Freemasons on the other hand are quite liberal in their mindset.

All except a few founding fathers were Freemasons, however they are agreed that no one but white men should get rights?

No, there are several levels of severity of religious denominations. We have Quakers, who live plainly, and support the warm and fuzzies, and then we have the burn at the stake, Scarlet Letter, Puritans-who I'm pretty sure gave birth to every gossipy housewife on the planet.

That is nice. I like the music very much from the Caribean region (where Cuba is), it sounds very exotic. I have heard that Latinos are very religious but could not find confirmation

Oh yea, we also had an old rivalry going on because Mexico tried to become an empire. Their first claim? Central America. The fiercest opposition? El Salvador; so Mexicans and Salvadorans hated each other for it in the 19th century. Now? It's just soccer matches; but it's not like we hate each other in a hostile manner, some of us are good sports and poke fun at each other :p

That is a long prevailing stereotype of the 60's and long before. The Spanish who were very close with the Vatican came to Mexico and Central America, conquered it brutally and imposed Catholic faith on most of the people there. Thus, most future generations after that were raised to be Catholic, and that pervaded as true, until recent times, where only a small percentage are truly devout, sacramental Catholics.

While I agree with the idea that America assumes that if a white man commits a crime and the victim is non-white, it is immediately assumed to be a racist crime, I don't think there's a war on whites.

It is most certainly about race. Canadians come here all the time--legally or illegally--and nobody gives a shit, but suddenly one Mexican kid tries to hop a fence and everybody loses their shit? Uh-uh, not buyin' it. It's because Central Americans are brown (even when they're not) and, thus, can never be Real Americans (TM).

Why white, non-hispanic? There are tons of white hispanics.

This smacks of racism.

Indeed. Cuba is famous for it's salsa and merengue music. And it was the home to the late "Reina de la Salsa" Celia Cruz, who's one of my personal favorites. Latinos are also a very religious people for the most part, and we tend to follow Catholicism specifically. Though I'm an atheist, personally.

My father isn't part of any movement, but he did grow up in Cuba and defected because of an ingrained distrust of Castro's socialist government. I don't blame him. My grandfather, however, was in the 26th of July Movement. He, like many other Cubans who supported the movement because they were led on to believe that it stood for restoring democracy, voiced his discontent and parted ways with it after Castro's true intentions of creating a Communist state were revealed. He was thrown in jail for some time for simply pointing out the hypocrisy inherent in Castro's revolution. Luckily he was eventually released and is living with my family in the US now.
