Well, I thought 'hispanics' were white... stupid me... When did 'hispanic' become a race? How is someone from Spain racially different than someone from Portugal or France?

I happened to see a box of Wheaties the other day. It had a picture of Roberto Clemente on the front, with the words "First Hispanic inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame." I always thought that Roberto was Black. Silly me!

They're not, but that IS a separate race... known scientifically as Yellow Spined Pacifists. Some have settled in this country too, mostly on the east and wests coasts.

I guess 'hispanic' is more politically correct than 'mullato'. Here in Thailand, I am so happy I don't have to put up with this crap. I have run into a few uber-liberals from the US here and it is a lot of fun to see how angry they get when put into an extremely un-PC environment.
