This is true, I agree... college graduates, one way or another tend to make the opportunity of higher education available to their children. That's why getting children of minority community non-college parents into higher education is critically important, it breaks the cycle. Same applies to non-minority communities as well.

I've never had any remotely similar issues with black Americans...in terms of being questioned about who I am. Of course, there is always the "are you Mexican?" when I explain my background (well if I lived 160 years ago). But no "you must be a fraud" from any other group.

Exactly!

I figure that would probably be the same as with any other culture, no? American-born Mexicans and Dominicans certainly are considered "gringo" or "americanito" when they visit their countries of origin, right?

An appropriate response to your post, which was bizarre to say the least.

It would only be bizarre if one was of the group I mentioned or one of their many enablers.

But like I stated earlier, that discussion might be better suited in another thread.

It's not a discussion, since I still have no idea what you're talking about. Stormfrontspeak, possibly?
