Well it's a brave new world, Bruce can be Catlyn and a white NAACP leader can be black.

How long before a sharp 18 year old tries to buy booze by simply claiming to be 21 and sues for discrimination when denied?

Except he's not. Just because he married a Mexican doesn't make him Latino.

Yes lost his mind, manhood and race. I know someone married to a Hispanic. She feeds him over-spiced food that he as a European is not adapted for. Maybe she over spices everything on purpose. She's not very bright either. Everything is about her family and doing things her illogical way. I can tell Jeb is just her meal ticket and sucker. Jeb can sell out his own heritage, but he's never getting my vote to sell out my heritage.

What he probably leaves out is that it was white Cubans who taunted his son.

Jeb Bush is not Hispanic, even if he somehow said so on an old voter registration form.

I am mixed, and I don't have to be accepted by ANYBODY but my families and friends.

Well, being bullied? Fight back. Respect is EARNED, not demanded. Crying solves nothing.

Nothing wrong with incorporating you spouse's ethnicity/culture along with your own in a marriage but where I draw the line is when one marries a Hispanic and it makes them disregard our immigration laws for them by advocating for amnesty. I have seen it happen time and time again. It is particularly troubling when a politician like Bush vying for the presidency does it.

Also, why shed or turn your back on your own ethnicity/culture for your spouse's? Brainwashing, anyone?

If you were born AND raised in LatAm; you COULD claim "Hispanic" and no 1 could say boo tho la raza would whine.

No. He did not say that he was Hispanic. He did say his children were "Hispanic 'in many respects'". He did say his wife is proud of her Mexican citizenship. He did say the "the Hispanic influence in my family is something very important in my life".

BTW, the English translation of the article presented online isn't correct: "Speaking in Spanish, Bush said: "We are very Hispanic," He did NOT say this in the video interview.

His Spanish is very good. He needs work on his adverbs, his present subjunctive mood and use of subjunctive with indirect commands and reflexive pronouns.

I am NOT a supporter, but one has to be VERY careful with translations...just sayin'...
