Also people point and laugh at white guy toxic masculinity but Hispanic males seem to be constantly maxing out their masculinity and mask wearing doesn't really fit into that, at least around here.

Hispanic males definitely have an issue with masculinity.
My friend was unfortunate enough to be in the middle a chicken bus duel in Guatemala - where two drivers were being hyper-aggressive with each other - flooring it up hills, passing blind, bluffing like they were going to run each other off the road - never mind all the passengers on each bus.
Hispanic family life though imo is such a huge positive for them in any context other than covid. Living in LA for 21 years - I've always been envious of how tight their extended families seem to be.
However I think it might be largely a Catholic thing. My Irish-Catholic grandmother was the exact same way. Her dream was for there to be another depression and her 7 kids would all have to move back into one big house with her. When I was studying Spanish I realized there were so many similarities with Irish Catholics - first son goes to the seminary, first daughter is namd Mary Theresa, every kid has a nickname they go by instead of their real names.
