Obama to propose two free years of community college for students

I studied the Franco-Prussian War in high-school. It was even part of the Spanish equivalent of the SAT.

Was the American Mexican War on El SAT as well?

No, we pretty much ignore you. Serves you right for stealing our colonies.

My crazy California Republican uncle has your back, dawg.

"All these fucking dirty Mexicans, blah, blah, blah, hate, hate, hate, Obama, etc."
"Um, it wasn't named 'San Diego' just to be rustic and quaint, you know.  You realize they were there before you, right?"
"No, those were the Spaniards.  Completely different!"

Though they were in the closet for the longest time, most of my family in Southern California are actually Republicans (well the older generation, my generation is mostly still liberal Obama-lovers ). Never was particularly racist though given that nearly all married other races (i.e. Mexicans).

Guess I could emigrate there, then!

Good thing people who have sex with members of other races can never be racist.  I've got a Get Out of Liberal Jail Free card for everybody but Latin Americans.

What makes it even funnier is, since my aunt is of Portuguese decent, they're all up on the historic genealogy of Portuguese settlement of central California.  But it doesn't involve Mexicans, so I guess that's OK.

I think it would be weird to be married to someone of an ethnic group that you were racist about / that your children were members of. Possible but a bit more unlikely than your posited scenario.

Portuguese ancestry? Well, even less so than your Irish symbolic side, so meaningless.

Why do people care so much about ancestry?
I blame it on the internet.

I find the Franco-Prussian War interesting and the accomplishments of the great Bismarck should be taught in high school.

I would have never guessed you would be for teaching the origins of the European welfare state in high school.

Hell, I'm for teaching basic financial and money management in high school.

Thought that we did.  At least we did in WV high schools in the late 1970s.

We didn't in MA in the 2000s.

Please explain.

We discussed Bismarck at length in history class. As a matter of fact, my teacher was quite the admirer of his foreign politics.

Yep.
