Now-a-days your statement (above) could be considered to have a taint of

Why would saying that Catholic, family oriented Hispanics are "mostly a
warm, friendly people who care about family and community" ever be
construed as racist?
Maybe edging toward paternalistic, but that's all.



It isn't because a liberal said it. If a conservative said something
similar, he/she would be
ostracized for stereotyping.
