Hahaha, In Colorado, honestly, It's almost suprising to see a black person. Lanito people are everywhere, but hey, they make great food!
(obviously, I'm white. or at least I look it, I am Brazilian/Native/polish)
Hehehe, I'm glad that I am African-American/Caucasian (Ukranian, Italian, Spaniard, Irish are the main ones I believe). The sad thing is, the northwest is INCREDIBLY white. I was born in southern California in Ventura county and moved north to Oregon along the Willamette Valley, and when there is sunlight on those rare days, you go blind! Not because of the lack of sun, so much as the white people's skin reflecting the light in your eyes so much! XD It's like going snow-blind.
I wish I were naturally tan. Thanks to my very fair and very burnable complexion I have to wear SPF100 sunblock (the most expensive) even on cloudy days. Anything even slightly less won't work.
they say racism is on the rise again here. i haven't experienced it, but like @Zoxiphila i'm a stark white Spaniard(Mexican?)/Navajo/German mix. my brother got the dark genes, every so often something is said to him. but yes. strange paradox. and i've known more rednecks that fake bake than anyone else too!
-sigh-
I actually wish I was tan >:[ Even though I'm Mayan-Spaniard (Weird combo, I know), I was born as white as cane sugar. I spend craploads of time in the sun, and what do I get?
SUNBURN AND FRECKLES ! ! !
:P Wow, I really never knew Americans are STILL known for being racist.
You know... i've been in America a few times and i can say that... the racist pigs are a minority, those idiots are mostly in the south (again, a minority)
So... if you are Latin American and want to travel to USA, just avoid the rednecks and you should be OK.
That stereotype pisses me off... that reminds me... the other day i went to wal-mart and this dude (he was "caucasian") asks me if he can talk to my manager and im lookin at him like "does it look like i came here swimming through a river?"
It has nothing to do with immigration, ya'll- its a question of race/ethnic stereotypes- if the immigrants didn't have the stigma of "sneaking across the border" or altering the white demographic- it wouldn't be a problem. e.g. Scandinavians welcomed......
I'm all for immigration into the country, the country is made up immigrants! All of our founding fathers technically could be still considered British, since they were born under British rule, and many of the most important inventors, politicians, and laborers were immigrants! I'm a mix of Scottish, Irish, German, english, and probably a lot more.
