I wonder why anyone would write an article like this with half truth.

Probably for the obvious reasons. I just think the word "hispanic" is too completely vague --- it means very little. Vicente Fox I guess would be one since he's from Mexico --- but his grandfather was from Ohio and of Irish descent, his mother is from Spain, at best he's really only 1/4 Mexican or hispanic. I've heard it boasted that Thomas Alva Edison is a famous hispanic inventor just because of that Alva middle name.

"Probably for the obvious reason."

What is the obvious reason?

Is it that we are watching history being re-written for some diversity project?

Vicente Fox I guess would be one since he's from Mexico --- but his grandfather was from
Ohio and of Irish descent, his mother is from Spain, at best he's really only 1/4 Mexican or hispanic.

I have a cousin who traveled in Mexico for a Texas company.
He said to me "if you really want to see racism in action, you should go to a
bank in Mexico City."

He then related his suprise that when visiting a few Mexican banks that he (and similar
"pale-skins") would be pulled to the head of the waiting line by the bank personnel...
leaving the Mexicans of darker hue to wait, and wait and wait.

That's something that Mexican immigrants certainly don't have to be
bothered with in the USA...no matter their melanin content.
