[QUOTE]Originally posted by IWISHIHAD: [QB] Quote Machiavelli: "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" _________________________________________________ As far as your friends and what you and they talk about behind close doors is your problem. I would know nothing about that, we did talk trash about our friends or others behind their backs. Again, why does stating that Walmart is opening up a Mexican Store have to do with being a racist? Maybe it's not completly true that it is just Mexican food store, but my lack of being completely true in this statement, could be from my not caring what they open, i think they suck. You make statements throughout your post using the word most, you do have statistics to confirm your statements, not just friends or friends of friends, like with the Chinese. "The 39,000-square-foot Supermercado de Walmart at 8921 W. Thomas Road in Phoenix is a former Walmart Neighborhood Market that has been remodeled and stocked with goods to appeal to Hispanic consumers. That includes a mix of Spanish and U.S. products. Yoplait yogurt sits next to LaLa dairy products from Mexico. There is an expanded produce section, traditional Latin bakery, a baby section and expanded party aisle with piñatas and other accessories for celebrations. Hispanics buy significantly more fresh produce, dairy and meat products than non-Hispanics, they have larger families with more children." Quotes Iwish: "Another factor in in figuring how much each family spends on food would depend on the family size. "Does not mean they spend more on food than non hispanics. (Per Person)" Like i said before i could care less what Walmart does, i would stay clear no matter what they carry. As far as how Hispanics/Mexicans etc. choose to classify themselves, as far as a race in the census, had nothing to do with someone forcing a choice on them. If they did not want to be considered white then they had a choice in the Questionaire. Even though you think the majority would chose otherwise. As far as your quote to me: "You were the one who progressed the conversation to that direction when you said hispanics are white. So I went with the flow." You did not go with the flow, you started the flow where you wanted it to go. This other statement shows that, when you addressed CashCowMoo: "i have to laugh at your backwards thinking... making it sound like hispanic influences in this country is a bad thing... I wonder if you think the same thing of italians for example with Pizza being very popular in this country as well as Little Italy's and Italian grocers and such... bet you don't because by now Italians are considered "white" unlike in the past around the late 19th and early 20th century...
