Haven't heard of Nazis trying to come across Arizona's borders lately. Some evidence that terrorists may have, but not Nazis.
The Nazis are here already.
That's for sure.
You forget, Bob Crane died in Arizona. Coincidence?Guys, that's Hogan's Heroes reruns you've been watching again, not a reality TV show. Geesh.
Interesting, but not that surprising, given that the period chosen covers a large chunk of the economic nose dive, when it got a lot harder for illegals to find jobs in the States. I'd guess the first few years of that period there was still a major flow into the U.S., then a net outflow once the economy weakened.
I doubt it. Nobody keeps track of who is half Irish and half Italian, both of which groups were considered "racial minorities" in the 19th century.
I'd like to agree with you, but I'm not convinced we're that far along, or will be in the foreseeable future.
Well, he did say "the future." I may be taking a longer view.
That is an interesting aspect to Brazil. I'm not sure we'll reach that point for a good while yet. Agreed that you're taking a real "long" term view. Even then, I'm not as optimistic as you though.Well, he did say "the future." I may be taking a longer view.
Brazilian society has a really weird concept of race. I wouldn't say it's healthy -- there's an implied hierarchy where the whiter you are the higher status you are. But it's interesting because cross-racial mating has been a norm for so long that "race" is now almost completely a matter of what you want to choose to accentuate. I'd say the similarity is how Americans think about ethnicity, where we usually have a choice of a half dozen possibilities and we tend to identify ourselves as the one which we think is the most "interesting."
It also leads to the eventual healthy conclusion that "race" is as meaningless as nationality.
And if you are familiar with Brazilians, it also leads to Unbelievably Attractive Human Beings.
