Don't worry, when we die, we will be sent to location where God has judged us to go.

Amado, I got a question. If America choose to have a Hispanic president to be in the White House for this generation, who would you most likely think to be the president?
I don't know, maybe because tall people tend to have more confidence.
@Amado If tall guys tend to like the attention, than they get excitement from being noticed. Since being tall, they will be noticed automatically in the outside world.
6 ft, 5'11 is usually the minimum height for good confident leaders
Well, he did keep this country together from falling apart. This country can use another man like him in office.
@Amado Oh yea, you know that Ted Cruz took a vacation to Cancun Mexico, when the snow storm hit Texas.
Also, Ted Cruz opposed the New Asian Hate Crime Bill. Which makes me feel that, this guy is a bit racist against Asians.
What do you think about this?
Several vendors today at Olvera Street are actually direct descendants of the original merchants and therefore we are looking at around 3 to 5 generations ago when they first began in 1930.

Why Olvera Street Should Top Your List of Places to See in L.A. (arcadiapublishing.com)
The picture below is Olvera street in 20's before it became a bustling street in the 30's.
As a tourist attraction, Olvera Street has its roots in the late 1920s, when Christine Sterling began a fundraising quest to save Avila Adobe. The oldest standing residence in Los Angeles had been slated for demolition. Her dream expanded to include all of Olvera Street, hoping to restore it to its original Mexican and Spanish heritage. Many of the original buildings were saved in the process, and craftspeople and artists opened businesses along the street, creating a place for visitors to learn about the early history of Los Angeles.
The Historical Origins of Olvera Street
The real history of Olvera Street began with a pueblo built by 44 settlers in 1781. The homes, which were owned by Californios, included Avila Adobe, built in 1818 by wealthy cattle rancher Francisco Avila. The early 1800s Mexican pueblo became the seed of growth for American Los Angeles following the Mexican-American War. Floods, earthquakes, war, the Great Depression, racially inspired deportations, neglect, and restoration have all left their marks on Olvera Street and Plaza.
Today, over 2 million visitors are drawn each year to what is now designated El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. To understand the raw historical truth of the birthplace of Los Angeles, William Estrada, historian and curator of the Historical Monument, has written a book called Los Angeles’s Olvera Street that is packed with an astonishing collection of vintage photos and historical information.
Escusas, pero los Filipinos respetos los mejicanos en Estados Unidos. En de "Delano Strike" Filipinos y Mejicanos en mano y mano vato contra gringos.
People remember Cesar Chavez and Mexican labor workers but they rarely remember Filipinos who were also involved.
True but at least Flips and Mejicanos have each other's side when the Americans pitted one group against the other.
60's and 70's put people with similarities together. Filipinos and Mexicans saw each other as more of the same although Mexicans had a larger population compared to Filipinos and that's why people remember Cesar Chavez and Mexican labor workers.
One big family especially when there's a boxing bout on tv. Filipinos and Mexicans could be in the same room rooting and cheering on their fighter.
I don't hate white people and I have never met a Filipino that hated white people. For the general population of Mexicans, We just wanted to be treated with dignity.
Yo soy explanar historia, pero mi no personal enemigo de los gringos. XD
Sorry if I butcher my Spanish I don't want to use Google Translate.
But Spanish and Mexicans were historically less racist than British and Americans though. Spaniards and Mexicans mix with anyone wherever they settled that's why there are a lot of Mestizos and different kinds of Mestizos in the Hispanic world. But with British and Americans they butchered the Native people they encountered instead of mixing, that's why there are so few Native Americans in the United States compared to pure British whites and so few Australian Aboriginals in Australia compared to pure British Whites.
The history of Spaniards in Latin America is more brutal than the colonization history of the Philippines. I don't think you fully understand Spanish history in Latin America.
Mixing usually means a native tribe alliance with the foreign conquistadors and the rest are very dark.
Yes the Spaniards also killed alot of innocent Native Americans but the Spaniards treated the natives better than the British (Im just comparing the magnitutude since both opressed natives anyway). In British colonies like Australia and America, Natives are almost non existent.
