    I'll get to the rest later, but changing the definition of "white" doesn't help your case. Most Hispanics are not white, they are between 3/8ths and 5/8ths white and 3/8ths and 5/8ths Central or South AmerIndian. The anthropologists' term is "mestizo", similar to mulatto for blacks with an equal amount of white mixture, but many Hispanics think mestizo is an insulting term.

    I'm not changing any definitions. White Hispanics are white.

    Okay, and alot of them are. More than enough to make every statement I've made here true.


    You haven't disputed anything I've said at all.

    You call me a reactionary and a progressive in the same post. You declare surrender on every social issue there is. You defend the horrible situation, both socially and fiscally, this country is in. You call Hispanics white. And you disparage Christianity. You're about as "conservative" as Hillary ****ing Clinton. Less, because she at least gives lip service to traditional American values even if she doesn't believe them. You can't even do that much.

    No, I didn't. I know your reading comprehension is better than that. I called you as far from a conservative as any progressive there is.

    It's not surrender at all, it's a starting point.

    I don't believe that homosexuality will ever attain the position in society that it once did, and I don't want it to. But I also don't want witch hunts to occur in defense of homosexuals or homosexual culture. That's an attainable goal.

    I'm not defending anything, I'm telling you what exists and giving a more realistic prognosis than reactionaries and progressives tend to.

    No, again I know your reading comprehension is better than this. Some significant proportion of Hispanics are white, enough so that America is likely to remain a majority-white nation for the foreseeable future. If you look at the matter from a purely genetic point of view, there is practically no possibility of the US becoming more non-white than white.

    Not that I care that much about race.

    No, I didn't. I'm disparaging Puritanism. We Southern boys may give lip service to chastity, but unlike New Englanders we've always been a rowdy bunch.
