Long overlooked by historians, anti-Hispanic activity by the Klan
was savage and brutal, yet in areas of the Southwest where
Hispanics constituted a majority, or held political sway, they were
successful in countering the Klan's racial and cultural bigotry.
Historians typically addressed Klan activity against Hispanics in
passing, covering the subject in a paragraph to a page. This work
demonstrates anti-Hispanic activity by the Klan was extensive. The
Klan vented its racial bigotry against Hispanics much as it did
against African Americans. Through the use of race, religion, and
language, the Klan deemed Hispanics as inferior, foreigners, and
minions of the pope. As non-White products of race mixing,
Hispanics were inferior; as non-English speakers they were
foreigners, members of a priest ridden, and inferior culture.
Hispanics were part of the unfounded Catholic Conspiracy attempting
to subvert U.S. institutions and install the pope as leader of the
nation. These factors were justifications that led the Klan to vent
its hatred, racism, bigotry, and violence against Hispanics.
Furthermore, collusion between civil authorities, law enforcement
agencies, and the Klan ensured Hispanics were kept marginalized.
This collusion and the secretive nature of the Klan also assured
that documentation verifying anti-Hispanic activity would be next
to nonexistent.
