    I dunno… I grew up in southern Arizona, and getting pulled over for Driving While Brown has kind of always been a thing. Latinos have always been harassed by cops, going all the way back to the Zoot Suit Riots and Marijuana prohibition and long before. This country has never been nice to Latinos. Though it does seem to be getting much worse.

      I grew up in the LA suburbs in the 60s and 70s. I lived in a barrio. My neighbors were constantly getting harassed by the police.
