If Sanchez was born in Spain instead of Cuba he would be "white" rather than "Hispanic".

I believe ethnic studies class turned Rick into the "pot calling the kettle black" bigot he is today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFwDdsYOrt8

A young friend of mine - who's parents were born in Aguas Calientes in Mexico told me the following:

His father, who along with the mother are naturalized, told the young man that he (the father) used think that he was looked down on because he is brown. But after he became a successful businessman he realized the problem is not so much about race as it is about the perception of poverty. So, the father's advice to the son was screw all those people who use "the white man is holding me down" excuse to justify personal inadequacy - work your ass off and become something and you will be respected.
