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.

That says a lot about how racist people are in Hollywood. I can't imagine that in Houston.

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.

Careful, you're treading close to admitting that assimilation and actions and values make a difference as opposed to white 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.

You need to work on your projection.
