[QUOTE=Marley23] Only if all illegal immigrants are Hispanic. And 20 million illegal immigrnats is the highest estimate I’ve ever heard; I’m more used to figures in the 10 million to 12 million range. [/QUOTE] I believe most of those numbers are for Hispanic immigrants only. It may be far less than 20 million. Point taken. I was just wondering if they were counted. ---

[QUOTE=jayjay] I believe African-American _women_ are the fastest-_growing_ group in re AIDS infections. This has a LOT to do with the generalized homophobia within A-A culture and the consequent high incidence of men “on the down-low”, who have unprotected sex with other high-risk men and then go back to their socially-approved girlfriends/wives. But I don’t know that there’s any truth to the idea that A-A have the highest level of HIV in any absolute sense. [/QUOTE] This is actually true… my mother just graduated with a graduate degree in pharam. she did her dissertation on a topic dealing with AIDS and she mention that fact to me. ---

Despite **xxfireangel13xx** ’s mom backing you, I will have to say I’d prefer a real cite. My personal guess would be that Haitians within the African American community are a more serious vector than the occasional blow job getting black man, from the receiver’s end that’s pretty low risk. Urban poverty has been linked to AIDS around the world. I’ve got to think there is a better explanation than “They’re more homophobic so they’ve got more homosexual activity”. ---

I thought the OP was talking about white people sterotypes, but then none were posted. ---

[/QUOTE] Reading it that the “non-Caucasian stereotypes” would be the stereotypes non-Caucasians use for white people.
