I know of some places where that would not happen, like Denver, all of New Mexico, Arizona and California.
I have a hispanic brother in-law and he has a high up job and started at the bottom. (i have many many other hispanics in my family too-- all are doing very well)
There are so many companies in the states I named that have government officials that are hispanic and thousands own their own companies...
in fact...
my son was rarely called to work because he is white(the owner liked my son and is white-- but-- the foreman that calls the workers is hispanic)-- they only want hispanics to work there(that's what the workers told my son)..... my son had to go find a different job.
I knew this women, as her son was in school with mine and her older daughter was graduating and she was given 8 forms to fill out for financial aide-- she started to read them and then she said-- "but I'm not hispanic, I'm greek"... so the counselor took all but 2 of the forms away... needless to say...
she didn't get financial aide for college.
My sister with her hispanic husband-- they both make A LOT of money.... they filled out the forms for financial aide for hispanics and they got half of their two kids' college paid for-- they make more than twice what me and my husband make and our white kids got -- zip for college.
so-- I think, if you can, you should move to the west-- it's a different world.
best to you
