"To get back to our Anglos vs Latinos story, let me also ask you a question: How come all the toponyms in California, Texas, Florida, New Mexico, etc are SPANISH toponyms? Los Angeles, San Diego, San Antonio, Orlando, San Fransisco, you name it... they all bear witness to the fact that, not long ago, all those cities/toponyms were under Spanish/Mexican sovereignty!!"

so do towns in Fla. and no it wasn't Spanish/Mexican sovereignty, it was spanish and they lost the land ,like the English did with the 13 colonies. Should we give that back to the English ??

So do we give back New Orleans to the French? St. Louis ?

who do we give Fla back to ? spain ? Mexico ?

when are you gonna give your land back to the italians (Romans)
