Glad you asked
Actually, its quite simple. Not every gardner is Mexican........some are from Honduras, some are Puerto Rican, some are Salvadoranian, some are from Guatemala, some are Mexican and others may be Cuban. The same goes for Orientals/Asians.........some are from China, or Japan, or Taiwan, etc.
If you had to identify a white guy it would be easier to say, "that white ______(fill in the blank)" than it would be to say the Dutch American, or the Euro-Russian, or the South African, etc. The same goes for Hispanic/Latinos........
so yeah......that's why
