Lol Deja.... like people take PORTLAND OREGON seriously.

Everything I learned about Portland I learned from coming inches away from falling out of a car doing 70 or so there while screeching past a two mile line up for a Madonna concert of all things. Which wasn't much. Oh, but Oregon does have some incredible trees and if you get a chance to see the magical sea lion caves, don't pass it up. Get this - sea lions, like, 100 yards away!

Portland....

What does it feel like to be living in the center of it all Deja?! . Hhm... thinking about it, we're brethen in a way. You are about as relevant to the rest of the US as Canada is. On second thought way less so. You'll get over it.

(though "Sometimes a Great Notion" wouldn't have been written were it not for Oregon...and that would be a shame).

Raise a beer! Coooohlookookookoolookoo!

Of the people, for the people, by the people, it boils down to this .

In america we the people are the government, we tell the heads of state and the police what to do . And we the government choose to retain the right of the individual to defend his self and his own with leathal force by means of pistola and machette . The people have this power. When and if the power is ever removed from the people and given to the state we will by definition no longer be a democracy .

On a side note . Does it bother the spanish that americans don't consider them to be caucasian ? I've allways wondered about that when I've had to fill out ethnicity questions .

Hey guess why Emilio Steves's Father and brother changed their names to gain fame in  Holly's wood.

I think there's a  mindset that if you're not a WASP, you're not considered a caucasian by the  establishment. Means that if you're catholic, white and speak Spanish you're not right. Inmidietly, the mindset is you're suppossed to be 5 feet tall, brown skinned,  border crosser, burrito eating Mexican.

Of course it bothers us... because it's plain wrong. The traits you associate with "spanish" or "hispanic" or "latino" people are in fact native american traits. For a Spanish the term "hispano" means only "spanish speaker"

Caucasian has bizarrely come to mean "Pale Northern European", just because "Aryan" got a bit of bad press the latest 60 years or so...

But to add fuzziness to all this stuff, Aryans where the supposed ancient people which sprang the Hindu, Persian, Greek, Latin, Celtic, Teutonic, Slavonic, and other races... A lot of non too white people there...

All this race stuff gets a little silly... as I cannot trace my ancestors I can't tell if I'm an Iberian, a Celt, a Latin, a Goth an Arab or Northern African. Probably a mixture of three or more of those in god knows what proportions... Thats going to make a mess of all those forms you have got there...

[Samm]

I always thought that if I was spanish I might be offended that caucasian and hispanic are two seperate answers on a lot of forms I had to fill out in the US military . I think most americans assume hispanic=mestizo .

Living in texas I also often hear people missuse the word mexican as if it were an ethnicity .

hispanic = person who primarily speaks spanish.

Ok miko2d, if demographically in the USA there is such a high crime rate among blacks, maybe its because demographically blacks are poorer, grow up with less education, and grow up in violent enviroments in a cycle that is hard to breach.

So it has nothing to do with race and color of skin, and more to do with the enviroment they are subjected to endure.

You whole arguement is completely skewed. And outdated, because things are different presently, the goverment started making changes a while ago, but those changes take decades to show results. But the results are starting and are very positive.

Unfortunately for you,  that you have to endure having people of diferent races and backgrounds achieving goals highly over what you and your family ever accomplished, even when the odds are stacked against them.

Its pathetic that you have to desperately look for any kind of chart or un-scientific study to justify your irrational hate for anyone who is not of your same color or background.
But who cares now, all I have for the likes of you is pity, that you are a hateful, fearful, ignorant individual in a world that is changing faster than you can adjust
