Taliban Pat up to his usual vile tricks.

His demogoguery falls apart under close examnination because most Latinos are white.

And Catholic. Like Pat.

[Arthur McGowan]

I fail to see where Pat said anything about Latinos' being white or not white. I also fail to see where he says that he is alarmed about America not being white. I see him saying that he is alarmed about America no longer having the same culture that it once had.

IMO, the data articulated by Pat is correct ... the numbers of white and non-white, for instance.

If that's true, and the comparison of now vs. 40 years ago is also true ... one would have to determine if there is value in contemplatinmg the prospect of increasing or decreasing those numbers.

This is the thought pattern of the policy makers.

Given we are supposed to be represented in government and not dictated to, we are then forced to recognise that the imigration pattern is not in sync with the desires and expectations of those of us whom claim to be American.

An argument can be made (and often is) regarding the definition of an American, thereby clouding the original point of discussion, which was a statement regarding the ethnic and racial make-up of America.

All that being said ... I think discourse amongst ourselves should be better directed towards idea sharing and opinion rather than the socialist tactic of saying Pat's a nut.

Don't you agree?

most Latinos are white.


Well,  . . . no.


Observe . .


Latino...




White . . .




Just because the fed.gov is dumber than river rocks and wants us to to believe statistics that group hispanics and whites together as being the same, does not mean we must be stupid.

"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.

[Bonny Dick]

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.

[Bismarck]

His demogoguery falls apart under close examnination because most Latinos are white. That's nonsense. Most Mexicans, Central Americans and Puertoricans are of Indian or mixed heritage (Mestizos). A considerable amount though of Cubans, Colombians and Argentinians are of pure European ancestry.

NOT true. Most Mexicans are mixed Amerindian and white, with the Amerindian side predominating. Puerto Ricans and Dominicans tend to be mixed African and European. While it is true that most Cubans are white (reflecting the upper and middle classes who fleed Castro), most other Latinos are a mixture of races.
