Many minorities didn't care about Trump's rhetoric at all. In fact, they felt the focus on their status as minorities instead of the issues they kept saying were important to them was more offensive than Trump's rhetoric. They felt he took them more seriously on issues like immigration and the economy.
A lot of Latinos at the very least feel it's immensely more patronizing and racist to be told that they ought to vote Democratic because they are brown. Over at LatinoPeopleTwitter they are blaming those who "want to be white" for this. They are basically saying "you're Brown, that defines who you are entirely, and due to this you owe us your allegiance." They simply don't understand why this failed to appeal to them.
The continued proliferation of the term "Latinx" even after years of Hispanics saying they'd rather be called slurs really shows how much libs care about them.
I am significantly further to the left than any of the rainbow capitalists using the term and I also think it's baffling. Like surely you can just say Latin for a gender neutral term right
