As well, people, especially out in LA, have always thought of Latinos as 1. some type of white/Spanish offshoot or 2. mestizo.

Many Latinos are also black; many blacks are Latino.

All these illegals would not come here if the couldn't work, couldn't make a living. That alone tells you that you don't need papers to work here. Virtually none of them would be here if not for being able to work and earn far more money than in Mexico. America is the land of silver and gold for illegal aliens. Don't tell me you think they can't work here, that's just plain crazy.
I was responding to your earlier post saying that it might be ILLEGAL TO REFUSE AN ILLEGAL WORK IN CALIFORNIA or something to that effect.

I know they're being hired, but your post made it seem like the employer has no choice or else they'll get in trouble with California Dept of Labor.

I don't think so. I'm sorry, but Southern Californians are fanatical in their anti-latino rants. There is no way they would classify a hispanic as WHITE if they weren't.
The FBI does. It's a FACT. You can tell this because they don't put a Latino/Hispanic choice in the race breakdown on the uniform crime stats, they actually do a separate breakdown on 'ethnicity' with hispanic and non-hispanic as the choices.

So this skews the crime stats on race because an enormous amount of the crimes perpetrated by 'whites' are really committed by latinos/hispanics.

Default I'm glad I don't live as a color

Honestly this race stuff is silly. I was born this. I was born that. I was born mix with this and that. Whatever society say you are (black, white, mexican, chinese, indan, etc.) It shouldn't matter. If people just saw people and interacted with each other as people, instead of he's a white person, or she's a mexican woman, or they are black people, etc... then it wouldn't matter if the majority became the minority, because we all will see -- PEOPLE.

A race war will never happen, simply because in order for a race war to happen a majority of a so-called race will have to be for it... And that will not happen.

To be real, I wish Christ would just come back today and end this earth and bring forth the new earth... because we as humans have truly ruined the world that we live in.

I don't represent myself as part of a particular race based on my skin color; I represent myself as a child of God, who is part of the human race. And hopefully the majority of people will do the same!

P.S.

I used to be one-minded when it came to race, but now I am completely different -- where I don't care about color of skin, or heritage or what country someone is from. People are people... So Mexicans and blacks in L.A. need to start loving one another, then start loving whites and then everyone love everyone... That's the true will of God.
