Question to Americans; Does fast growing Hispanic population worry you? (Hispanics, stereotypes)

[ReturningWest]

Nope.

My family is a wonderful rainbow. I'm mixed blood American Indian, my brother's wife of 40 years is first gen. Mexican American and her two children by her first husband are 1/2 Apache that were toddlers when they met and married. I was raised in Portland, OR. that was a real melting pot even back in the 50's. Plenty of American Indians and Pacific Rim people.

But of course I don't consider myself 'white' either.

I always like to post this humorous political cartoon in these race threads:

Illegally? I don't think so!

There are MANY legal immigrants from Spanish speaking countries that are here legally. They even voted for Obama!

Miami? You mean like hearing mostly only Spanish being spoken when our national langauge is English? This is normal to you?

There is no national language. While English is the most spoken language, it's not official.


...And people are free to speak whatever language they want.

Immigrants can't vote. Only citizens can. However.....

I am a naturalized immigrant that can vote.

I wonder if it worried the Native Americans when it was clear that the white population was growing and the native population was shrinking.

I am sure it did. Do you want history repeating itself? More liberal? Oh joy!

There are lots of American expatriates in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua and a few other Spanish-speaking countries. As well, as others have pointed out, lots of Brits and other Europeans have weighed anchor in Spain.
