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.

It does, and is bull****. Not all California spanish are upstanding
friendly christians. If they disagree with out sediments, let them
explain these:

* 18th Street gang
* 38th Street gang
* 41st street gang
* Mexican Mafia
* Mara Salvatrucha
* Nuestra Familia
* The Avenues gang
* Norteños
* Sureños
