[QUOTE]Originally posted by Machiavelli: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by IWISHIHAD: [qb] 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. [/qb][/QUOTE]We'll I didn't mean gossips, rumors, this guy is an azzhole or that guy is an azzhole etc. What I meant is such things as "Salvadorians are nothing but criminals" or "Salvadorians are mostly indian blood and not true hispanics"... things like that.. those are direct quotes from people i know about one type of hispanic... they say the same kinds of things about other types... [QUOTE][qb]Again, why does stating that Walmart is opening up a Mexican Store have to do with being a racist?[/qb][/QUOTE]Again you are confused. I didn't say Walmart is racist nor you. Just Mooman for starting this thread. He wanted to make us "aware" that Walmart is starting them. And I said aware about what? He still hasn't given a satisfactory answer to that. [QUOTE][qb]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)" [/qb][/QUOTE]Again IWISH, poverty and/or family size may factor into it but more then anything culture does. Everything in hispanic life centers around food. My parents are not rich nor is our family large (I don't live with them but it's just me and them. 3 people. I do go over for dinner sometimes) but they spend on average of $200 to $300 per grocery trip. That is just one example. I could give dozens from families and friends that are similar. Not all hispanic families are large. I guess you would have to spend time and i mean real time not at work and not once in a blue moon with a hispanic family to see it for yourself. I can say it all i want to you but you still won't believe me and will go by stats and such. [QUOTE][qb]Like i said before i could care less what Walmart does, i would stay clear no matter what they carry.[/qb][/QUOTE]I stay clear of them as well except in times like now with the crisis and cutting back of hours at my job. I don't like Walmart for what they do to local small businesses. But I have to do what I have to do to save money and pay the bills for now. [QUOTE][qb]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.[/qb][/QUOTE]I don't think ,I know. If I haven't met a person in 3 countries that is hispanic who identifies themselves as white in my 37 years nor have I met a white person who considers hispanics as white in my 37 years except in some piece of paper from the Gov't then tell me how I am wrong? That is not stats but personal experience. How do the stats explain my personal experiences? [QUOTE][qb]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... [/qb][/QUOTE]That is not the census I meant but society's view in general of what people are considered. This is an example that is not about race but shows what I mean about the Gov't's classifications. Poker is a game of skill but is not considered to be so by the Gov't so therefor it is illegal on the internet. Now ask any serious poker player if the game is skill and the answer will always be yes. Now whose right? The majority of poker players or the Gov't? Now whose right about hispanics? The majority of hispanics who see hispanic/latin as a race or the Gov't who does not recognize hispanic/latins as a race? I personally do not classify myself as white, asian or black. The 3 so called only races on this earth. And I know plenty of hispanics that feel the same way as well as whites who think the same. [/QB][/QUOTE]
