But that's not what it means today. Today it means just that you had some ancestor that came from a Latin American nation. George P. Bush is a hispanic. Mitt Romney's father was born in a Latin American nation and has the exact same qualifications to be a hispanic as George P. Bush. Same qualifications that Obama has to call himself a Black American also.

Hispanics can be blue-eyed blonds that speak fluent English, families in the USA for generations and still qualify for affirmative action. They can be as pasty white as white can be and wealthy as sin but still consider themselves a disadvantaged "minority".

It's not a "anti hispanic" its a fact that Hispanics have low voter regsitration, low voter turn out at elections. The Hispanic Gap - Reid Wilson - NationalJournal.com. When all else fails play the race card, is that what they teach you at liberal indoctrination camp?

I'm from New Jersey. I live in a heavily Indian neighborhood and town. Believe you me - Indians are intensely disliked in this state. Why? That is up to debate, but the fact is they are not beloved here.

They don't demand that we learn their 100+ Indian languages and dialects and you don't see them having 9 or 10 babies and laying around in welfare offices.

So it's not skin color, you need to guess again.
You are one clueless individual. On that I do not need to guess.
