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.



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

If a conservative said something like that, hell would freeze over.
That's why so many latinos other than older Cubans so closely identify
with the modern conservative republicans (hah!), and the older Cubans
only do so because they think the Republicans will continue to crap on
Cuba so long as the Castros are alive.
