Racism has gotten so bad that even other Latinos are terrified of speaking Spanish with me

One of them even joked that I might be an ICE agent. I felt so bad for the both of us. After a lot of bad experiences with local white people in October, I started concluding that it was a result of racism even if I was pale and they didn't know I was Hispanic, but then forgot about it. Now, I actually feel oppressed because I can't freely speak my parents' native language without scaring even other people who speak it themselves.

If I speak Spanish in Canada, there's no ICE to round me up and disappear me into a dungeon or anything. If I speak Spanish in Brazil, locals will get extremely annoyed, but at least be comfortable if I switch to Portuguese. If I speak Spanish in Argentina or Chile, I will be seen as a foreigner with an exotic accent, but still accepted by everyone. 

The last time the United States cracked down like this on an entire ethnicity, it was over 100 years ago and succeeded in almost completely wiping out German, with Pennsylvania Dutch being the sole exception. But back then, it was just a xenophobia campaign. There wasn't a secret police ready to round up people just for being German.

I'm not afraid of being arrested by ICE, but not only is the fallout affecting me, but I also don't see anything to gain even from fighting back. Everybody who gets charged for something anti-ICE is not going to be pardoned or have their record expunged, even if a Democrat comes back into office. In fact, Obama and Biden both had plenty of time and opportunity to scale back or even abolish ICE and they actually expanded their powers because they didn't think Trump was going to win. The activists here are nowhere near organized or powerful enough to fight back like they should. 

The only people left around me that I really want to be friends with here in Oregon are Hispanic. I do not want to live as American so isolated, even in one of the best states in the country.
