Asians? Not minorities.
Jews? Not minorities.
Cuban immigrants? Not minorities.
Blacks? You bet! Ask any Leftist -- blacks will live in crime and poverty for generation after generation with no hope of ever improving their lot in life unless guilty White Liberals jump in and help.
Mexicans? You bet! Ask any Leftist -- Mexicans will live in crime and poverty for generation after generation with no hope of ever improving their lot in life unless guilty White Liberals jump in and help.
To be a "minority" is to be a problem that needs fixing by "the good people".
Uppity conservatives.
If I didn’t know their names and family background, I would just think they were white guys. They are white guys.
Caucazoid, Negroid, Mongoloid.
Three races.
White, black, asian in today’s parlance.
Many today are a mix, so it’s a pointless pursuit.
Space aliens from a very cold planet, making them space alien eskimos ...
Nobody on the left will ever doubt Bill Richardson’s latino chops.
When I married into Mr. Mercat’s family 45 plus years ago I was introduced to my sister in law’s then father in law who made it very clear (keep in mind that I speak very little Spanish) that he was not Peruvian or even Spanish but he was Castilian. He spoke Castilian, he was pure blood etc etc. I didn’t care at all but it was very important to him.
You really nailed it here. Race and ethnicity doesn’t mean anything anymore. If you don’t like free ride freeloaders who are dependent on the taxpayers subsidizing them through government agencies, you are a “rasis”.
Nothing wrong with that, and I bet you got along good with them.
I ask because much of U.S. punditry (on both left and right) don't seem to regard the Cuban-American Republican presidential candidates as either "white" or "Hispanic."Neither did you Humberto
Certainly not with his English sure name. He does look Hispanic though.
Eskimo’s rassist now. Alien too, probably.
He is, of course, correct. I remember as a teenager on family vacation in Monterrey, Mexico, being surprised to see actual Spaniards who were plainly european. Being raised in the southwest, the image of Mexican we had was really Mexican Indian. It’s still a common expectation.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
I fall under the I don’t care if they are conservative category.
So Fulgencio Batista, not Jorge Zimmerman, was the first “white Hispanic”?
Not really. He and his son were bigots. I haven’t met a lot of them but he was one.
Well-off Cubans held Batista's mixed-race ancestry against him.
