The illegals want to use the race card in hopes of enlisting help from all "hispanics". They WANT to turn it into a race thing. It would be to their advantage.. or so they think.
Interestingly enough, Hispanics are caucasian. If we look technically at race here in this question... well.. we are all the same race, spotted dog mixtures and all.. No.. It is more an ethnic thing. And even there it is not monolithic.. as I pointed out in my other post.
Rather, the ethnic thing is one from a negative value. In other words, NOT white of "european" descent. Therefore, the unifying degree is one from a negative under the banner of a non-existant positive.
So it's under the guise of a non-existant monolithic Spanish ethnicity, but it is really one of "Spanish speaking but not lily-white". Heck, Cubans BARELY make this threshhold if at all, because Cuban heritage is as much Castillian as it is Latin American.. thus "european" as it were.
I agree. Good analysis. My family is actually much more Castillian in looks (some blue eyes, some green, and light hair) and culturally we're very different.
They are not going to have the support they want no matter what they do. And if they keep up the protesting, they'll have even more people against them (kindof like the Dems at Wellstone's memorial).
