I don't know how I missed that completely. When you said he was a white Latino, I thought you were speculating and inferring from his posts.
Doh!

I'm glad the OP realizes that he was (not just sounded) ignorant and is now owning up to and challenging his ignorance. I know that people have a difficult time expressing themselves and their words (in real life and Internet) can be misinterpreted. But, I also firmly believe that people often say exactly what they mean the first time they say it. It is only after others' responses that they might regret what they said, considering the tone and meaning. People like to think of themselves as progressive, polite, and whatever else. They may regret that they expressed their prejudices and a particular tone and meaning but that doesn't mean that it isn't exactly what they meant the first time. Such is life.
