Belabouring a nonsensical point, but thats what I do

Sure Hispanic is a coined term, as is Latin American and Latino. As is white. "Spanish American" you are coining yourself. I have to tell you, though, it could be easily confused with people who are, you know, from Spain. Which excludes Bill Richardson.

And sure Bill Richardson ran for a while. But this whole exploration of Black Anger is happening because Obama is a front runner, and, at this point a likely contender for the national election. If Bill Richardson had made it this far, the whole conversation would be different. If Joe Lieberman had made it this far, there'd be another conversation all together. Kennedy was the Democratic nominee before his "catholic" speech.

I agree with the intent behind your post, but a good starting place would be involving a couple of premises:

1) Don't generate fresh new generalizations for people

2) Be aware that the stool has more than 3 legs
