Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I hardly think he's the sort of person who would be guilty of xenophobia or racism, since both have probably been directed at him at one point or another.
That is an interesting argument.

I didn't like the wording of it.  It didn't really make the point I was trying to make, as I reread it.

I think that racial situation is different for Hispanics than for other people of color.  Hispanic isn't a racial designation so much as a cultural one in the United States.  So even you our KCurie might be counted as a hispanic in the US, if you were from Argentina you would definitely be counted as hispanic.

With the increasing acculturation of Hispanics in the US, and the near universal English proficiency in the 2nd or 3rd generation,I suspect that Hispanics will do far better than Americans of African descent.

African Americans are easily identified by their skin color.

Does this man look Hispanic to you?

He should he's John Aguilera the only Hispanic elected offical at the state wide level in Indiana (with a name like that the pale whiteness of my state is all the more ironic.)
