If less than 13% of Latinos are undocumented, to say Latino = undocumented is not an accurate perception of reality.
And the part that I characterized as being "upsetting as fuck" is the false premise that most US Latinos are tourists or immigrants not eligible for a bank account rather than the reality which is that most US Latinos are US citizens that do not need this fucking application to do banking whatsoever or their unintelligent founders with savior complex that do not even know the difference between a Latino and someone ineligible for a bank account.
It invalidates the fact Latinos have been here for a long time and formed families and participate of society in a law abiding way, and now in a few words from this guy they're all back to being tourists and illegals that can't even open a bank account. Fuck! You guys know how to make someone upset.
Go to Puerto Rico, California, Florida or Texas and socialize a little bit before making such uninformed claims.

I understand your point. But I think this could have been an unintended lost-in-translation kind of mistake?
The U.S English definition of 'Latino' is different from the Latin American Spanish meaning of 'Latino/Latinoamericano'.
Maybe they meant to say "Latinos en Estados Unidos", and translated it as "US Latinos" instead of "Latin Americans in the US".
I think the relevant consideration is not the number of latinos that are undocumented, but the number of undocumented that are latino.
I work at a company that helps US employers provide H2-A visas and benefits to undocumented immigrants, including banking services, so I'm not totally uninformed here.
