Maybe if you had put a bit of effort toward getting an education (the my taxes provided for FREE), it would be your kids' reality. It IS my kids' reality!!!

So, your'e saying that if only those latino kids studied harder, they could be white?

Oops! Missed that part. I was refering to the Corvettes and skiing.

But actually...My wife is Puerto Rican. She died her hair blonde once (didn't keep it that way!)...no one really knows that she is "latino." She speaks perfect English with no accent and passes for "white" until she tells people otherwise.

I've got 42 of these little critters in my offices overhead storage. I pick one up every time I visit a really good, local Mexican restaurant. My favorite is the hispanic "Homie" who is wearing a graduation robe and mortarboard and holding up a white scroll that says "Diploma." I like to joke that that particular "Homie" is a one-of-a-kind, original. ;)

I think we already have Non-white Hispanics.

How about: Non-white, but thinking about changing it, Hispanics?
