Now maybe this is specific to inner city hispanic kids from Los Angeles, but they definitely remark upon people with blue eyes and casually refer to "white kids" all the time.

There are quite a few people of Mexican Mestizo parentage who have blue or green eyes.

Gee, no kidding, really? I'm sorry I didn't post a disclaimer first and say "The fact that there are some people of Mexican Mestizo parentage who have blue or green eyes nonwithstanding, the Hispanic kids I teach definitely remark upon people with blue eyes and casually refer to 'white kids' all the time ..."

I'm just saying that the hispanic kids I know don't consider themselves white, according to their own words. I also included the disclaimer "maybe this is specific to inner city hispanic kids from Los Angeles" but why don't you occupy yourself picking through the rest of my quote to see if there is any other place I could have included a parenthetical or aside.
