almost 40% of people identify as racial or ethnic minorities today.
And why wouldn’t they when there are all sorts of advantages, set asides and special treatment for them? It is legal and encouraged to discriminate on the basis of race among other characteristics. Never mind the degree to which waving the yellow flag of race is useful for that late great American pastime; wallowing in self pity.
The classic Latino I think of is basically, I guess, “Indian” (which in theory should also not be a race but really yellow). Yet Mexican and south look different to me than most of our NA Indians.
