So your neighbors don't like illegals,
and that one friend who doesn't like indians.

Im sorry, I only said one source, but you actually have two.

So all Mexicans and Native Americans are against each other?

Whatever, Bear. Facts according to AZBear.

I just wonder, because whenever I see them protesting, its always mostly white people with 1, 2, or 3 Mexican-Americans. Maybe 1 or 2 Black people. A Few more Black people when theyre protesting in South Central or something. But those protests are always heavily counter protested.

We have to remember that Latin America is just as mixed and matched like the U.S.

Please explain that to Sammy Sosa; the baseball player from the Dominican Republic. The man is Black and Hispanic.

Alberto Fujimori; the former president of Peru is of 100% Japanese heritage and a Latino as well.

And; of course, most Latinos here in the USA are Mestizo (White/Indian) lineage.

I don't see how "hispanic" really can be an ethnic term. That implies that all the so-called hispanics have the same ethnicty and culture and history when in reality they come from different countries, with different histories and culture.

How is a Dominican any more the same ethnicity as a Chilean or Costa Rican when we consider Polish and German to be different ethnicities? Ethnicities tend to be even further broken down than nationalities -- Spain for example has various ethnicties like the Castilians, Basques and so on. Many countries have a number of large ethnic groups -- yet when it comes to "hispanics", it changes so they are all one big huge ethnicity. In reality even a country like Mexico has people of many varied ethnicities.

Caucasians are not all lily white. According to the old criteria, people in India, the Middle East, Eastern and Southern Europe were Caucasian. To me many hispanics look "whiter" than many Middle Easterners except of course the ones who look Negro or Oriental.

Race is a pretty silly concept when you really look at it, because it's only at the far out edges that race really can be defined. Once you start looking where the lines are blurred you cannot define where one race end and the other begins.

umm, what? why would someone who's primarily black like Sammy Sosa be called a caucazoid, or someone who's predominantly Amerindian like George Lopez be caucasoid?
