No, I think he is studying for his Phd, doing his thesis or something. Btw, it wasn't me who said this, merely quoting someone who I think made a valid <em>general</em> point, (people with such views, whether a large amount or not, are dangerous) regardless of whether he got the magnitude right or not.

Again, my concern is that "conservative minorities" become too concern with wanting to appear “fair” and “even” to their non-minority conservative friends that they unwittingly become puppets of the hate mongers. BTW, What happened to that other conservative Mexican? Did he get deported? Yep, so it’s at best silly to bring it up and at worst a sign of something more sinister.

My usage of the term 'minority' is not meant to mean 'ethnic minority', but minority in <em>size</em>. So an even smaller amount of an already small group of people is almost equal to “an immeasurable amount”, don't you think? It's small^2 (small squared), a much, much, smaller number. Okay, I'm just messing (sorta). But I agree with what you said...definitely not any significant number of people, it's “an immeasurable amount”. :-) Actually, my statement does, somewhat, say that, I had said,

So much so, that it is irresponsible to suggest that a “minority” of Mexicans seek this. So, few within the group seek “Aztlan” or a reunification with the “motherland,” that it could only appear as a blip on the radar of a someone pandering to the some of lowest human common denominators- fear and hate. HP, if you changed “small minority” to “an immeasurable amount” than I’d say that you are still overestimating the amount of “Hispanics” that truthfully want the southwest to be reunified with Mexico. “Freethinking” conservatives, me thinks, must take care to not unwittingly become the lapdogs of bigots or those who peddle of hate for profit. “But a small minority, yes.”

If Ben Stein truly believes the miniscule amount of hispanics that believe that way are a bigger concern than Iraq well then hes lost all rational perspective.

Do you really think the average Mexican immigrant is trying to make the Southwest US secede and become part of Mexico? Ben Stein should watch something else if he's nauseated.
