The whole argument of racism is NOT a "total scam" as you put it.I don't know where you grew up but it was all around me growing up in California in the Fifties and Sixties.
Thats not to say that the NAACP,LULAC and frauds like Jackson are the answer!I agree with you that they are the shallowest of politcal opportunists and charlatans out there.
But to say racism does not exist on the part of Caucasians?Totally naive on your part.
You accidentally on purpose took my statement out of context, as I was specifically citing that Latinos and Hispanics are not a race by any scientific measure. The disdain you witness against them would truthfully have to be considered "bigotry" or "prejudice", as racism only applies to races.
Language is an odd thing at times. If Bat Masterson was a shootist and Yo Yo Ma is a cellist, isn't Jeff Gordon a racist?
