"The U.S. Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean a person of "Latin America" (including persons of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin) living in the U.S. who may be of ANY RACE or ethnic group (White,Black,Asian,Amerindian)"

Well...then enjoy that privilige, cause if you were slightly different looking you couldn't do that. You'd have to take whatever treatment is being dished out to you.edit on 25-3-2011 by dude69 because: (no reason given)

Ok define American "culture". You can't. Every part of the country has their own culture and values and the only thing we share is a common language and a common sense of patriotism. We all listen to different styles of music which is an indication of culture as we all watch different styles of movies and television programing as we all enjoy different styles of food and decor...so I ask again-Define American "culture."
I also believe you group all his panics as a block of people who refuse to leave their cultural past behind when that fact is blatantly false. Look at historical footage of New York, look at the workers protesting-they all have signs written in Russian, German, Italian, Hebrew, Gaelic, and other languages indicating the cultural background of said immigrant groups. The fact that every one of previous stated groups forgot their cultural heritage and learned English, so much to the point where their descendants bash newer immigrant groups for doing the same their forefathers had done. The truth is since the influx of immigrants coming from south of the border has been constant for the last 50-30 years, there hasn't been a noticeable change in regards to cultural "assimilation". Think of it like this, for ever Mexican that learns how to speak English proficiently, another Mexican comes in not knowing English and starts the learning process giving the sense that Hispanics don't bother to learn English.
I'm first generation American of Mexican decent, and I can tell you that along with every other child of immigrants, we have adapted to society, learned English and have a higher appreciation to what this country provides over our natural born, 2nd or 3rd generation American counterparts, I would also like to indicate that as I have adapted to American society, so has my family. So I speak from first hand knowledge that every Hispanic/Latino family that i know has done the same. And no, we're not the exception, it's just common sense-if you want to succeed in a country that isn't your own, you adapt by learning the language of your adopted country and learning the civics. In fact, every immigrant family that i know whether they be Asian, Hispanic, or Middle Eastern teach said values at home. While the parents are not fluent in English, their children are as that is the only way their children are going to succeed in this country- and honestly, who wants their child to fail at life?
Yesterday the official results of the 2010 Census finally started coming out.. and surprise surprise, Hispanics were by far the fastest growing population, and are now the second largest demography in the country after non-Hispanic Whites.

History doesn't show that the white man doesn't care because all of the problems of the past were to be put on the white man for him to feel guilty about things he never did or had little to do with......ever heard of white guilt?
The African slave trade is a fine example because it was the Jews and Muslims who benefited from 98% of the trade and the small amount of Jews(Zionists) who want the white race gone have made the African slave trade seem like whites were to blame......THEY WEREN'T!!!!!
You clearly know nothing about history.

Ted Nugent and Lynyrd Skynyrd aren't the definitive pinnacle of American music, y'know (and thank goodness for that!)
Also, people were speaking Spanish in America about three hundred years before a bunch of dudes who couldn't tell their F's from their S's decided to gripe about their tea being taxed. Incidentally none of 'em bothered to learn Algonquin.

I think you white people get all the heat, cause you impose yourself as the moral authority on the world. If you're gonna announce yourself as the moral authority don't be surprised if others pay very close attention to what you're doing.
It's like a guy coming into work daily announcing: Im the most decent, sophisticated f'er here! and you all have to abide by my rules and live up to the moral standards I hold...Nevermind if they're wrong, or not, or even I fon't live up to my own standards and break them´...All you others have to do exactly as I see fit, or you're scum!!!
By the end off the week you'd have killed his hypocritical power-hungry ass.edit on 25-3-2011 by dude69 because: (no reason given)edit on 25-3-2011 by dude69 because: (no reason given)

You must be a child!!! Be so angry at this individual that you want to kill him even though the example above implies that he must have created the organization, leads the organization (everyone hs to "abide" by his rules), and keeps the organization function in such a matter that the poster won't leave (must be getting some type of hand-out, er I mean paycheck). Don't leave the place where you are being so "oppressed"; kill someone instead, right, because you could run it so much better (even though you can't create it). Whatever....edit on 25-3-2011 by mandella1099 because: (no reason given)

Thats the thing, concepts and movements like feminism and homosexuality are "dividing". But division isn't what it is about, its about unification of the white race instead of committing genetic suicide.
Race doesn't matter.
In fact, it doesn't even exist in humans.
While that may sound like the idealistic decree of a minister or rabbi, it's actually the conclusion of an evolutionary and population biologist at Washington University.
Alan R. Templeton, Ph.D., professor of biology in Arts and Sciences, has analyzed DNA from global human populations that reveal the patterns of human evolution over the past one million years. He shows that while there is plenty of genetic variation in humans, most of the variation is individual variation. While between-population variation exists, it is either too small, which is a quantitative variation, or it is not the right type of qualitative variation -- it does not mark historical sublineages of humanity.
Templeton analyzed genetic data from mitochondrial DNA, a form inherited only from the maternal side; Y chromosome DNA, paternally inherited DNA; and nuclear DNA, inherited from both sexes. His results showed that 85 percent of genetic variation in the human DNA was due to individual variation. A mere 15 percent could be traced to what could be interpreted as "racial" differences.
"The 15 percent is well below the threshold that is used to recognize race in other species," Templeton said. "In many other large mammalian species, we see rates of differentiation two or three times that of humans before the lineages are even recognized as races. Humans are one of the most genetically homogenous species we know of. There's lots of genetic variation in humanity, but it's basically at the individual level. The between-population variation is very, very minor."
