TikTok trolls asking Caribbean Latinos if they are Mexican, "Island Mexicans", purposefully mixing up flags and nationalities. Have others seen this?

On TikTok, so many faceless and anonymous troll and bot accounts say and ask some of the most craziest things they would never ask or say to people in real life.

Some of the most egregious examples I've seen over the years:

  • A troll asking a Dominican host with the flag clearly in both his profile and on his wall, "Are you Brazilian or Cuban, did you swim to Miami?"
  • A troll asking a Barbadian host, also with flag clearly in her profile next to the Statue of Liberty", "Oh nice. Which Jamaican country is your flag?"...then later, "Is Rihanna your inspiration and hero?"
  • In a live where a Puerto Rican host is discussing her ancestry results, a troll remarking, "Oh my God. 15% indigenous, you're practically a full blooded Mexican."
  • Later that day in a live about the suppression of Taino identity in Cuba by the Castro regime, that same troll remarking "I always knew Cubans were some type of Caribbean flavor of Mexican"
  • In a live discussion about the ICE raids in New York, a troll just kept repeating "I want to call ICE on Flatbush and Washington Heights while eating griot and mangu". When a Puerto Rican replied "Go back to Europe YT", the troll started to repeat, "Repeal the Jones Act! No more automatic citizenship for PR!"
  • In a Haitian live about 2 Nigerian in Haiti posing as Haitian nationals, a troll remarking, "Haitians are 1% Taino and 2% French, they look absolutely nothing like West Africans"

Has anyone else seen or witnessed this kind of crazy and unhinged behavior by trolls on TikTok?
