California has a large hispanic population. They are mostly a warm,
friendly people who care about family and community.


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.

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.

Sorry, I'm new here. Didn't know that a simple - and in my experience
true - statement is seen through a political prism. In any case, can
you show evidence that what you said it true?
An example of a conservative making a a similar statement and being
called racist, or ostracized for stereotyping?
I can see where that might happen given the radicalization of politics,
but there is no reason for me to think in such a knee-jerk fashion.
All I see is one person's statement and your response to to.

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.

Forget it. Comment wasn't directed to you anyway. If you are new, I wish
you luck here.
I won't further poison your indoctrination.

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.

Well, like you said, you are new here (snerk) so stick around a while and make
your own conclusion. Seems you are making one already though.

I can see where that might happen given the radicalization of politics,
but there is no reason for me to think in such a knee-jerk fashion.

Well, "new guy".. What kind of boat do you have? Does it have a "trolling"
motor?
