Jesus christ
you're babbling about Ameriac this and America that and then you ask why Im talking about America? I didnt bring America into this. Go look back. And Hispanic is a bloody race. Your white/eurpopean tag is absolute BS. No hispanic would refer to themselves as that! and the first black UK elected MP was in 1987. Last edited by Zippy; 24-08-2011 at 01:04 AM. |

There are black latinos, white latinos and asian latinos. None of which are native to South America. And i didn't bring America into this. You're the one that needs to go back and read the thread.

It's impossible to comare elected officials in the US and UK anyway, because the UK doesn't actually have a democratic system./ IN the UK political parties can just appoint MP'
s and there is no democratic vote like primaries nhere in the US. Even if there is a Black PM some day, it won't mean anything, because the political party decides who is their leader, not the people of the UK. The British people never elected Gordon Brown but he was PM.

yeah, because Americans are not diverse at all. Try being consistent for once. There are a a huge percentage of Americans who refer to themselves as Hispanic. Or black. Or Asian. In the context of my original point, that is all that matters; point being that they are different groups that do not get along in harmony. Last edited by Sunny_01; 24-08-2011 at 10:08 AM.

Arn't there rules on this forum against that? I've gotten infractions for far less. Anyways, if you want to learn what LATINO means, read a book about the Roman Empire. I'm not going to waste my time trying to educate you about the Latin countries and their colonialism into South America. The fact that they all speak spanish and are catholic should give you some clue, but you probably havnt made the connection yet.

I have been racially abused on this forum many times, but only by two individuals, interestingly, neither of them British.

Example Puerto Rico and Mexico. Most Mexicans are White, Native American or mixed with both. Puerto Ricans are usually White, White/Native American, Black, White/black/native american, or White/black. Dominican Republic. Majority of Dominicans are of African descent. You can be any race and be a Hispanic. Last edited by SoBig; 25-08-2011 at 07:11 PM. |

Googling and wikiing?
Hispanic not being a race is common knowledge. It's like knowing that Canadian and American aren't races, but nationalities. Only ignorant people think that they are races. |

who the hell cares?
if you think branding hispanics a race is any big deal you wanna get out more. I only used it to signify a certain group so whether they are a race or not is not that relevant to my point. and yes you clearly have been googling for info. But pretend you posted all that off the top of your head if it suits. Last edited by Zippy; 25-08-2011 at 07:56 PM. |

Risky topic OP, good on you for having the Balls to open it up, iv not had chance to read all the replies but on many Forums you'd have the PC dunce's on your back.

Maybe you will see one Example of why Africa's poverty is not down to it's people. I do agree though Black Youth aren't doing as well as Asians or Jew's in the UK and that Racism is'nt the reason It is telling to compare the way Jews, Asians have fared in the UK vs Jamaican's, African's and I'm not sure why some people think Black people have not integrated. Turn on your Tv and if it's not a White face you see it's a Black face. Go to a Social gathering i.e a Club and you'll see many Black faces, at Work there is a proportional number of Black people working there. There is a Jewish community near where i live and they seem incredibly happy with there lives, they don't fight with each other, or steal from their neighbour, take drugs, or take part in riots because they want the latest pair of Nike. Yet to any measure i think is relevant they have not integrated into the English way of life. Traveling through their Town feels like going to a different Country. The Shops have different names, There clothes are different, Hairstyles, Food. Maybe they are successful because they have NOT Integrated, likewise with Asians who give jobs to each other via word of mouth rather than adverts at the Job Centre. Black Urban Youth is White Urban Youth the excuses are different that's all If your Black it's Racism if your White it's no Jobs Urban Youth seem to be growing up without rational thoughts and a fear of consequence. The question is how to fix Urban Youth. On a side note The Riots we're not a Gang thing. I was fascinated to hear after the riots, Politicians talking about "Parts of our society is broken". I thought what a massive statement. Truly we are at one of those watershed moments in history which inspires momentus change, that at last Politicians were going to open up the festering can of worms that is the inability of large numbers of our youth to simply think rational thoughts. I should of known better and when i heard them talking about Gang Culture i did. Politicians are expert at conceptualizing, repackaging, and selling us a false reality. So there going to try and cure cancer with an Asprin and in 10 years we'll do it all again, rinse repeat ad infinitum. |

I guess its because you've always been stuck in the UK for your entire life and don't know what the world outside the UK is like. You probably have never even met a Hispanic person in your life. I've actually lived in the USA and been to PR several times in the last ten years. Maybe you should be googling for info, because you are clearly misinformed. |

And Hispanics make up over 17% of the US population. They happily refer to themselves as hispanic. Not Asian, not Black. So back to my original reference my point stands that they do not all mix. but keep getting hung up on semantics if you think you're winning points. And yes you did look up that info about hispanics...its obvious from your wording that its lifted from elsewhere. Last edited by Zippy; 26-08-2011 at 08:33 PM. |

depends on what type of family they come from and their intelligence
if they are thick AND come from a **** family, they are gonna be a **** if they are intelligent and come from decent family, there is very good chance they will become decent respectable member of society |
