Not many Republicans, Democrats or Pundits understand the demographics of the Latino electorate
Latinos extend across a broad spectrum. The vast majority of us, whose ancestors came decades ago, were immigrants. We came from SOUTH of the Border, whether it be from Mexico or Central/South America. Most of us from South of the Border have been here for Hundreds of Years. My Family arrived in America over 200 years ago.
Yet, the vast majority of Anglos (Northern European Americans - who arrived a century AFTER us) still consider US Immigrants!
I will be discussing this factor and the Latino Agenda on my blog, in detail, in the days and the weeks ahead.

Hi Dee, I'm a independent, conservative leaning Anglo (some Irish descent) who supported Romney. I will admit this was definitely a humiliating defeat. We lost by way of "Brown Out", lol! So I look forward to learning from you, a Mexican-American, about Latinos/Hispanics. We white guys tend to say we like Hispanic girls but we completely ignore or are insensitive to Hispanic/Latino people in general. Plus Hispanics are growing just in terms of births, especially Mexican-Americans. So , I'm all ears and eyes. No appetite for racism but I'll have the frijoles por favor!

Hi Dee,
I'm an Anglo(some Irish descent)guy who supported Romney and will admit we got BO'd. We were decisively defeated defeated by way of Brown Out!! Lol. Sorry don't mean to be disrespectful but this was a turning point election for Hispanics or Latinos. So, this gringo is ready to learn and communicate with you, a Mexican-American, who is part of the fastest growing ethnic group in America by far. We white guys love the Latinas but we are too insensitive to Hispanic/Latino culture, language and concerns. Time to stop demonizing Hispanics and it's time start learning and changing. No appetite for racism but bring on the frijoles, por favor!
Hi Dee,
I'm an Anglo (with some Irish descent) and I voted for Romney. We definitely were humiliated. We were BO'd. We were decisively defeated by way of BROWN OUT! Lol. I don't mean to be disrespectful but it's true. We white guys love the Latinas but we are insensitive to Hispanic/Latino concerns, culture, language etc. So this gringo is ready to learn and change. Despite the slow economy, Hispanics are still the fastest growing ethnic group in America via immigration AND births, especially Mexican-Americans. It looks like The Dream Act and Comprehensive Immigration Reform is on its way. So we right wing gringos have got to learn to enjoy the frijoles..the refried beans, lol.
