Latino People

In my first semester of college I took government, and there was a chart that showed each race and what percentage of that race voted either republican or democrat. The chart showed that nearly 80% of Mexicans vote republican...this was back in the 2000 election. Wish I still had the book because there were a lot of cool charts showing voting trends depending on race, age, education, and ***.

Those charts would have only reflected the messicans that were here legally, and that is only about 15% of the population, so my stance remains the same.

I said they tend to VOTE republican, not that then entire population agrees with republican ideals...

Right. The population that your charts didn't account for VOTE democrat. You jsut can't track them.

You have to be legal in order to vote...so how did they vote yet not be able to track it? You're making no sense.

That's latino...latino does not = Mexican.

In 2000 according to the census Mexican = Majority of the Latino population.

Not seeing any data yet on the actual Mexican vote though, just Latino //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I never said that; learn to read.

Latinos != Mexicans

is different than saying

Mexicans != Latinos

That particular section in my textbook also stated that Mexicans are the only nationality in Latin America in which the majoirty votes Republican...particularly for the two reasons I stated in my first post.

You can't defend your own argument so you feel the need to divert everyone's attention to me? And when did I ever mention "one time?" You have a really bad way of introducing your own wrong assumptions into an argument.
