I personally prefer Hispanic culture to white-bread WASP American culture of today (repeat: of today). Many of my friends are Hispanic (I learned Spanish, too), and I am constantly amazed by their strong work ethic, family ties, religious devotion, and love. I prefer their music and love the food. I think it's wonderful that there are so many Hispanics in the USA.

America as a nation obviously didn't exist until the white people founded it. Besides, recent archeology discoveries have shown that another kind of people lived in North American continent BEFORE the Indians came over from Asia. Those people were some kind of caucasians, not mongoloids. So even the claim that the Indians were the first people to live in North America is turning out to a false.

I notice the racist way how you describe European-American culture.
I'm amazed at their high welfare rate, alcoholism rate, abuse rate, AIDS rate, crime rate, illegitimacy rate, and school drop-out rate.
If the Hispanics create such wonderful social conditions, why are their countries such a mess that they want to leave? I find it strange that non-white people only want to come to white countries. Then when they get here, all many of them do is complain about what a racist country America is.

Maybe you should just move to Mexico. Then you could get all the Hispanic culture and people you could want.
