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.

You don't know the answer to your first question? Hmmm.
Which OP are you referring to? You mentioned Catholic to get a religious
argument going. You and Plume are hell bent on destroying this
newsgroup, aren't you?

You have a pretty thin skin and not be too bright if you think I could
destroy this newsgroup.

Sediments? Like clay?

There will always be crime. Do you claim that the vast majority of Hispanics
support these gangs?

How about all the white supremacist gangs?

It would only paternalistic if there was some underlying agenda... keep them
in their place, they're only good with kids, etc.

How so? Racism is usually associated with negative attributes. The comment I
made was from my direct experience. So, you're saying that if I claim that
Swedes are mostly blue-eyed, that would be racist?
