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. - Oscar Wilde
