It's true, but I question how important that fact really is in a discussion about racial attitudes. Like it or not, racial attitudes in America correlate very closely with appearance. Skin tone, attire, dialect. A "Hispanic" who looks and sounds like an upper class Caucasian is going to have a very different experience in America than a low income immigrant "Hispanic" of African derivation.

You may be correct, but I would think that their experience will be different because they are immigrants first and foremost, and not so much because they are Hispanic.

I would say that a person who looks and sound like an upper class Caucasian will have a different experience then a low income person under the same circumstances.

Social circumstance in America speaks louder than heritage, imho.

I don't agree. Haitian immigrants have a very different "user experience" than, say, immigrants from the UK. All other things being equal.

How can you tell the difference between them, if all other things are equal, the only difference being the passports they hold?

You took "all other things being equal" a bit more literally than I had intended

Is she twenty years younger than you, and doesn't challenge your opinion about anything like your first wife that wouldn't get off the couch to make you a sammich?

No she is 13 years younger than me and absolutely runs my house and ain't skeered to make me mind.

I'm a half-brown person who got here for free! So I am totes able to opine on the struggles of all my Hispanic brethren, whatever race they may be.

(Just a friendly reminder AGAIN that "Hispanic" is not a race, thanks.)

Well if you are Hispanic then why does your profile say English ? everyone knows Hispanica is not in England
