Who's White ? Who's Hispanic? Who Cares?

I think Jecoby is trying to prove that race is not that important. I ask myself why do we put people into races, like he said in the essay, "hispanics, in other words come in all colors-just like catholics, or veterans, or the elderly". We are all one race, and thats human. Sure on the outside we may seem different but in reality we are much more alike. He stated that is was strang to think that Irish or russian immigrants were once deem "nonwhite". I'm really not sure when Jecoby presented all the stats from the Census Bureau what point he was trying to make. I think he was just stating that "hispanic" can be in any "race". Overall i think Jecoby makes some strong points stating that race is not important because we all just use it as a personal choice.
