See. Ya learn something new every day. I did not know Mexicans had French roots. Us Puerto Ricans have Spaniard roots too. That's why Chan says we're white. I don't consider anything that speaks Spanish as its native language to be white though, so that's where he and I disagree.

I think, even the Italians are considered white. When I took the ASVAB, I was told to pick your race or your ethnic group. Mexican/hispanics are not a race. We are an ethnic group.

The Spanish hate when you confuse them for messican. Well, I wonder if they get upset when you remind them that more than likely, they have Arab/black blood. When a people is conquered, their women are raped, and children are born. Mexico, for example.
Spain was conquered by the Moors, muslim people from the Western Mediterranean and the Western Sahara.

I don't really know about the Italians, to be honest with you. Aren't they the precursor of sorts to us Spanish speaking folks? I know their language is very similar to Spanish, but isn't it close to Latin than ours? I really don't know.

Definitely NO!!!!..........Illegal aliens should be sent back to their countries...I know there is no way to round them all up, but we shouldn't be honoring the fact that they broke the law.

Well, we are currently in the process of helping the husband of a lady in our church, who is from Mexico. We are helping him to be legal. We just found out that he was in the country illegally.

We are not in favor of him being in the country illegally. We ARE in favor of him doing whatever it takes to become legal. We are happy to help, but we're not going to do all for him either. He has 3 children and currently works in a restaraunt for tips only.

The Spanish side of me is not phased by the black blood and puzzled by the Arab blood... Now the German side of me is highly outrage at the suggestion I could be either black or arab....
