They're not American. Quiting using smilies at me.

You're generalizing a whole group.

You've met a few Hispanics, and didn't like them, therefore all Hispanics are bad?

That's blatant all x=y.

That means absolutely nothing.

A statistic on ethnicity doesn't change much.


It actually means quite a lot of if you actually, think about it, rather than spout acceptance and tolerance mantras that are drilled into people's heads.

People are different. Different demographics means different culture, beliefs, values, habits, etc, etc.

Interestingly enough, scientists now believe that the Indians that Europeans first encountered were the survivors of an "Apocalypse" type die off. The cause of this mass depopulation is speculated to have been a disease, but either way, the Indians were massively lower in numbers by the time we reached these shores. Add in European diseases, indirectly caused by us, and it is clear to see why so few Indians are left.

Are you for real, dude? :lol2:
Your nation is like a son. What it does right is your merit, as well as what it does wrong is your fault. When you praise it, be lucid and avoid exaggeration. Praising it too much can make it indolent. On the other hand, when you criticize it, be harsh, but do not ridicule it. Do your best to improve it, not through derision or disdain, but through good examples and dedication.

Also, if you were to deport all Hispanics, not only would you make millions of lives miserable, you'd ruin the economy, making millions of more lives miserable.

Colombian* sir, Columbia is the capital of South Carolina, and as such, Columbian would refer to them. Please don't erase the rest of my comment. You'd be quoting me incorrectly. Just because English as a language lacks creativity when creating names for people from a certain geographic location doesn't mean that what I said was incorrect. Indeed, Americans are all those who were born on the American continent. American also refers to those who were born in the US; as such, a person from Hawaii is American, despite not being part of the American continent.

It's not speculated to be a disease. It was a disease. Several actually, and we know which ones:
Smallpox, Influenza, Plague.

In addition to which rats and pigs destroyed the agricultural practices of the East Coast of North America.

All of which caused by Europeans.

North America is a continent, and South America is a continent. When the America is used by itself, it means the USA. Been that way for a long, long time.

Please re-read what I wrote. Before Europeans even arrived, a massive die off had occurred among the Indians.
