[QUOTE]Originally posted by Machiavelli: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IWISHIHAD: [qb] Again your reading what you want things to say. What does a Hispanic/Mexican Walmart that i think will specialize in Mexican food have anything to do with above statement?[/qb][/QUOTE]Actually no one said that the Walmart supermercardos were going to specialize in Mexican food. The article says "hispanic" supermercardos not "mexican". Hispanic food varies alot and contrary to belief is not all mexican. Mooman put "mexican walmarts" in the title so automatically you assume mexican food. Mooman misnamed the thread and i pointed that out which you seemed to have not caught on or ignored completely. As for the rest of the convo and what it has to do with the thread title.Nothing nor did i say it had anything to do with it. You were the one who progressed the conversation to that direction when you said hispanics are white. So I went with the flow. [QUOTE][qb]I had made this statement to you: "Actually Machiavelli the Hispanics/Mexicans are considered white also." And this was your answer: "Actually no were not. Do not know where you got that from. Spaniards on the other hand are." Then i told you where i got it.[/qb][/QUOTE]And i told you for the lack of better choices hispanics are classified into that catergory but if you asked them directly are you white? The majority will say no. And the majority of americans (non hispanics) would say no also that hispanics are not. We may have white ancestry (spaniards etc.) but that does not make us white since our blood is now mixed with either native americans (Central and South America) and/or negro blood (dominicans for example as well as Cubans) [QUOTE][qb]Have you every completed a census report, i believe it is required by law, but i will have to look again.[/qb][/QUOTE]I recall i did one time long ago and like i said for a lack of more or better choices I most likely checked off "white". [QUOTE][qb]I have worked with many Mexicans/Hispanics etc. over the years. The last one i worked with hated the Mexicans that came over the border illegally. I never asked him why, sometimes your better off leaving well enough alone. What i heard while driving with him told me i would hear and ear full if i asked him. He never wanted to be refered to them in any way.[/qb][/QUOTE]Your friend is the exception and not the rule. Most hispanics for the most part empathize and/or sympathize with the illegals. Why do you think the immigration issue is such a hot issue among hispanics? [QUOTE][qb]Then there was another person back in the 70's that could not understand why so many of his people(Mexicans) that worked at the company would not bother to learn the English languge. Yet as he stated, wanted to get ahead and they cound not understand why they did not.[/qb][/QUOTE]Because for the most part we keep to ourselves and do not speak nor need to speak english to each other. I don't mean me but the older generation or 1st generation hispanics for the most part. [QUOTE][qb]They all lived within the same community so it was not necessary to learm english and they made no attempt to teach their kids or send them where they could/would have to.[/qb][/QUOTE]Those are exceptions and not rules. Here ,in NY at least, all hispanics send their kids to english speaking schools. ALL.If anything my own parents didn't teach me spanish correctly so my spanish tends to be childish at times while I did go to english speaking schools and my english is fluent. That is the reality of american born hispanics right now in NY at least. Can't say for rest of country. [QUOTE][qb]He liked to be refered to as Mexican, but really was never offended if called something else. Last but not least, was 2 friends of mine that i was overseas with, they were Puerto Rican. I heard them called Black sometimes and Mexican other times. They were never offended, yet made it clear they were Puerto Rican and very proud of it.[/qb][/QUOTE]Exceptions because every hispanic i have ever known here and in Nicaragua/Costa Rica always takes offense to being called something they are not. Some are very vocal about it and others quiet about it but all get offended for the most part because we are also very prejudiced against each other. Sad but true but we are. We'll be friendly to each other face to face for the most part but behind closed doors or behind each other's backs we say sh*t about each other. [QUOTE][qb]I always felt those guys got the shaft when they got drafted, just like Guam did. [/qb][/QUOTE]Personally I think they should have the right to vote about their own fate. To stay as U.S. territory or sucede since they are not states. Anyways IWISH i know you are trying to show you know the experiences of hispanics but unless you are one and grew up as one you will never know. That goes for all races/ethnicities. I cannot say i know what blacks go through by saying i am friends with one or because i read it in the newspaper unless I am one. And I don't pretend to know because i know that i am not one. [/QB][/QUOTE]
