re: #156 Patricia Kayden

I find the terms “Latino” and “Hispanic” to be a little odd since they do not refer to race. If I remember correctly, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin Americans, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc., all fit within the categories of Latino. I wonder if all Latinos/Hispanics can really be said to know what it means to be a second-class citizen when many are what we would describe as White. Many of the Latinos I know personally identify as White.

The majority of Mexicans I worked with identified as MEXICAN. They did not appreciate being lumped into the larger Latino/Hispanic grouping and would not hesitate in letting you know it.
