The legal latino population of the U.S. is a little under 20% depending on where you get your stats. That's more than the black population; yet blacks are way more represented in the mainstream comics.

Thoughts?

i'm not a fan of illegal immigration for a number of reasons...but illegal immigrants are the closest to slaves that the United States has.

Nobody forces them to come here. We've had people deported over 20 times that still come back, we're like the best slave masters ever then.

mentality is different. this is good money back home. work is not foreign to most Mexican people. the 3rd generation ones are pretty much lost tho.

Thoughts? I find it interesting how we've been conditioned to think about race in America. Case in point: it is widely believed that the Kirk-Uhuru kiss in ST:TOS was TV's first interracial kiss. It wasn't. It wasn't even Star Trek's first interracial kiss. That actually occurred in the episode, "Mirror, Mirror" (which aired 13 months before "Plato's Stepchildren"wink, where Shatner kissed Eurasian actress Barbara Luna.

So, to respond to your inquiry: the squeakier wheel gets more oil?
