Perhaps I'm just cheerleading and I am wrong in thinking others an earn it too.
African-Americans have been suppressed forever and it's wrong. But I haven't heard Trump say disparaging things about them unless I'm mistaken.

North America was historically difficult to get into. When Canada and the U.S. opened their doors to Asians and other Europeans, they were very selective. They picked people that were either willing to be the bottom wrung (indentured labour) or those that had means (money or skills).
We don't really need to explain how most African Americans came to North America. Their plight is well known. Having said that, African immigrants tend to fair better as well for the same reasons mentioned above.
With Latinos, it was very easy for them to enter and the process wasn't selective. Therefore, you pretty much got representation from all segments of society, including those negative side effects of poverty.
