You want to see hispanic. Here's a Tejano from Houston.
He won't be coming back to trouble you though, he died in Fallujah this week. I don't know if he was white or not white, but I do know that he was an American, a Texan, and a Marine, all of which are far more important to me than some arbitrary classification of "race".

sobering post... when I enlisted in the air force, my recruiter asked me what I wanted to put down as my ethnicity. I asked him why, and he said just in case you get killed and we have to identify you. Sheesh. Does it really matter at that point. If it doesn't matter when I die, why should it matter now????

"Hispanic" is a modern word with too aggregate a meaning following more or less political correctness.
Well, now, in spite of your presumptions, I care if a man is 1) in this country legally 2) he works and produces 3) he speaks English and 4) he is willing to immerse himself in America swear allegiance to it. I do have a problem with making citizens of the births of illegal immigrant mothers.
I too was in the Marines, and I too was in armed conflict and, I too was injured, so you can take your insinuations, make a obelisk, and sit on it.
El Gato. Are you in this country legally? Where is your allegiance?
