We can't have a topic discussing it without you turning it into a smear campaign against conservatives? No one has said it was their business it is just a discussion of the facts.
Why? Because the people being responded to are the ones seem always to claim to be "conservative" and also ones who consistently, day after day, post comments a reasonably intelligent person will recognize as being prompted by what seems to be racial/ethnic prejudice. It's a valid/fair reference. Discussion of "facts" isn't what's taking place here ... at least not in commentary offered by self-described "conservatives," from what I'm reading. A true conservative wouldn't want to meddle so much in the personal life of millions of people ... suggesting they change their names, behave differently, etc. To do so is anti-American.

No, the OP made the claim. And you are arguing alongside the OP.
And I know your eyes may be fading a bit, but I hope if you can read what I'm typing right now, you can read what I'm about to type, and have already typed. Good luck and godspeed. I know reading is difficult.
I'm telling you my situation and mine only. For others it may be different.
Okay, if you made it this far (which I'm not entirely sure you will), congratulations first of all. You've exceeded my expectations. I'll repeat the same sentiment though: I'm not claiming more hispanics give Anglo names than Spanish names. I don't know, but neither do you. I only stated what my experience has been.
If you made it this far, wow. It must have been quite the marathon.
The OP; me the Packard fan, tried to quote "Tom Lennox 70"; most of my post was copied from the Lennox poster. Sheesh!
It doesn't matter. Spain ONLY owned New Spain, Florida and a few other parts of what is NOW the US in 2013.
