“. . . Currently, the bogus white-race change has placed me in an atypical, uncertain, dangerous and unpredictable predicament, [if] I’m forced to being celled with a white inmate, who is inconspicuously a xenophobe, bigot or has personal addictions, hang-ups, who cowardly hates Hispanics/Latinos.”
This site keeps throwing up 403s for me, and I’m not turning off my VPN for anybody. Any mirrors to this piece?
use any free https proxy you can find, that works for me. you’re just reading so it should be safe. i can still keep the vpn on and browse these websites that block vpn IPs.
Thanks, y’all!
changed his Hispanic/Latino race classification to “white.”
I think the federal government decided that Hispanic/Latino is an ethnicity rather than a race in 1977, and since then there are officially two ethnicities in the US: “Hispanic or Latino” and “Not Hispanic or Latino”.
However, it looks like the PA DOC is (or at least was recently) still treating race and ethnicity as the same thing: https://dashboard.cor.pa.gov/us-pa/narratives/racial-disparities/1
Prison segregation policies vary widely by state and are often by gang-affiliation rather than race and/or ethnicity. If PA prisons were “housing” Hispanic/Latino prisoners separately and suddenly stopped, it seems like there would be more news about it… but I haven’t found any besides the link in this post.
