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

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.


Because, if that same statement was made about the the race that usually
hollers out racist, they would holler out racist.
Was mention made of Catholics? I must have missed it.

You aren't being clear. What race "usually hollers out racist" and what
has it to do with Hispanics or the OP's statement?
I mentioned Catholic, because Hispanics are overwhelmingly Catholic, and
the church has influence on their family values.
Sorry if mentioning religion offended you. It was not my intent.
