Actually, I'm a white dude quoting white dudes on Mexican American history, and their work was actually original.
And @HistoryBrian is a good historian in his own right with a book on civil rights in Texas that has since sold out in recent weeks.

Then read "Forgotten Dead: Mob Violence against Mexicans in the United States, 1848-1928." It'll open your eyes. It opened mine. https://www.amazon.com/Forgotten-Dead-Violence-Mexicans-1848-1928/dp/0195320352 …pic.twitter.com/F30cNcNS8x
Not good enough. How many Mexicans vs Blacks? You’re comparing apples v oranges. American Blacks are STILL a bottom caste in this country, even though we’ve been here longer than immigrants, bc this abuse was targeted to our communities.
@RussellContreras should actually read "Fighting their own battles". It's a great exploration of just how WHITE Mexicans were in Texas - in their own words. They were not on the side of civil rights. They were not minorities. They were complicit in the racism of the day.
