The funny thing is, I don't really see Latinos in over their heads due to DEI. They seem content to seek their level, do a competent job, and go home for the day.

I think all of this is very true but I think Amanda Palmer & Neil Gaiman cultivated their parasocial fanbase before the algorithm took over so much of social life.
