enlisted people are about 42 percent nonwhite, largely African American and Hispanic.

Hispanic is not a race, anymore than Irish or German or Kenyan is a race.

I get a kick out of hispanics are a minority. Didn’t they from a Eurpoean Country called “SPAIN”””””””””””””””””??????????

"Hispanic is not a race, anymore than Irish or German or Kenyan is a race."

I work closely with Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and others of Latin American ancestry.

For the most part, they have been thoroughly brainwashed by the popular culture into thinking that they belong to "La Raza."

With a few rare exceptions they have precious little understanding of their Spanish Heritage, or their roots in Western Europe.
