If you vote for Wall Street democrats, you are still voting republican, they just hide behind a different label.

Refresh my memory when the GOP was actively courting Hispanics. I certainly don't remember it. Hispanics have always overwhelmingly voted Democrat.

What race are Hispanics if not White?

Most Hispanics in our country are of mixed race and they are called Mestizos. They aren't just white they are usually a mix of Spanish and Amerindian.

That isn't a race. Spanish however is European.

Native Americans themselves are an interesting mixture of white (ancient north Eurasian) and East Asian genes.

There's a very good book for anyone interested in what recent DNA/gene analysis says about where we ALL come from.

Not light reading, though.
