I come from a Puerto Rican family, and can honestly say I've never met anyone whose called me a spic, or anything else racist for that matter unless we were breaking each others stones.

I will say I have seen far more Blacks and Hispanics go all out and say things about white people, with the white people themselves laughing it off. Its ok for people of color to make fun of white people in any manner they want on a comedy show, but not for white people to do the same...that would just be racist.

I think its ridiculous and aggravating. And I for one feel that a big problem that divides us is not ignoring a problem, its assuming one is there.

What really divides us?

Hispanic-American, Asian-American, African-American (somewhere the Jamaicans and Haitians have been screwed out of acknowledgment) and whatever else-American. What happened to just American?

We're all American. Thats it. And when we try to divide our country into our own communities, and we say we were wronged by this group or that group, we're doing worse damage to national identity.

Only three colors we should recognize ourselves as, Red, White, and Blue.
