They assimilate, just as my German and Irish ancestors did when they got here.

Most hispanics I have met do work hard, do try... but there is a vocal minority that want all they can get and we bend over backwards for them.
Every group has a vocal minority that wants all it can get. Why are you singling out latinos? You admit that most of them are just working hard, trying to get by.

Again, the challenge stands, I'd like to see Mexicans wear the Mexican flag on a bandanna and tshirt to a public place (like a school) on the 4th of July and be told to take them off because they may incite a fight.
Basing your opinion on hypothetical situations which, to your knowledge, have never happened is a waste of time. There's no point in arguing with you about situations which exist solely in your imagination.

Part of treating people right is treating them as EQUALS... when you put them into special groups and kowtow to their needs and expect others to be "sensitive" to them while those same people don't give a damn about your sensitivities... it no longer is an EQUAL playing field, but you are putting that group above all else. THAT IS FAR MORE RACIST/ETHNICIST/IGNORANT/ SUPREMACIST THAN ANYTHING I COULD EVER SAY OR FEEL.
Right, well, how about you conflate the actions of a vocal minority with everyone who happens to share the same continent of origin. That makes sense. It makes about as much sense as me using you as a springboard for a rant about all these fucking white people abusing the capslock.
