I have no daoubt that he can relate well with the Hispanics. I just thought you were a little harsh in your calling him a Mexican and not knowing that he was a U. S. Naturalized citizen.

I admire him for that.

I don’t think he will be an easy mark like Cardinal Mahony was at all. He will either teach them the right way to become a citizen or ask them to return to their homeland.

Guess we’ll both have to wait and see, won’t we?

I grew up in Western Nebraska where the word Mexican was used to describe the Hispanics as much the “N” word would describe the black population. I detest the word “Mexican.” So you pegged me right there.

I’m not attacking you as a person...it was the language and the fact that you didn’t know about Archbishop’s quest for American citizenship that caused my rant.

Are we friends again?

I've never heard that, in Texas, California, Arizona, New Mexico and so on, Mexican is the way that you would even describe your wife or husband in many conversations if they were Mexican Hispanic. We all know what it means.

A fact not in evidence, Salvation. I made no reference.

Sure, no problem at all.
