By demographic changes, I'm not claiming that Latinos are not white. They are white. I simply meant it in the sense that for instance, white Armenians are a little different from white Irish or white Italians. White Latinos have their own culture/ political views to a degree much of the time, but they are still as white as anyone else. I'm not trying to dispute that. Latino voters being this evenly split between the Ds and Rs was maybe something that you saw coming, but no one else really predicted this before Trump ran for office. It's a pretty big shocker for most I would think.

Tell me again how you’re not racist.

Not quite sure what you're getting at here, Boru. Millions of Latinos identify as white. How is me accepting their identity a bad thing? They want to be known as white, therefore they are white. Just like with the Irish. The Irish used to not be considered white, and then they were considered white. Italians used to not be considered white, and then they were considered white. The Grand Nudger called me racist before because I was taking about Latinos and Jews as distinct groups separate from whites, and TGN educated me and showed me that Latinos and Jews have just as much of a right/ claim to be considered white as any other white person. Now I'm being called racist because YOU don't understand what white means, like I didn't understand before The Grand Nudger clued me in on the subject.
You have absolutely zero evidence or quotes showing me posting anything racist, so you have to resort to calling me a racist because I call white Latinos white when that's what they want to be called? You're losing it, grumpy old man. You are the one who needs to learn to show some respect to white Latinos and start calling them what they want to be called. It's called having courtesy and respect for others and respecting and affirming their identity. Get with the times.
