Toyota is the top brand among Hispanic buyers in the U.S., according to vehicle registration data gathered by R.L. Polk and Associates. The automaker says it has held that title since 2004.


Seems like they are doing something right. With that said, nothing is stopping white people, if they choose and feel 'neglected', to put a sticker on their cars saying "White Pride". Also, it is possible to be Hispanic and white.

I do know that, though apparently most Mestizos do not lest they would not refer to themselves as Iberian or Latin.

I am aware of all this -- none of it is relevant to this thread, and I think you know that.

And, reading most of the responses in this thread has me digging around for my Idiocracy DVD...

You realize that you are talking about a Japanese company right?
That company decided to expand to the english speaking market sometime back.
Why are they in the wrong for now deciding to expand to the spanish speaking market?
Keep in mind that they are not a company that was founded in a country thats native tongue is english.
What exactly is your argument here? Any how is it logical?

I'm torn at how to react. Maybe I'll put a Confederate battle flag on my Lexus.

Somehow they have managed to survive without you and become the largest producer of automobiles in the world while bringing in billions of dollars in revenue.
