Series question? Which group are Cubans?
I bet they’d say that about Ted Cruz, too. Not hispanic enough.
Ethnic Aristocracies Have no Place in Modern America
But we have a minority cult idol in the WH
Ehem.. they aren’t aristocrats, they are Oligarchs. Very similar to Russian ones now. :)
Perhaps we need a version of the Nuremburg Laws here, to establish who is and who is not a member of the “right” groups. [/s]

When the Black & Hispanic Caucuses sign up let me know.
First and foremost, just be AMERICAN.
It starts with a stupid premise:
“Being Mexican or Part Mexican”.
There is no such thing.
It would be like everyone emigrating to Mexico and trumpeting “I’m part American”.
“Really?”
How can either statement be true?
The respective countries are multi ethnic and ancestors from all over the globe.
To be Mexican is very much like saying “I’m Palestinian”...uhmmm, no yer not.
Within the boundaries of Mexico is a rich history pre dating Hernando Cortez.
Yeah, seems there were quite a few native tribes such as the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacan, the Zapotec, the Maya and the Aztec, to name a few.
In fact, there were hundreds of tribes.
Today, Mexico still has thise tribes but, it’s citizens draw on their ancestry from Spain, The Moors, Irish, German, Lebanese, French and many other blood lines.
There is, however, no such thing as Mexican Ethnicity.
There is no “Mexican” language before the year 1519. The languages were various and unique to each tribe, just they were for native populations within the borders of what would become America.
There is no common or grand Mexican history.
When archaeologists uncover lost cities and civilizations in Mexico they work mightily at identifying who the people were and they never declare them “Oh! Mexicans”.
So no, there are no Mexican Americans.
I’m no longer a white man. Henceforth, I am a proud Celto-Gael. It’s a designation inexact enough and scientifically amorphous enough to suit me. C-Gs observe about 90-110 holidays a year for which I will expect full pay. Stout and whisky are sacremental and I reserve the right seek blessings of those spirits anywhere anytime. There’s lots more but I too blessed this morning to get it all down right now for you.
And then you have those who fake it, with two specific examples in Massachusetts, Kerry (ancestral name Kohn ... I suppose anti-Semitism was even stronger than NINA in old Boston) and Warren (aka Fauxcahontas, Indian maiden of the East).
It’s one of the most obnxious things in the world to see a Progressive commentator say the word “latina” or “latino” with a heavy Spanish pronunciation without breaking stride.
One minute they’ll be speaking English, and in a second or two they’re saying “lah-tee-nah” as if they were reading from sacred text.
These so-called hispanics are and will be the avant-garde of the Progressive revolution, a la Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge, if the progressives are voted into office again.
