I remember when that whole "Republicans are racist against Latinos" badly bounced against GH Bush. Who calmly pointed out his 'biracial' grandchildren (Jeb and Columba's kids).

Obviously people use stock photography stupidly. Some unpaid internt webbie type person is getting smacked around right now.

The comment on the usnews page by Natali Faní-Gonzá@#$%& pretty much nails it.

This is a whole lotta nothing.

I have a lot of experience looking at photos and trying to figure out the ethnicity of the people depicted. It's not always as obvious as one would think.

That does not in the least bit cancel out Republican racism against Latinos.

The ones Bush the First referred to as "the little brown ones"?

Jason Whong, who used to post occasionally at the old place, once had a web quiz that challenged people to identify the ethnicity of a series of pictures - asian vs caucasian vs mixed. Wish I could find it -it was surprisingly difficult. jason's parents are korean and american/european, I believe.

Yeah, he was the guy who ate creepy-crawlers at NY MacWorld Expo after some Ambrosia software shipped with bugs.

America's slave owners' legacy suffers under the same stereotype . . . even though they had lots of biracial progeny running about, they have still been branded "racist" by posterity.
Unfair...

They can find their way to the corner ice cream shop all by themselves, thank you. But I appreciate how high you think of them.

Old story from February. TIME magazine can't tell who's Latino, either.

Filipinos look like a cross between hispanics and asians.
