I get where you are coming from... I grew up friends with kids whose families have been here since their great great great great great Grandparents were awarded land grants by King (of Spain) Charles II or King Phillip V, etc., long before there was a USA.
But you gotta admit that folks like that, and like you, are now outnumbered thousands to one. So I also get where V_TWIN is coming from.
“outnumbered thousands to one.” You are incorrect-at least in this state and Florida. I know that when I was a kid, many/most other Hispanic people voted democrat-my family were outliers, as was I as an adult until about 1980, when things began to slowly change in Texas-now there are more WASP liberals/democrats than Hispanics who are. I live in a rural area that is ethnically mixed-about equal numbers of WASPS and Hispanics, a small number of Blacks and a few Asians. People-even business owners are vocal about their politics, and the only liberals/democrats appear to be the WASPs. Democrats haven’t been paying attention to what has been going on for a long time-some ethnic groups have stopped drinking the koolaid, and it is a good thing...
There is no reason, none at all to use the ethnicity of someone’s surname/family name a basis for suspecting dishonest or criminal activity, no matter where that name comes from-that is an ethnic slur that has no place here...
