I called Eleanor Norton's office yesterday (5/19) to tell them as a man of color (Italian = Latin = if Hispanic is color, so then should be Italian), I am utterly outraged by her incomplete, yada, yada, yada. I felt better.

(Italian = Latin = if Hispanic is color, so then should be Italian)

I often tell my girlfriend, who is from El Salvador, that I am a true Latin because my family is from Italy. Of course the reason being Italian isn't considered a "minority" status is because they emigrated to America en masse to America just a little too soon. If Italians came here in the 1960's, we'd be card-carrying minorities with all of the benefits. I guess we missed the gravy train.
