This has nothing to do with immigration. This belongs in the history section.
I always find it amusing with people such as you, who are probably covertly racist. What is it with putting "Hispanic" or "African" or any word for that matter in front of "American"? Either you are an "American" or you are not.
I could care less if you are: "Hispanic", "African", "Asian", "French", "German", "Hungarian", "Italian", "Japanese", "Korean", "Latvian", "Moldavian" and on and on. We are AMERICANS, plain and simple.
I'll accomodate you this one time:
Luis Felipe, formerly of the "Latin Kings".
Edward Brian Capetillo
Fabian Patillo
"Richard" Muñoz Ramirez, the "Night Stalker"
