yes, it does make someone dumb if they think Mexican is a race because it is a nationality, as you clearly stated. That's why you just shake your head in disgust when someone automatically call a person of Latin descent a Mexican because they may be Nicaraguan or something. People don't expect you to know what nationality they are, but I think they do expect you to use Latino or Hispanic.

"Dumb" means you cannot speak! Look it up in the dictionary. If someone thinks Mexican is a race, they are "ignorant" (they don't know any better). Mexican is a nationality, not a race.

Dumb is thinking that a nationality is a race. We're all of the human race.

Here's the definition of RACE:
Race: An ethnic stock or division of humans. Naturalists and ethnographers have long divided humans into a variable number of distinct races. However, DNA and other genetic studies have revealed that that most genetic variation, about 94%, is within so-called racial groups while these racial groupings differ from one another only in about 6% of their genes. This means that there is greater genetic variation within racial groups than between them. The concept of race is a superficial and subjective one. All of humankind is a single species.

If you've ever watched them coming across the border, you would know it was a race! Yeah, that is dumb. Like saying the American race or the French race.

I wouldn't say "dumb" (or for that matter, dumb,dumb, what are we 5 years old?) I would however say that there a lot of people out there who are uninformed, or really couldn't care less. either way, it shows ignorance in any person who uses words improperly.

No, just ignorant. Once you know the difference and continue to make the same mistake, then you're dumb.

Like I said on another post.
First they call you a racist....
"you're just a racist"
Then they try contrived word like Latinophobe..
"you're just a Latinophobe"
And then they call you a Nazi....this time they HISS....
"you're just a Nazi"
So predictable.
And just about the only argument they got.
Except for a bunch of crap about wretched refuse and huddled masses.
Or they make claim about how the illegals built America because Americans are lazy and blah blah blah.
