I do think you do have a wicked sense of humor, with your posts
I suppose so. A little off topic but nonetheless relevent: regarding the other ethnic thread I posted I thinks its important for folks outside of the US to understand that
Hispanics are NOT a race! They are a cultural and linguistic group. Hispanic means
spanish speaking; and so there are white folks, even blacks, who could be considered hispanic. "Brown" is a term that latinos, especially mexicanos use to indentify themselves racially. Most Latin Americans are racially mixed between white european and native american; even though in certain countries the people strongly identify themselves with their spanish heritage(like Cubans and Puerto Ricans). But Mexicans however, consider themselves to be descended from the Aztecs. Mexico is sort of the Odd Man Out in Latin America because its the only country in the *New World* where the majority of the people are of predominately native ancestry and quite proud to be so(Aztec, Toltec, Olmec, Zapotec, and other lesser known tribes).
