The Seminoles (and others) may have some disagreement with that statement.

The entire country is taking on the social qualities of the recreation yard at San Quentin thanks to our minority populations.

“Hispanics” didn’t even exist then. Spaniards discovered and settled Florida. Spaniards are...hang on to your hats...Europeans!!

Ahem:
I guess they would never post on their vehicles...
“I Love Being American!”
If they live here legally and documented - they are Americans.
If they want to stay Hispanic fine - but that appelation belongs to a varied national group -
Give it up with this making inconsequential noise and division among the people of the USA.
Our ancestors were all from other places and take up “who discovered this nation” with the Asians of long long ago!
To: Altura Ct.
Really,
Some of my ancestors would disagree. The Acuera, Aguacaleyquen, Amacapiras, Creeks, Muskogee, Pensacola, Seminole, Tawasa, and many, many others where there a millennia before the Spanish ‘discovered’ it.

The Florida legislature voted down and “I Believe” personal plate for Christians because they were afraid folks might be offended and it would link the state with religion.So if they ok this plate, I shall be offended. Spain discovered florida not “hispanics”

How about “The Indians Discovered Florida”?.............

Seminoles? Discovered Florida?..............
The Seminole nation came into existence in the 18th century and was composed of Native Americans from Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama, most significantly the Creek Nation, as well as African Americans who escaped from slavery in South Carolina and Georgia.

Exactly. Spanish are white europeans not hispanic. Seminoles and other indians are not hispanic. If the license tag said whites discovered fl it would be racism and unacceptable.

Danny Ramos, the group's president, said the tag's message is about cultural pride for Florida's 3.6 million Hispanics
They need to make one that says "Europeans Discovered Florida" too so the state's European American residents can share in that European cultural pride.

Correct. Native Americans have been there a long time.
Wonder if they can sue for civil rights violations?
To: keithtoo
The Seminoles (and others) may have some disagreement with that statement. "what you mean, you discover us ... we discover you, right here on beach!"
