What is the difference between Honduran people and white people?
The term "white people" is usually applied to people of Caucasian or European descent.
The Honduran people are the people who are citizens of Honduras. About 1% of the people of Honduras are of simple European extraction and thus called "white" by some. About 2% are black (strictly sub-Saharan African extraction) and about 75 are native American. The other 90% are Mestizo, having ancestry from two or more of the above groupings.

What did Jose manuel zelaya rosales do for Honduras?
He forced a policy of annual minimum wage revisions which businessmen have began to take more seriously as evidenced by the recent 2-year agreement in January of 2012. This is what government is supposed to do and he set the wheels in motion because in the past minimum wage revisions were few and far between and when they were agreed upon, they were a joke (3-5ppts below inflation) and even if they were agreed upon, businessmen rarely implemented them and the Secretary of Labor never did anything about it.
Im right of center and I had operating costs affected in the company I work for, just like everyone else. But you know what, in the end, my workers are happier and Im sure they are much more loyal. Thats what its all about, without capital investment there is no labor, but without labor there is no capital growth.
So even though I was happy to see him go, because those extreme leftist ties were going nowhere good, fast...when people ask me what he did for Honduras, I say:
"He gave labor a hand, a reason to lift their heads up high!" And doesn't everyone have a right to feel good about themselves and their hard work!?

What does it mean when Honduran's touch their finger below their eye?
Hand and body language is important to communication. Waving the index finger is often used to say "no." Clasping both hands indicates strong approval. Touching the finger below the eye warns caution. And a hand placed under an elbow usually means someone is thought to be stingy. People commonly point with their lips or chin because pointing with the index finger is rude. Beckoning with the index finger also is rude, so people beckon by waving the hand with the palm facing down. To express enthusiasm, they place their middle finger and thumb together and shake their hand, producing a snapping noise. Poorer people tend to avoid eye contact when conversing. Urban gang members have complicated hand signals that they use to communicate with each other from afar. These signs should not be imitated.
What continent is the country Honduras located on?
Short Answer: North America (Honduras is considered to be a part of Central America, but geographically it is a part of the North American continent).
Longer answer:
It's on the narrow (comparatively) strip of land mass beginning at the southern border of Mexico and reaching to the country of Colombia in South America, sometimes refered to as pan-america or Central America, that connects North America and South America.
There are seven countries that occupy this land mass: Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Belize, ranging from South to North.
La llanura costera del
Caribe se extiende desde la frontera con Guatemala hasta la de
Nicaragua (cabo Gracias a Dios). Se trata de una amplia llanura aluvial que penetra bastante en el interior, a través de los ríos que desembocan en el
Caribe: Ulúa, Aguán, Sico y Patuca. La parte más ancha aparece en la Mosquitia, o costa de los Mosquitos; Rica en pantanos, lagos y albuferas. Es una región fácilmente inundable.
La llanura del golfo de Fonseca es muy pequeña. Se trata, también, de una llanura aluvial, pero de escaso desarrollo.
