I'm unaware of any Hispanics making fun of the disaster, or at
least no more so than any non Hispanic group. The one group
who I have noticed as behaving in an inappropriate manner
on this issue would be a minority of young ghetto blacks who
are South Central, or at least LA, natives. There are A FEW 
young blacks who seem to feel like this was not their tragedy
and not aimed at them. These individuals in question are
products of the ghetto and the ghetto mentality, and seem to
be all native Californians, hence the mentality " it wasn't
aimed at me ". If these kids had family on the east coast
they would see the error of their ways, fast. 
They certainly are a small minority of the total Afro-American
population, as well as a minority of the population of those
areas. The culprit seems to be poor education which gives
these kids a sense of being disconnected, reinforced by
identity politics championing this lack of connections,
( and related aspects - Farrakhan's pseudo-Islamic cult
and countless hate mongering gangster rappers ) , the
isolation and ghettoization that are particularly virulent in
Los Angeles, and, probably most importantly, the individuals
themselves, for accepting all these conditions and behaving
badly. 
This segment is certainly a minority of black America, black
California, black LA, or even South Central and assorted
pockets elsewhere, but it seems to be the only exception
to the mourning and nationwide/world wide coming together.
( Aside from the LAPD who are conducting business as usual
in their usual cowardly way rather than reorienting priorities
for the national emergency )
Hispanic Americans as a whole are just as affected by this
as non Hispanic Americans. As for immigrants, remember
that terrorism is no stranger to Latin America, although
it does seem to have mysteriously decreased in recent years.
( In the 60s and 70s Latin America was equal to the Middle
East in terms of the scourge of terrorism, I;m not sure why it
has plummeted so rapidly. Perhaps the reason why could
offer a way out of the current crisis )
Latin Americans have far more of an understanding of this
sort of thing than USAmericans. While this scale is certainly
unprecedented, terrorism of some sort has plagued virtually
every nation in Latin America in the last 40 years ( perhaps
excepting only Costa Rica ) . Latin America is solidly behind
the US on this one. This was not just an attack on the US,
this was an attack on western civilization. The only elements
in Latin America who would celebrate are elements like the
Sendero Luminoso and EPR, which represent a small minority
of the populations. 
Clearly this tragedy shows all the Latin-haters in these NGS to
be complete morons with their heads in the sand as well as
clearly part of the problem. The enemy consists of racists,
extremists and fundamentalists in all nations, not just Ben
Ladin and the Talibanes but everyone who shares the 
taliban mentality, and the Taliban mentality seems to be
very rooted in America. During this time of national 
emergency, all identity politics and all hatred of ethnic
groups/races needs to stop. Those who persist play
into the enemy's hands.


Fanatics of some doctrine or teacher excuse 
themselves from their own guilt behaving as
if they were judges, always trying 
to believe that they need to legitimize them-
selves. - Nietzsche

Any preoccupation with ideas of right or wrong in
conduct shows an arrested intellectual development.
