Preference of whom? Has anyone bothered to ask the Mexicans what name they prefer? Is lumping them into a wider spanning group for our benefit because we never bother to find out if they are from Peru, Mexico, etc? I have never never bothered to ask a "Latino" their country of origin, I just ask, Como se llamo? -- and I get the biggest smile and reply. Treating a person like a person is much more important than which generic group you label them.

Get Fo Real, "White" People!
Whatever. No argument here. It's just what I hear being used and I've read more than once in recent years that it is the preferred choice. There's always a new preference, always something more PC. We have a HUGE, and I mean HUGE Hispanic population in the area. Just going by what's accepted around here. No one wants to dis anyone. It's only done out of respect for others.

And, for that matter, I might not be "white" but I sho can get fo real.

The ultimate irony is that I am normally not known as being politically correct. :funn: You guys need to lighten up on me, especially after I acknowledged to 30A Skunkape that I understand now that he meant no harm. Pretty please? :sosad:
That's all I'm saying!
