    Linking Mixed Indios to Latium (the term Latin America in general)

    I once had a red neck tell he called them Latins because he was being nice, even though he knew real Latins come from Europe. I was like, Wow, that was nice of you to give them my heritage. Why not just call them Americans instead, they come from Americas right? ... He relayed I'm the real American.

    Well I suppose there are more modern equivalents of this example you could find but the premise of some German people hiding Jewish people (The term "Untermensch" (subhuman)was used sometimes to describe those persecuted by the Nazis ) in WW2 in Nazi Germany is a prime example. Technically they are traitors or breaking the law of the nation but they weren't traitors to human decency.

    There is certainly many other examples of such noble behaviour elsewhere in modern history in many nations.

    I can only think of bad intentions. Like voting for a Democrat.
