Compared to some of you here, YES. That makes me the EXPERT.

Funny. If we're basing it off of that, you don't know what my academic background is to make such statements. For the record, I went to a private school with a specialization in Latin American studies as well, and also speak Spanish. I'm not sure what makes you so much more of an expert than me...

Yet you're still so vague about it. I was open and honest about my background.

Did you graduate from this school? What was your degree in?

Thought it was all one sided but some like to party with her.
Course, maybe they were all drunk and couldn't see straight.
They aren't the brightest bunch. So I could understand their confusion.

None of your beeswax. I went to well known private school that wasn't Cornell. Let's put it this way. Most of my courses were taught in Spanish and focused on everything from Spain to Latin America before the Spanish arrived in the Americas to the current conditions. If I don't know what I'm talking about then there's a big problem.

Many Puerto Ricans and other Latin Americans look as white as many North Americans. I don't know what the big mystery is. There was European colonization in North America, South America, and the Caribbean.

Colonization in South America in the Caribbean wasn't the same. The English believed in the one drop system. The Spanish did not, which means that you have people who may "look" white but are far more mixed than you would think. That isn't to say that the English didn't mix because they certainly did, but you were either black or white and if you have a smallest amount of black in you, you were considered black, case closed. In Latin America people who either look mixed or are mixed will often choose white.

You clearly know a lot more than Shosanarose, I’ll grant you that.

I'm not that ignorant to jump to conclusions based on how people look.

Yeah. They don't need alcohol as an excuse.
