<![CDATA[Latino question]]>Seriously.

One of the big buzz issues in the Sotomayor debate is how Hipanics will view one party's opposition or support of a Latino.

I wonder if all Latinos think of themselves as homogenous dark skinned Spanish speaking people or if Mexicans, Puerto Rican, Cubans, Dominican etc think of themselves as different entities?

IOW are Croats Serbs Germans, Russians, Brits and Irish all on the same white bus?

If not do we expect Latinos to be?

No, because he "deletes posts" more often than Stan on Steeler fans. But thanks for trying, John.

Im sure we havent heard the last from Alberto Gonzalez....

Does FOX have a "Judge Alberto" show in the works or something??

Comparing Sotomayor to Gonzalez is ludicrous.

IIRC, we used to have an Hispanic Attorney General. Seems like the other party had a party in bashing him out of his appointment.

Mexicans dont look at puerta ricans or cubans the same and the languages are slightly different anyways.

However "hispanics" will lump togeather against other non hispanics.... etc. I think as an electorate they hold very similar views and concerns and function basically as one block (exception of the Florida Cubans).

but to put that above being an American seems terribly racist, especially when people "act out" and make judgements

legal and common, against other heritages in favor of their own.

And that, is the serious question about Sotomayor, with her serious involvement in Hispanic activist orgs.

We're all Americans, but to put one's heritage before all others seems to be un-American.
