At the end of the day America is a white country whatever way you put it. There are 200 million + white people there, your culture is foreign and completely different, its so daft to think that an ordinary American can differentiate the Lationo groups. What do you think this is?
( I'll probably get eaten for saying that but I bet most are thinking the same as me but are too scared to say it. )
Cities aren't as racially segregated here as in the US.
Also, I couldn't tell the difference between Latino populations but I wouldn't presume they were Mexican. I might ask 'what' they are if I was curious but I wouldn't care really so much.
Yeah but at least you ask and don't assume. That on its own makes all the difference.
And there's also people who seem to be willingly ignorant, those are the ones that bother me the most.
I guess it's easier for other Latinos to tell the difference, I can tell the difference between a Colombian and a Venezuelan, a Cuban and a Puerto Rican, etc. From the accent they have to their physical appearance.

And anyway who cares!?
Do you forget that I live in Miami? If you came to where I live with the mentality that America is a "White country", you will be shocked and appalled to say the least.

Those two words are important to highlight. Doesn't 50% plus of Leeds' black population live in Chapeltown and the with the majority of S. Asians in Harehills?

Why on earth would I be appalled!? I seen the hispanics in Orlando! I seriously don't care. I get that America has massive minorities but it is still a white country when it comes to it, it was built on those principles.

But they chose to go there. They didn't integrate themselves.

Most Americans who've been around hispanics, which would be most younger whites in much of California and South Florida among others. It's fairly easy to distinguish Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans apart. Though can't be 100% sure. I guess these people in Boston were Dominican... Apparently you believe the white American population is completely unaware of those around them.

Not all of America is the same, and plus the fact that America is a "white country" is no excuse for ignorance. Why is that so hard for you to understand?
Plus, Native Americans were here way before Europeans. America was "built" on the principles of freedom ad tolerance of religion, not on "white" principles.
Another thing, the culture in Miami is way different from Orlando. In Orlando, I actually feel like I'm in the U.S.
