    That's not a swastika, it's a Buddhist symbol seen from the back.

    I was wondering when the first Ricter Riddle would come out. Well done! You're finally back!

    Not much of a riddle, the mention of "symbol" pretty much give away the analogy.

    I'll admit, it wasn't your best one ever, but it was still good. When people have to look around and wonder where you're going with something, it qualifies as the ole' RR!

    Of course, old friend. The Ricter Riddle is never about me not understanding.

    52 percent of Mexicans identify as white in 2010.
    More recent surveys I read put the number in the 70s.

    A similar preference for whiteness is present among Hispanics who select a single category as their racial identity. In the 2010 census, the majority of Hispanic respondents, 53 percent, said they are white, a mere 2.5 percent said they are black, and more than 35 percent chose a category other than black or white (some choosing "Hispanic" itself or their national origin as their racial classification). A majority of "single race" Hispanics selected a white racial identity.

  10. Nothing was said about his background, some triggered C U Next Thursday decided to snap a picture and report the guy and his employer decided it would turn a deaf ear to reason and fire him.

    As for Latin America, every country has people who go from white as a sheet (no pun intended) to midnight due to ancestors from Spain, Africa, the Carribbean and local natives. I have been to maybe 10 countries or so in Latin America and they all have rainbow colors, there is no such thing as one color from any of those countries.
