"most Latinos are white"?
Bull. You are talking out of your a$$.
Most Mexicans and Central American coming to this country illegally and legality are Mestizos.
From the CIA fact book for Mexico: mestizo (Amerindian-Spanish) 60%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian 30%, white 9%, other 1%.
The white Mexicans are not coming to this county; the poor Indian and heavy Indian mestizo are who are flooding this county.

I was in Costa Rica for the second time in two years this February, where I rented a car and drove nearly a thousand miles in a very small country. I wanted to make sure that the country is as terrific as I thought it was on my first trip there.
All construction must meet strict government standards for earthquake survival, so even the poorest of Costa Ricans lives in a solid house. Money does go a long way there. You could rent a large, modern American-style home for $350 per month. Your electricity bill would be about $22 per month. Your grocery bill might be $30 per week at supermarkets that have modern bar code scanners, just like here. It's just that your fresh pineapple is going to be about 50 cents, and that's with the weak dollar.
You can watch American television on DirecTV, and there is good cellphone coverage. Movie theatres show American films with SPANISH subtitles, which are a little bit of a nuisance since just about everybody speaks perfect english.
You'll find KFC, Burger Kings, and Taco Bells, and the people behind the counter speak english, unlike in America.
Costa Rica has exceptional health care and hospitals. Most of the doctors received their degrees in American medical schools. Health care is cheap. Many Americans have discovered that you can get cosmetic surgery performed in Costa Rica for a fraction of what it would cost here.
So, it's a little misleading to use per capita GDP to compare countries when the cost of living is so different between them.
One thing you may not have noticed. Illegal aliens caught in the US come from Mexico and other Central American countries. I've never heard of a Costa Rican illegal alien, and I'll bet no one here has.

"
....But due to the Immigration Act of 1965 and the cultural revolution of the '60s, that America is now gone forever."Well, what do you expect when complacent American sheeple elect subversive socialists to "rule" over them? (vis. "Mad Maddie Albright" saying that they [the Clintoon administration] were not about even trying to maintain the sovereignty of the United States.)
QED Unfortunately, Pat's right on the money with this one.

So far, only white people and Japanese seem to have managed to develop and run first world nations. The jury is out on the others.

Your pic looks like Amerindian kids rather than Mestizos. Do you have an agenda or something? I met a guy from Mexico the other day cutting tile who could not speak English that looked totally Caucasion. As I said to the owner of the tile company, yeh you look more Mexican than he does. What's you background? He said half Dutch and half American Indian. LOL. And so it goes.

CIA fact book, Guatemala:
Mestizo (mixed Amerindian-Spanish or assimilated Amerindian - in local Spanish called Ladino), approximately 55%, Amerindian or predominantly Amerindian, approximately 43%, whites and others 2%
Latinos are only considered white when they commit crimes, according to the FBI crime statistics.

Beirut was NOT a multi-cultural city. It was a Lebanese city, it was a multi-religious city, but all the people were Semitic in origin.Look up the definition of multicultural and get back to me.

"Most Cubans and South American spanish speaking immigrants are indeed Caucazoid primarily"
CIA Fact Book for Cuba:
mulatto 51%, white 37%, black 11%, Chinese 1%
To: Alter Kaker
But you don't believe that is because they were white, do you?This seems to have become the point for many of you here. If I did, would that make my statement untrue?
To: Bonny Dick; wardaddy
Mulattas are considered white in those countries.

I could never understand how a white guy with no kids could be so obsessed with America's "demographic problem."

So, the majority of white people look like they come off of a Swiss Miss box? How many white people on this thread look like the girl in the picture?

Most of the Cuban-Americans here currently are white by anyone's standard other than say TLI's.

Yeah I really wonder. Please if they go to my mother's country or to the Meditteranean they'd be shocked at what white people look like. Whatever.

People are constantly telling me that I look like a five-year old girl from Finland.

Pleast note the internet location of the pix . . .
http://www.webcolombia.com/colombia/Raza_Mestizos_Zamboa_y_Mulatos_1.jpg
It is from COLOMBIA, "Raza" translates to "race" and I hope you can make the association of "Mestizos" to your question regarding "Mestizos."
I have no agenda beyond refusing to be a government sheep.

Yes, from India, a democracy that is now holding it's elections with nearly half a billion voters, a nation like the US which has been a democracy since it's independence. Strong Republican tendencies Yep, that's the country I want to emulate. I don't think many know that we are talking about culture here, not race or ethnicity. And, yes, there is such a thing as American culture.
Incidentally India cured it's biggest "diversity" problem by carving off a portion of their country. A solution that I would not be surprised to see our own nation resort to in the next few decades.
Reading the comments here. Some of this stuff is ridiculous.
1. It's time for the census and other government places to stop classifying me by race. It's not their business. This should be a color blind society, and it can start there.
2. Are "Latinos" white? Some are. Some are American Indian. Some are black. Some are of mixed ancestry. What does it matter?
3. Pat is right about illegal immigration. Include all points of origin.
4. Those that come here need to learn English, and their kids need to learn English.
5. Azlan, LaRaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Orange Order, IRA types, Nazis, and Communists (and any such group I did not mention) need to get the hell out of my country.

You're right... depressing that a lot of the disputes in this thread stems from a government not listening to any concerns. I don't bother because I have two senators who could care less.

This seems to have become the point for many of you here. If I did, would that make my statement untrue?Yes. American founding fathers wrote what they wrote because of access to European enlightenment tradition, not because of melanin content of their skin.
