Under-educated and possibly illiterate people will tend to say things like that. From what I have come to understand of my workforce, their issue is not skin-color but the language barrier. Thus the issue between them and someone who is Anglo or Teutonic, is Spanish. El Hefe who is hispanic but does not speak a word of Spanish is still called white.

What I do love of hispanic culture is the mom's willingness to hook you up with their daughters. I told one mom that I was going to Puerto Vallarta in a couple weeks...she is wanting her daughter in Mexico to meet me there. I wish all cultures/ethnicities would embrace this.

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
