The black community isn't uniform, the Latino/a community does view itself as a distinct, nonwhite, entity, the vast majority of U.S. Latinos have heavy nonwhite roots (whether Indigenous or African) and this all has zero to do with "politicians" or "voting blocs".

The American "black" community, not people from Africa or the Caribbean today have a unified history in America due to slavery.
Latinos aka Hispanics do not have a unified history or ethnicity, Hispanic is literally a political term that was invented and applied to all Spanish speaking subject in the new world.
How many Hispanics do you know crawford? Do you think Mexicans and Venezuelans and Argentinians identify with each other? They dont, but Black Americans in Georgia and Chicago certain can and do.
There are Mexicans who call themselves English, or Irish (and look the part) just like People in the Usa and Canada with primarily European Decent.
There are also Mexicans that Literally are Mayan's ethnically or the Cross Border native American Community of Tonoho' O'dham
Another example where you shine in your confidant ignorance of most things.
