F you Saden. I am so-called Hispanic. It's a made up term and so is Latino. You're not as smart as you think you are.

I am not as smart as I think I am but when I talk about something I try to know what I'm talking about. You on the other hand don't make any effort. It's like you're handicapped and if that's the case I apologies.

Made up term indeed.

Just because you try to understand something doesn't mean you do. If three frogs are sitting on a log and one decides to jump off there are still three frogs on a log. You'd have made a good Greek slave, smart in your own pompous way. In the end you'd do the bidding of a Roman who didn't give a damn about your high ideals and stupid ass idealism.

You are unique and special. I have no doubt you only speak the truth and are more than capable of filling Moses' shoes if called upon.

Oh, who I'm I kidding...you're as smart as a peanut butter biscuit laced with salmonella.

Your incompetence is staggering. Sandals are shoes but expecting you to know that would be asking too much. It's like you enjoy the taste of your own foot.

I love hearing white newscasters say "Latina" as though they were Al Pacino in scarface. Classic douchebaggery. As though Hispanics will be offended if you don't say burrito or Rodriguez with a spotless Mexican accent.

If sandals were shoes they wouldn't be called sandals. Better my foot than the liberal BS that flows out your mouth.

actually i have to agree with TTE here. "hispanic" wasnt a word until US immigration made it up as a category of race to my knowledge . . . .older hispanic persons ive talked to about this said it was at one time viewed as a derogatory term among "hispanics" b/c it took away their actual identity and lumped them all into one easy category whether you were from south america, mexico puerto rico, spain etc., you, for americans convenience, were all branded as "hispanic".

now its just an accepted term i doubt most young hispanics even know the origin of.

go skins!!

You know the term Redneck came about when American's with Indian blood were told their necks were too red to vote. Now people run around like it has something to do with working class WASPs and it's some kind of badge of honor.

Thank you for recognizing that old schoolers don't like being put into some made up ethnic group with people from another race and culture. I can't speak for everyone else but I don't appreciate people speaking on my behalf.

I would find it insulting to find out that I was elevated to a position because I've got a dash of Indian blood and some egg head thinks I'm some kind of minority. The last time I checked I was surrounded by my fellow country-men.

Judge Soda-Maker thinks because she's Puerto Rican that makes her smarter than Caucasians. That is racist BS. Had it been a white man saying these things the liberal media would've shat.

No if a white man had said that he never would have been picked in the first place.

not that i am some kind of class label expert but i was told the term "redneck" came from west virginia coal miner (union) workers who fought (and lost real bad) to coal miner company hired guns/army? coal mine workers tied red bandannas around their neck so they could tell who was who.

im gonna google it now and see whats up.

go skins!!

"The popular etymology says that the term derives from such individuals having a red neck caused by working outdoors in the sunlight over the course of their lifetime. The effect of decades of direct sunlight on the exposed skin of the back of the neck not only reddens fair skin, but renders it leathery and tough, and typically very wrinkled by late middle age. Another popular theory stems from the use of red bandanas tied around the neck to signify union affiliation during the violent clashes between United Mine Workers and owners between 1910 and 1920."

yeah i believe the origin i was told.
