We do tend to stereo type; however, it is easy to do. I don't usually encounter the same loud, in your face, behaveior from the Spanish crowd, it is usually the rap bunch. That could be regional, I don't know. The country could use more "white boys" that would stand up to those that would bring everyone down to lower standards.

Ahhhh Grasshopper. You mistake knowledge for wisdom. Knowledge != wisdom. Common mistake. Perhaps the following parable will help.

Once, two bulls were on top of a hill under a tree. An old bull and a young bull. The old bull was laying in the shade chewing his cud and enjoying the day. The young bull was walking around and looking down the hill. Presently he got excited and ran over to the old bull. "The herd is down at the pond!"
he said. "Let's run down there and date a couple of the heffers!"

The old bull chewed for a moment, swallowed and looked up at the young bull. "I've got a better idea." he said. "Let's WALK down there and date them ALL."

Both had the reqired knowledge. One knew better how to use it.


Now, grab this fly from my hand......

Ayup. But wisdom dictated keeping it family friendly. I wasn't sure if the word 'service' would be acceptable.

No, no, no. I wasn't stereotyping any group of people. I was referring to the type of music that I generally hear blasting. As often (or more often even) as not, it is white kids and young adults blasting the rap or salsa music. I think they do it to blank us old farts off. The "whiteboy" comment was a jab at the OP who played the race card.

Just came in from The Valley.We went and payed our respects to the family.We had a little jam session after in his name.Tejamo music may not be mainstream,but its one of the few genres of music that you would be able to hang out with your idols.Its more like a lifestyle.

I've read over all the posts and i'm picking up a little pejudice vibe.I now realize volence was wrong,but I fell like yall are judging a little too soon.Were not all pachucos and homies like yall are making it sound.
