America’s future...
Product of a public school, no doubt.
Does this mean that New Mexico can now have White-only scholarships and universities? After all, thansk to the Libtards, we all know that Minorities DESERVE special considerations, not only in schools and opportunties for education, but in getting jobs too.
I suppose that the “Hispanic community” will now forfeit claims of “minority” status and all the perks that go with it?
Does that mean that when a white person of European ethnicity fills out an application to the University of New Mexico, he or she can apply as a minority applicant? Also, how can Hispanic people apply as an ethnic minority if they are, in fact, an ethnic majority? I ask in all seriesness.
And what percentage of said “majority” is legal ?
Ping!
It has always seemed to me like there are really three very distinct groups in New Mexico, aside from the native Americans: the Anglos, the Hispanics whose families have been there since the 17th or 18th centuries and then all the newcomer Mexicans, legal and illegal who recently have flooded in and swamped the place. There is a huge difference in attitude between the last two groups.
Surprising, the governor of NM, is a CONSERVATIVE female Hispanic. I thought they didn’t exist (according to the left).
Look on the bright side, when is the last time you heard of a Latino Muslim?
I think the ratio where I’m at is 85/15, Hispanics to Anglos. I could care less about the ethnic/racial ratios, but the leftnut to conservative ratio worries me. Figure that 75 to 85 percent of the Hispanic vote will go for leftnuts, although I think Governor Martinez got around 49 percent. How that would translate out to national elections is anyone’s guess.
The entire United States of America has been "Anglo-minority" since waaaaaaay before 1887 when the pages below were published in "The Irish Race in America". (Click to enlarge.)
Back in the 1800's, an "Anglo" meant somebody with an "Anglo-Saxon" bloodline (the Normans shall not be mentioned) that traced his ancestry back to Merry Olde England. Not even the Scotch-Irish qualified for membership in the Anglo-Saxon Club.
Back then, "Anglo-Saxon" certainly did not mean somebody with parents named Fred Kowalski, Joseph Kennedy, Vincent Lombardi, Robert Stephanopoulos, Abraham Goldberg, David Eisenhower, Elliot Roosevelt, Ralph Olsen, Robert Prudhomme, John Sousa or Jorge Farragut.
It is safe to say that neither New Mexico nor any other state west of the Mississippi River was ever "Anglo-majority".
America is not an Anglo-Saxon bloodline. It is an idea. The potential problems with America's future will not be the passing of the "Anglo" bloodline into minority status (that occured looooong ago) but the carrying on of traditional American ideals by the increased number of "non-Anglos".
If American ideals are carried on by the "non-Anglos", the number of pseudo-Anglos will magically increase just as it did when America discovered, in the early 20th Century, that no amount of denial could hide the fact that the United States was no longer an "Anglo-majority" country:
"Your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather and your great-great-grandfather were all O'Reillys. But, since you speak English and since we are running short of, ..... well, ..... you know, ..... real Anglo-Saxons, ..... we decided to drastically lower our standards. (Jeez, and we thought we had hit rock-bottom when we decide to include the Germans. Now we are down to the Irish. What next? The Italians?) So, Mr. O'Reilly, you are now officially an 'Anglo'. Welcome to the Anglo-Saxon Club! But we will call you just 'Anglo' so as not to confuse you with ..... well, ..... you know, ..... real Anglo-Saxons."
