Jews, Irishman, Poles, Germans, - all lumped together as WHITE. So a company must hire quotas of blacks, and hispanics - but not one job is required to go to any other specific ethnic group considered white. How did the country become so protectionist toward hispanics - legal or otherwise?
Hispanic is not a protected class.

Besides, the Champion States in using Food Stamps are the Bible Belt States. There are very few Latins and very large amounts of Whites.

I was discriminated against by a hospital for a doctor's position simply because I had no medical degree and did not know a damn thing about medicine.

This is incorrect. The government doesn't force companies to have hiring quotas based on race or country of origin or any other protected class.

Where did you get this false information?

Protected Class doesn't mean that companies must fill quotas. Protected Class means that they cannot discriminate against someone based on race, country of origin, age(over 40), religion, familial status and several other items. For that matter, every race is protected because hiring decisions aren't supposed to be made due to race. Period. If someone was refused for a job specifically because they were white then this is illegal the same if someone is refused for a job specifically because they were black the same as if someone is refused for a job because they are catholic or muslim or buddhist or specifically because they were 45 years old and deemed too old.

North America and South America are America splited by Geopolitical reasons. They were discovered at the same time by Colombus and the Spanish Explorers, and named together as AMERICA.
