Reply #84: Sometimes it's not exactly bigotry

[MUSTANG_2004]

Some of bigotry isn't so much a dislike of a race, as being more comfortable with your own "clan".

As far as my experience, I have an obviously Hispanic name. In college I saw that "John Smith", a friend whose work experience was almost identical to mine, got far more calls for employment than I did. I doubt it was blatant anti-Hispanic bigotry so much as, when given a choice, people prefer to deal with people who they most identify with. And, unfortunately for me, more people identity with "John Smith" than "Juan Carlos".
