You have to remember that racism online is far less than what it appears to be. here on CD you have some people posing as racists when in all likelihood they're probably the very ethnicity of race that they attack. Who are they and why do they do it? Many just want to reinforce a stereotype of those they oppose and have to create alter personas to keep the issue in discussion. Others have vested interests in keeping racism alive even if its just a shadow of what it used to be. They make a living off of decrying it and if there wasn't much to decry they'd face complete irrelevance.Then you have those who just obsess about one issue and it have to constantly reinforce ts importance to themselves and hope to drag others ito arguments. Lastly you just have the angry that project their own attitudes and beliefs on those they oppose and seek to blame them for their own failings in life. Racists come in all colors and ethnicities but the message is the same. And really you can't even say its anti minority its anti anybody different from you.

Don't worry. My prayers are being answered because soon the USA will be over 50% hispanic and the whites will become a minority for once! By 2025 this will be a wonderful time in our great country.

Americans need to "spice" things up and become more social and caring. These are qualities that latinos possess and it will help make this a better place!

Your hatred and racism towards white Americans in your first paragraph comes shining through. What arrogant and bigoted remarks! You should be ashamed of yourself! Maybe millions of illegal Chinese should invade Mexico to "spice things up" and make it a better place?

Hispanics are the majority in 22 countries on the Western Hemisphere. Whites shouldn't be allowed to be the majority even in the U.S? You're proud that this Hispanic majority if it does occur will be due to illegal immigration?

It is said that by 2050 that Hispanics will make of 25% of the U.S. population. Whites will be a plurality (highest percentage but when their percentages are compared w/ minorities, it will be a less). With that being said, I don't wish to see any race disappear, I kind of like the rainbow that we have, which is why I think it's nice to see a balance of integrated areas and ethnic enclaves.
