Many African-Americans claim Celia, who, after all is AFRO-CUBAN and was proud of it! Even the well-intentioned yokel who wrote this article fails to comprehend that what are grouped by the the "Booboisie" and the civil rights pimps as "Latinos" are a racially and culturally diverse lot. Don't get me started on the idiots here in NYC who refer to Afro-Dominicans as "Spanish."

This guy makes some good points, but sounds like another whiner to me for the most part. Besides, Frankie S was half-Sicillian, making him an "African" in the eyes of many northern Italians anyway.

I LOVE the games we play with race and ethnicity in this country, don't you? :-)

Wow, C., you're one tough customer. Glad I never had to wait on your party!

There you go again, making snide remarks about Sicilians!

You're the only one playing games around here.
