It seems like most horse racing jockeys are hispanic.  Anyone know why?

It may have todo with their anatomy,  A good jockey has to be small and light.  But not all jockeys are latin... I know some good american and other nationalities, as long as they are tiny and light, and know how to ride a horse.

I've dated three Hispanic guys. Of course, it's hard to characterize a whole race and not stereotype, but I think you can speak of general cultural traits.\n\nI've found that Hispanic men usually want serious relationships - they're less likely than American men to go out on individual dates. It's more usual for them to be in a relationship, not just going on random dates.\nThey also can sometimes be more jealous than American males. This can be good or bad, depending on what you want.\nThey're also pretty good at compliments and using affectionate names. Better than American guys usually, anyway.

I will say idefinitely that about 95% of Hispanics have med brown, dark brown or black eyed color. Our hair is typically medium brown to dark, we also have people with blonde and red hair..not too often. Many just dyed the hair lighter but is not the "typical" Hispanic hair color.\n\nThere is also Hispanics with green eyes and the most unusual color is blue.  It really depends the country. For example most Mexicans/Peruvian/Colombian have brown eyes(I will say about 98%)  but   Argentinian, Uruguyan, Spanish have higher % of people with green and blue eyes. It really depends the history in the heritage (ex.more Spanish, indian descendentsetc). I hope it helps to answer your question. I personally very fair skin  and I am 100% Hispanic some people think Iam caucacian, so it really depends

I'd say that the majority are mestizo.  The rest are probably mostly of spanish descent with a small amount of other nationalities that have migrated there through the years.

be accepted...From some of the talk I think this has slid race relations back twenties years. The legal hispanics will get dirty looks and receive the same resentment just because of their skin color. I've already heard hispanics this and hispanics that. Dirty, lazy, freeloadin, criminal, gangster, drug dealers and all the other cliched stereotypes.

I prefer Hispanic, because I am, as are many from the Caribbean, South America, Latin America, and some from North America, decendent from the Spanish.  Afterall, the Spanish went around all of these areas conquering all that they could.  Before Spain was called Spain, the area was called Hispania.  Hence the word, Hispanic.  \n\nAnd contrary to what one ignorant person answered, the US was discovered by Cristobal Colon, an Italian, funded by the Spanish with a boat full of Spaniards.  Therefore, the Spanish were here first. \n\nThis country is based on immmigrants, so don't even start with your foreigner crap.  We are all foreigners.   \n\nPlease see the following link:\nhttp://home.att.net/~alsosa/page2.htm

I don't think think Lala is being stereotypical, Pimpslapper.  A lot of Latino men DO stare, and I think it's built into the culture to do that to women.  Seems like it's the Central Americans who stare the most.  Anyway, Lala, being Asian, you may have noticed that some hispanics appear Asian, themselves, due to their heritage, and maybe they think you may have some hispanic blood in you, and they're trying to figure it out.  When I look in the mirror, I see a black person, but many staring Indians have thought I was of Indian descent and were a little irritated that I couldn't speak Farci, Hindu, or another of their many languages.  Lots of staring people in the Dominican Republic were shocked that I couldn't speak Spanish. I've caught myself staring at people who probably think they're white, and I wondered which grand (or great-grand)parent was black.  So much intermingling of races nowadays produces cool results, making people look longer than intended. Next time just ask kindly, "May I help you?" (That's how I find out I simply look like somebody's family member or somthing)  Wow!  Didn't mean to write a book!

Not not Spaniard.....Mexicans are Indians only a small percentage actually have Spaniard & French blood.... if this is not true this which I have "spoken" prove it with facts not rhetoric.  To speak Spanish a Spaniard does not make.

Mexican is not a race.  My friend is Mexican, she is white hispanic.  When she came to the USA she was shocked that she could be considered anything else than palin white.   She found it humiliating to be considered anything other than white and said that Americans were racists for classifyng her as something other than white.  I thought that it was rather racist to consider it humiliating to be considered anything other than white and I told her so.

The Census does make the distinction. Hispanic and race are unrelated. One can be of any race AND of Hispanic origin. The link below has some info on how the Census Bureau deals with it.

Actually, africo(and afr/american) people have a faster twitch response in their muscles. This is a known sports scientific fact.\n  There are bucket loads more black sprinters than white fellas.

Race and ethnicity is one of those while elephants in the From everyone see but no one wants to mention. Because if someone was to say they didn't like to date this or that, they could be mistaken as being a racist. And no one wants to be considered a racist. But as it showed in a recent TV news show. Many people will go into matchmaking and dating Web sites and say they are open to other races, yet only a small percent actually have the moxie to follow through. Unless the annual income of the other person is many 10s of thousands to 100s of thousands more than the usual guy of the usual race they would date. Some are truly color blind, and some Euro women actually like men of ethnic background. But those who are really true to that are far between. Many think of IF it goes to the point of having kids that the kids would suffer by being in between races, and not fully accepted by any. Being in an area where there is one major race like 85% or better. I do not believe they really know or believe who the person really is because they still in the back of their mind rely on stereotypes.

Pat Valenzuela is one of the most talented and troubled jockeys in the history of the sport.  When he ride he wins major races, meet titles, etc. but he has battled substance abuse throughout his career and it has cost him years of time on the bench due to suspensions.  I don't know if he is gorgeous but watching him on a horse is like poetry in motion.

I have looked too and as of yet have not found any fan site on either jockey. All I have really found so far is a short biography on both at the NTRA website. Espinoza's is http://www.ntra.com/stats_bios.aspx?id=1862 and Valenzuela's is http://www.ntra.com/stats_bios.aspx?id=1799  Sorry I couldn't give ya more.

Hispanics are not racist towards Americans.I Think what you mean is that they are embracing the overall perception of americans worldwide. \nBiting the hands that feeds? \nYou kidding me. Are you feeding the immigrants?\nTHEY WORK THEIR ASSES OFF AND ARE UNDERPAID.

This is my opinion only but I believe that white america has such an influence on how we view others that it can rub off on other races that are new to this country.  I am sure that there are latinos that are flat out racist but I don't think that it is as big a problem as it is with the white race.  I know many many many latinos and they are like my family.
