is that kind of reverse discrimination fair? Sorry to butt in... I agree with your points; just have a pet peeve with that term "reverse discrimination". I see it in the news all the time and was just part of a townhall meeting where that phrase was used constantly. It makes me cringe. Discrimination is color blind. Sorry for the rant. Please continue.

Nope... "You got on my case because you believe hispanics only take menial jobs...that isn't the case." You've provided nothing to show otherwise. I, on the other hand, have provided links to several studies that suggest just the opposite. So you are basing your judgement on nothing more than what you believe to be true. The facts show a different picture. As to this: "They are very bright and have not had to overcome the handicap of the American school system mindcontrol." I've have NOT put forward anything to suggest that hispanics are stupid. This is just more prancing on your part and irrelevant to the discussion at hand. And finally: "Often they are handed jobs, great jobs simply because they are hispanic...is that kind of reverse discrimination fair?" This is just more of your opinion. This is NOT based on facts.
