I have a Latin surname. I am sure it's cost me in some circles. But in others it's an advantage. At least for me I think it kind of evens out.

Are Latinos over represented in your company with respect to the population? That would be a defensible position for your boss on this. I mean if you had 85% Latinos that could be taken as evidence of some sort of ethnic bias in favor of Latinos.

The Catholic Church is a oligarchic Republic in that the Popes are elected. But only the Cardinals do the electing.

Ranked choice and similar electoral systems are a direct threat to the monopoly on power held by the Dems and the GOPers- which is why we don't have some sort of a ranked choice balloting system instead of first past the post.

Tell us you are ignorant without telling us you are ignorant. A republic of any kind is a state in which the head of state is elected. The US is a representative constitutional republic in which the representatives and head of state are elected- at least that's the theory.
