Latino Intellectuals Write Letter Condemning Trump's 'Hate Speech'

Latino Intellectuals Write Letter Condemning Trump's 'Hate Speech'

Sixty-seven Latino intellectuals, artists, scientists, writers and filmmakers from the United States, Latin America and Spain signed a joint statement denouncing the comments about immigrants and Mexico made by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The group of Hispanics, many of which are immigrants in the United States, stated that "Trump's hate speech appeals to xenophobia, sexism and political intolerance; it recalls historical campaigns against other ethnic groups that led to millions of deaths."

Among the signers of the statement: Arturo Álvarez-Buylla, Roger Bartra, Jorge Castañeda, Jennifer Clement, Junot Díaz, Jorge Edwards, Julio Frenk, Francisco Goldman, Diego Luna, Antonio Muñoz Molina, Silvia Pedraza, and Mario Vargas Llosa. The full statement was released by Enrique Krauze and Carmelo Mesa-Lago.
