Somehow I think the Bush pedigree and vacations at Kennebunkport, not to mention a 100 million dollar net worth, saved these poor lads from a life of trauma.

Good grief...

Hell; George Romney, Mitt's dad could've claim Hispanic more than Jeb's kids since George was born and raised In Mexico. Too; he ran into anti Mexican prejudice when his family moved to the US way back when even tho on paper, George was kinda sorta "anglo".

What he probably leaves out is that it was white Cubans who taunted his son.
Great, another wanna-be president who thinks he needs to teach white Americans how to behave better. I've had quite enough of that.

I think it's so insincere when people claim to have been bullied and make it out to be some HUGE thing to get sympathy. Even wealthy, powerful, very entitled people use this tactic.
I have known a few who were in the popular crowd who never were(or atleast said they never were).

But this is also about scope, all bulling/teasing is not equal. Someone mentioning one time that someone has big ears is not the same as constantly being bullied because of the color of your skin or sexuality(perceived or not).

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'...
The Hispanic influence in his family has been so important in his life that he's wants the rest of us to experience it as well. Well I don't want to have anything to do with him or the Bush family. That family has been bad for America.

In other words he tossed off his own native culture for another and we should be thrilled for him? Why not be proud of who you actually are? I imagine his adopted Mexican culture has something to do with his views on illegal immigration also. I wouldn't vote for him if he were the only candidate running.

Mexico is a **** hole. That statement is true. For the cognitively deficient, it doesn't mean all Mexicans are bad. It means collectively, over a fairly large amount of time, they've created a **** hole. We, collectively, as a country, have nothing to learn from Mexico. If Jeb Bush thinks we do - he is as unqualified to be President as the current holder of that office.

European people not adapted to spices, yeah, tell that to my northern European brother-in-law from the Heartland that European people can't handle spices, nope none at all . Here's a clue for you, Stormfront doesn't represent real life.

I suppose you anti-science PC-types also deny there are genetic population differences in lactose and alcohol tolerances too? Lots of people of Europeans decent do not like their food always highly spiced and it irritates their digestive system.

What gets me is why so many people thing Hispanic and LatAm Mestizo are the same thing; they ain't.
Yeah, but who would want to be white anymore if they could possibly avoid it?
