Imigrant boycott
My mother is Spanish (from Spain, not South America). My mother has light hair, blue eyes, and light complexion, and I too have those characteristics. According to the US Census Bureau, I'm Hispanic (though I've never used it to gain advantage of government assistance or "affirmative action".
I was telling my friend that I should take the day off for this "hispanic boycott day". She called to my attention that it is not a :Hispanic Boycott", but rather an "Imigrant boycott". I explained that we are all imigrants, except for the Native Americans, and that therefore, only Native Americans should be working today.
Now here is the real twist:
The reason that most Central Americans and South Americans have that beautiful black hair and dark complexion is not their European Spanish heritage (which is normally a fair complexion like other Europeans). It is their Aztek, Incan, and other American Indian heritage that makes them look "hispanic" (so called).
So in fact on Imigrant Boycott day, all the European, Asian, and African Americans should be on boycott, and most of the Latinos and other Native Americans should be the only ones working.
Where is the flaw in my logic?
