mixed cultures immunize them from charges of racism. Hernández demonstrates that US racism is complex and multifaceted, and it is possible for a racial/ethnic group to experience discrimination while simultaneously being discriminatory. -- adapted from jacket
