One last thought about your statement.
You, like so many others here, have allowed actual racists to define racism as being racially-oriented.
People like Charlie Rangel, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Maxine Waters would jump on a soapbox and cry "racism" if anyone ever dared to create a Congressional White Caucus, and lead a filibuster by the Congressional Black Caucus in the halls of American Justice to denounce it. They have convinced you that anything related to racial or ethnic pride must be inherently racist...it isn't.
It isn't racist to be proud of your Hispanic heritage, or your Germanic heritage, or your Swedish heritage, or your black heritage.
It is racist to denigrate others based on their racial and/or ethnic identity.
It isn't racist to be proud of your black heritage, it is racist to believe that all white people are inherently evil.
Be proud of your ethnicity..whatever it happens to be.
You made some interesting points in your post #233. Thanks for sharing.
OK, so they rush around to find someone who can speak more English who can help me, and do it with an apologetic smile, and a couple of them told me they were talking English classes, and thanked me for teaching them the word "handkerchief," (one of those very foreign Germanic words); but that is a mere detail.
But it is racist to refer to "a race" the "the race" and start an ethnic political organization with "The Race" in its title. Is it not? And is that NOT the point?

Say what you will Luis, knowing you, if a group of White congressmen started a "White Caucus" you'd be waving around your race cards and crying racism along with the likes of Charlie Rangel, Sheila Jackson Lee, and Maxine Waters. It's just in your nature to say one thing and do another…whenever it is convenient.
why? I am evil....but you knew that Luis..lol...soy un diablito blanco u muy peligroso tambien.
