A similar rule of Balknization applies to parceling out the spoils amongst Spanish-speaking trough-feeders. There are essentially three (3) [Hispanic | Latino] sets to appease - Mexicans (including other Central/South American national groups), Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. Mexicans are by far the largest and most widely spread; Cubans tend to be better organized, better educated, and wealthier but are concentrated geographically; Puerto Ricans appear to be the least influential.
A common mistake of the liberal gringo is to think that, just because they are all Hispanic that they have a common set of interests. In reality each group is jealous of its own "rights" and perks WRT the others in much the same way that some blacks resent the rising Hispanic influence in the great American minority-pimping game.
Ron, Ron, Ron... {shakes head} how ever can you talk, with your tongue so thoroughly lodged in your cheek? Feel free to provide links to the paint can from whence you drew your very broad brush.
It appears to me that rather than using a "broad brush", Ron has, instead, succinctly exposed the socio-political substructure of what is usually presented as a monolith for the purpose of political pandering. Yours, Issodhos
