That wasn’t true when I was in, about 10-14% of all the senior officers and senior chiefs were latino.
I wonder if they are just limiting this to mexico and central america or something like that.
This is what I was taught, I learned this since middle school:
https://www.nas.org/articles/Ask_a_Scholar_What_is_the_True_Definition_of_Latino
“The word latino is a Spanish word that has entered the English language. In Spanish, it means someone belonging to the people of ancient Latium, in Italy, whose language was Latin; so the Romans of course were latinos. Another and related meaning of latino in Spanish refers to someone who belongs to the cultures of the Romance Languages, that is, those peoples whose language, and to a varying extent, whose culture, too, derive from the language and civilization of Rome, which was latin.”
Because we don’t trust you...that’s why.
I’d do with a living version of Augosto Pinochet or Francisco Franco, thank you very much! ;)
So what.
Is mexico woried there arent enough whites making it into the upper ranks of their armed forces?
I am so tired of quota nazis.
You’re more likely to get “Pancho Villa” or “Che Guevara”.
I heard that cro-magnon man is also under-represented in this group.
“...We just need to get more of our people in...”
Gee, how racist of him...
“....one Asian-American/Hispanic woman....”
Wow. A three-fer. I’m surprised Obama didn’t make her Queen of the Pentagon or some such.
Strange. In the Corps we always had a lot of folks with Latino surnames in leadership positions.
Latinos...you mean like Romans?
Since so many are illegal or know and live with illegals, no surprise. Doubt most could pass security clearance.
“I wonder if they are just limiting this to mexico and central america or something like that.”
I can tell you this from my work experience. An African black with a PhD or a British black with an engineering degree does not count as black. At least judging from the body language of our EEOC evaluator. Likewise, this black woman who came to evaluate my company was not impressed that we had a Russian and numerous Asians. She was looking for blacks she identified with. (I don’t know how the evaluation worked out as far as our government contractual requirements. I was asked to show her around my department and introduce her to our minority workers.)
Are they counting white-hispanics?
I remember a Hispanic Senior Drill Sergeant that said some nasty things about my girlfriend and some guy named Jody.
Thought you said you didn’t need no “Steenking Badges”
Bolivian hockey players are under-represented, too. Where does it end?!?!?!?!
How many “retain” dual nationality status and are still loyal to a foreign power?
January 1969 I had a Mexican-American drill sgt. and a black 1st sgt.
