Speak for yourself...I have a strong bond with my European-American brothers and sisters. Our ancestors created the greatest nation in the history of the world which was an amalgamation of the greatest cultures from the motherland in Europe. The term "Hispanic" is a real misnomer as a mayan/aztec descent Mexican has little in common (except language) with the 1959-1960 era Cuban refugees who were more Spanish descent white folks. And you noticed that it was those Spanish descent Cubans who held the line for Bush in Dade county during the election debacle, acting like a bunch of suburban white folks...meanwhile in California Bush was trounced with a heavy turnout of Mexican-American hispanics most of whom are of Indian descent.
So do you.
I don't have any strong bond with you.
I'd rather spend time visiting a ethnic club catering to my particular ethnic heritage than with a generic Caucasian club.
Among other things talks about Aznar's ideas about American Hispanics...quotes him saying "I want Hispanics there to know that they have common European roots and a heritage that can be as solid as the Anglo-Saxon one." He is also quoted as saying that "Bush will win the election and will do it on his own, but if he needs a hand he'll have it" (that is, Aznar is ready to help). He's going to Miami this month "to be with the Cubans."
The article also mentions Chirac's use of "la resistance" to refer to the terrorists trying to sabotage US efforts in Iraq. That Chirac wants to liken them to the anti-Nazi resistance shows the depth of his hatred for the U.S. and for Bush.
