Ted, > White Americans, not unions, are freaked out about illegals because they threaten the white domination in this country.

It's much more complicated than that.

No it isn't.

Basically it's all about cultural assimilation. Hispanics tend to resist cultural assimilation more than Africans, Asians, and even Native Americans. Lots of reasons for this, not the least of which is the divide-n-conquer mentality that has infected politics.

BS. One of the attorneys in my last job was second generation Latina.....from a family of 13 kids. She was extremely articulate and attractive and was a hot dresser. And she had her law degree. There are many second generation Latinos in her position.

We weren't dating but were friends. I invited her to go with me to a party at Paramount studios. During the party, three separate white folk asked me why I brought my maid to the party. That was in 1995.

The only difference between Asians and Latinos is that Asians make the transition during the first generation. I can't tell you how many Asian women I met who spoke sh*tty English but dressed and acted like a typical American.

There are lots and lots of exceptions, of course, and my goal in life is to make the exception the rule. But it starts with an awareness of the problems, not denial based on fears of racism.

I think you are over intellectualizing the problem. Racism seems to be almost instinctive......at least when you're white. I deal with my own racism nearly every day.
