Minorities can’t be bigots because they don’t have the power. Everybody knows that. /

That’s gonna be interesting here in NM in a handful of years when people with Spanish surnames are in the majority. Right now, Spanish surnames are certainly the plurality here in NM. Odd that having a spanish surname makes one a “minority,” while having, say, a French surname, does not.

That’s part of the bogus nature of “latino/latina” as recognized “minorities.” The melting pot is a far better way to go than this balkanized “multiculturalism” nonsense. I maintain that any two Americans (raised here, not new arrivals) have far more in common that either have with someone from any other country. That’s GOOD. That’s great, in fact. That’s the answer to the spread of Islam, for example. They need to “melt” into our country with its secular government, and pluralistic lifestyle or not come here.

Melting pot FTW.
