Yes, because the term to use today is Black or African American.

No, 'tis you who can not figger' it out.

Yes they do. "Oriental" is a rug, not an ethnicity or race.

Asians are Asians, not orientals.

"Mexican" is a nationality. "Latin" identifies persons from nations where 
the language comes from Latin. Latinos are Latins from the Western 
Hemisphere. Spanish are people from Spain... very few people in Mexico are

Spanish. Unless you are an Italian immigrant to Latin America, there are
few 
Latino Italians, although in some nations there are many Latinos of
Italian 
descent (as much as 40% of Argentines, for example).

You are quite amazingly ignorant. Now we see where the term "white trash" 
comes from.
