A very important thing you have to remember is that Spanards (from Spain) are considered caucasions. They are light skinned and have red hair and blue eyes. That is why they are considered caucasions. Mexicans are considered brown. They speak spanish but in a diff dialect.
There are many diff dialects of the Spanish or Latin language. I am half white and half hispanic and people often associate that with Mexican, but it is not so.
Joe Kapp of the Minnesota Vikings was also Hispanic, and a good QB.
The much overlooked Latin populas has come a long way and has done so quietly and somewhat respectfully.
According to statistics Latinos are the biggest minority, and rely less on federal help than any race or ethnicity (including whites).
There are bad people in every race and we should not judge the race by one person, but too often that happens. Hispanic or Latin Americans have never been outspoken as other minority groups, but have held weight with their work ethic, values, and pricipals.
Unfortunately what I see happening with every race (none excluded) is that these young knuckleheads are ruining it for the oldschool guys that laid the foundation for everything. it seems like one generations lowest standard is the next generations highest standard.
I guess what I am saying is that accomplishments tell more about the individual than the race. No matter what DR. King said, Kennedy said, or Chavez said there will always be1 or 2 people who shape the stereotype of a certain race for people who don't want to understand that it is up to the individual to do the right thing and not because he or she is a certain race.
I think MR. Dungy and MR Smith are class acts and they should be examples for all to watch and not just African Americans.
I do not see why America finds it so surprising to see upsatnding people like Mr Dungy, or Mr Smith, or Reggie White, or Landanian Tomlinson, or General Colon Powell doing the right thing. Doing the right thing should not get us praise it should be what is expected. I am not surprised when I see an African American soldier doing the right thing. I am not surprised when I see a Caucasion soldier doing the wrong thing because in the the U.S. Army we are all GREEN!!
Maybe I am too narrow minded and set in my ways, but I think people make too big of an issue out of race, gender, creed , and color. I thought we were passes that? Anyways,
God Bless!!!
