you still don't see my point. Someone whose family has been here since 1608 cannot be described as "Mexican"
I do have a story about registering an old guy who was apparently Navaho that I believe was homeless because he had a backpack, was sitting on a bus stop bench drinking a beer, and gave the Albuquerque Indian Center as his address, but I don't remember saying that this was the only kind of voter I registered and I am not sure that this would have been a true statement. I did focus on people I believe are underrepresented, but this is a bigger set of people than just "homeless." You assumed. And showed some prejudices by doing so.
