Yay for identity politics. SHE IS AN AMERICAN! There should be no latino american, african american, chinese american etc etc. Self segregating is counter productive. Does not mean that you cant be proud of your heritage. When I was in the military there was no talk of race, we were all just navy blue. Thats how america should be, Americans!

You should learn that freedom of speech doesn't mean saying whatever you like. If you 'Stand for America', how can you come with such a poor argument that is completly empty from sense? Can you give me a reason why a latin american shouldn't enter the supreme court while Spanish people actually discovered the continet you are living in?

ya but that same asian can be asian & hispanic like alberto fujimara...english doesnt count, its only spanish that determines their hispanicity. Even africans in africa who speak spanish consider themselves hispanic, same thing with jews....jews have lived everywhere throughout history...they will tell u "hey im hispanic"...being hispanic is a phenomenon, if you r swedish & ur transfered to venezuela to be an exec of coca cola, marry a locAL & learn spanish like the ceo there...he becme hispanic

Okay what about hispanics who speak no spanish or Asians who speak the swedish language are not Swedish by race.They are still asian.And sammy sosa looks no different from any other black person based on characteristics so i may infer that he is black.

It's sort of like the Monty Phython skit where everyone is called John. Ever seen that skit?  Funny. Dude, chill. There's no law against stupidity and I'd like to keep it that way. Enjoy.

But to someone who is not Latino (Caucasian, Asian or African-American) , we are all "wetbacks" ,"spics", etc. I'm Puerto Rican and to some people see me as a Mexican. They don't care. If we speak Spanish, we're all grouped as Mexican.

If they don't beleive her when she says she is a racist , why are they celebrating? she does belong to laraza. Universal healthcare will cover all illegal aliens . When rationing starts killing Americans who have paid taxes their whole lives , I wonder how they'll feel about guest workers getting aid before them because they are younger an no one would dare " discriminate against them and tell them to wait likd the rest of us .
