Jose and I have been friends for 15+ years, couldn't ask for a better guy!

I'm a mutt if anything! My father is from Nicaragua, and my mother is white with a mostly french ancestry. However I have both European and Native American in my blood line as well. First and foremost I'm an American and couldn't be more proud of that.

Im hispanic too & also i want to be part of nasa its would be a dream come true.

I'm extremely white, loaded with freckles, but still am from a Hispanic background. My mother was born and raised in Honduras and im just as proof of that part of me as i am the Scottish part. Celebrate your whiteness all you want, but stop hating on others celebrating their heritage.

Not an actor. Has tremendous work ethic and believes everything he says. You should be so fortunate as to know someone of his quality.

Lol no there was no script those were all my own words. I basically provide IT support for Nasa centers across the country and the world My job is pretty cool, we some times get calls from the international space station. We stay pretty busy although I do browse reddit when I can haha.

Just a question. But... if the majority of people that work at an organization are white, then isn't everyday european american heritage day?

[Fergutor]

Mexicans only represent mexicans, not the entire spectre of "hispanics" people. For example in my country most people (about 97% of 40 Millions) is of European descend or of partial European descent (wikipedia), now this is changing quickly by strong immigration from neighbouring countries (in the last 20 years). You'll find in other countries greater diversity, facial features and colours you never saw before.
Anyway, I do think "affirmative action" is extremely wrong. There's a double standard

Okay I have to replay the entire vid because I didn't get anything (I'm distracted that you are cute). Ok, backing off (wedding ring on sight, hahaha...)

[surprisetier]

do you not know what hispanic heritage month means?

[Fergutor]

Well, you should care before making generalizations, as, as you now know, this is not about a race, as much as a territory...thing...
But again, excluding your mistake, you are kind of right. I get why there are those historical reminders, we have them too. Thing is, they exclude the "pride thing" for whites because of the "dangers", the problem is they think that with other races is any different: there, is a real racism.
I'm mostly caucasian, but not white, but yes I get it.

Seems really scripted, like he was told to say all that for the camera. Really I want to hear about what it is he DOES there. Even if its "I send emails and browse reddit all day".
