In re "Cubans" and "white." Many Hispanics are as white as your Aunt Fanny. Many are as black as Willy Mays. Bad terminology.

It is our government that would like "Hispanic" to mean "the color of a brown paper bag." That is why an Argentine or a Chilean, or God forbid an actual Spaniard, does not count as an Hispanic when it comes to handing out the Affirmative Action goodies. Exceptions: White Puerto Ricans and white Cubans can work that angle, as can white Mexicans, Dominicans, etc. Go figure. Just remember, Juan Carlos de Borbón and Penelope Cruz are not Hispanics for government purposes.

Enough of that. It is clear that no matter what a candidate's provenance, he or she is SOL unless they can claim to have been born in Hawaii. Or their mother ingested Dole Pineapple products while awaiting the birth of a foreigner's child.I have spoken. And since the SCOTUS has not, my opinion is as good as anyone else's.

Now would be a good time. Tony S.-- Sam. -- Clarence-- John-- Tony K, cat got your tongues? Accept an appeal and get to work. They're on your desks.

Well, of course. But it's not bad terminology if it gets you free stuff.

It doesn't matter what you actually look like as long as you have that handy-dandy minority card you too can be president without any real experience. It would be racist to point that out.

Can you check the box? Can you call whitey a racist even though your skin is technically lighter than your own? If so, then you are good to go.

Right and left will fall all over themselves to get you elected president.

Anchor babies not only welcome but preferred!
