Much like your previous images, I feel as though this one does a lot of work to discuss and visualize the historical formations behind categories such as "Latinx." In situating this image in reference to you the police report, particularly the ways in which anti-Blackness and anti-Mexicanness get expressed, I wonder about the intersections between the two? In what ways is anti-Blackness embedded into Mexican history? What does this mean for afro-Mexican's? How are the histories of afro-Mexicans erased in both Mexican and US contexts. How does such racist histories then get further silenced in the homogeniziation of the "Latino" category. In some ways, the toxicity may amount from our own hegemonic conceptions of race/class/gender. 

I wonder what other way we could have visualized this? Or in what other ways can we visualize the category Latino as a remnant of toxic history? I would have been interesting to possibly include an image of the census itself.

This image on its own portrays a happy demeanor and seems to give the viewer something to smile about. Knowing the theme of toxic subjects magnifies the curiosity of what the accompanying text will say. The text does an amazing job of providing the viewer something to ponder while providing background and facts on current issues.
