[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s my question: where does it end?  I mean, for those who support this kind of race based decision making.

What groups are deserving of recognition beyond Hispanic?  Are we doing this for every group?  Which ones specifically?

Also, my dear friend growing up had a Hispanic last name, whose father came to the US as a lawyer, and who was a National Merit Scholar.  S/he was racially white and only had white friends.   Is s/he the Hispanic “community” you are seeking to recognize?    [/quote]

I wonder if people like you ever get tired of the lame slippery slope "where does it end" argument.?[/quote]

Well, because it seems like a valid one?  I mean, take APS’ proposed calendar with all the religious holidays.  Where do you draw the line?  Which religious holidays do you recognize and why?  If APS recognizes Group A, then shouldn’t you recognize Group B and C and D?  If not, why not?  As a community, we have to engage in line drawing which makes me uncomfortable.  I would prefer to just trash the religious holidays altogether.  For everyone.  I don’t see this as a totally different analysis. [/quote]
