Nearly a week after the election, I've read a lot of articles and tweets comparing Trump to European racists. Never to our neighbors, tho.

The United States is part of the Americas. But most media (and probably most people) don't think about it in that way. You should.

Who is Mauricio Macri? What country is currently leading? How did he get there? Who is more of a blatant hateful racist: Macri or Trump?

There's a gigantic country you may have heard of called Brazil. Who is the president there now? How did he get there? Also: what is a coup?

Speaking of coups, where is Paraguay? Who is the president there? Why? Also: no, Paraguay is not Uruguay; please learn to read a map.

Who is Kuczynski? How did he beat the daughter of a killer dictator? And was that a good thing? Is he just as scary or nah?

And then there's Peña Nieto. Is he just magically good because he's Mexican? Or did he steal and election have blood on his hands? *shrugs*

If newsrooms hired and listened to people who descend from/understand Latin America, we might understand Trump as part of broader wave.

Instead, we get newsrooms that are more likely to identify with France than Mexico. This is also part of the problem.
