Yeah - I agree that a black man would be elected before a Hispanic man in this country.
There is a lot of talk about minority issues - and as the fastest growing minority in the US- Hispanics have largely been ignored in my opinion.
I think there is still a lot of inequity in this country - and it's not just black/white - there are a lot of other minority groups in this country - you rarely hear about issues facint Native Americans (believe it or not there's more to them than gaming and alcohol), Asian Americans and other groups.
I have a lot of mixed feelings on this subject...yes there is a lot of inequity - BUT it's like some of these people are living and walking stereotypes and are perpetuating very negative stereotypes of minorities...like in my hometown the whole gang situation is out of control - and kids are having kids and perpetuating this horrible cycle of poverty...and well...blah - I don't know...but there are still a lot of issues in this country regarding race...
