Uddrag
Talking about the receiver is another interesting subject to look into. As mentioned earlier, this article contains a lot of opinion, and Héctor Tobar could by some even be viewed as an opinionist.

Therefore it is easy to determine who would support his statements and who absolutely would not. Clearly, Latinos would support him, as he is stating an understanding relating to the Latin American culture and the inhabitants' beliefs.

Tobar himself is also related to the region which just amplifies the effect. It might also be a source of support for Latino immigrants. Latinos in America could therefore very possibly be part of the main receiver group.
