Exposure isn't always a good thing. "The Latino Vote" being an actually thing already is a negative. The Democrats need to build better policy and stop using these groups as pawns.
Chicken or egg kind of thing.

First point, most negative stereotypes are bull####. Parroting, echochambers, and fear of the other perpetuate them.

Second point, I think the Republicans are just as guilty of driving minority groups to the Democrats as the Democrats are of taking advantage of the scenario. I do agree however that the Democrats don't go far enough left to truly help the demographics they claim to care about.
