I wore Jesse Jackson's "Rainbow Coalition" pin back in the '60s. It had no words, just a stripe of every human skin color.

This country fought about civil rights, in the streets, not long ago. Racism is still deeply ingrained, though not politically correct, today.

California and Texas were both part of Mexico before they became part of the US. Most Hispanics here are not recent immigrants, just bilingual Americans from a proud cultural heritage.

Anyone from an insular community will have to overcome their "outgroup prejudice-ingroup reinforcement" mentality, should they ever hope to get along. The same goes for Christianity and Islam. The Western view that every other culture is inferior, is akin to racism. IMHO
