Good point.
I would also say that forming coalitions may depend on the part of the country. For instance, it may be relatively easy in the Northeast (because Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are most often Afro-Latino) and California (out here, Mexicans/Chicanos and blacks have been able to coexist with some exceptions), but very difficult in Florida (because most Cubans are Republican thanks to resentment of Castro and there have been flareups over Haitian immigration).
