I know lots of Mexicans that have kids named Jesus and I kinow they pronounce it "Hey Sues" but it is still spelled Jesus. I have never known a white kid named Jesus. If a white kid were named Jesus, would it be pronounced "Hey Sues" or "Gees Us"? Do you know a white- or even a black- kid named Jesus?
Yes, I have encountered a few Black people named Jesus - and they pronounced it "Hey-Zeus" if I remember correctly. I also believe they were Cuban/Afro-Caribbean, which would explain the Spanish pronunciation. Why are you asking? Just sheer curiosity?

How about this: The "white kid" would pronounce it however he or his parents wanted to pronounce it.
Just as an aside: I think a lot of Latinos consider themselves to be "white".
I can't say I've ever met a white kid named "Jesus"....you got me there. Very few "Angels" or "Rodrigos", either. Come to think of it, I've never met a Jewish kid named "Bubbah", either, nor a Chinese kid named "Billy Joe"....hmmmm. Of course, they may be OUT there..it's just that I haven't met them.
knock, knock, who's there. mexicans? the white race. ain't you ever filled out a government form? Moderator cut: rude
