EDITORIAL - As the reconquista and invasion of the Southwestern United States continues, Hispanics have basically declared war on "gringo culture."

I was recently speaking to a "gringo" (white) friend, who lives in Southern California. Her once predominantly white neighborhood is now 85% Hispanic. Crime has increased 800%, HIV 700%, rape and gang shootings are widespread, and a Hispanic school board recently removed the last of the "gringo authors" from the reading list.

As a result of the ban, like many other Caucasians in California, she has been forced to start a "White Home-Schooling Great-Books Program." They read primary texts, starting with the Greeks and Romans, and work their way through the Western Canon. They study Latin, history (European and British), literature, Christianity, science, and mathematics. I was told, "Without such a program, white children would learn nothing of their European heritage."

Hispanics, for the most part, deplore Western culture. Attached to their native lands, they do not consider themselves Western. Only take a look at Mexico. With the exception of a very small upper class of pure European blood, most Mexicans are either Amerindian or Mestizos (mostly Amerindian with a few drops of Spaniard blood). In terms of genealogy, these people are primarily Asiatic, and consequently they do not identify with the West. It is now commonplace for Hispanics to call for the removal of all "European elements" from their liturgy, and now they are actively removing all white authors from school districts.

The future looks bleak indeed. Unless we stop this invasion, the Southwest (and beyond) will soon be a separate culture and country. And the remaining Caucasians, if they want their children to learn about their European heritage, will be compelled to start white home-schooling networks.
