Pues latino no es una raza así que cualquiera de por sí puede serlo mientras nazca en latinoamerica xd
Finally!!! Someone who knows that "latino" or "hispanic" IS NOT A FREAKING RACE.
The Latins are the people of Southern Europe The Italians The Spanish The Portuguese The French and the Romanians. The Latins are the Mediterranean people of Europe. If you're not European you're not Latin/o.
The latins are not people from southern europe.
The original latins were the tribe that founded Rome. But Italy had plenty of tribes even before the latins settled in. So did France, Spain, Portugal and Romania (dacian for example).
The Latins you speak of are only people who speak romance language. But language doesn't equal common ethnicity.
Foc4ccin4
Do Americans realize that the original Latins (Latinos) are the Italians?
The Italians are the one and only, real Latinos under Cultural and Racial heritage.
And to a higher extend, of language adoption, so are the French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanians, aka (White) Europeans.
The French are racially Celts (Gauls), but linguistically latinized under the Roman Empire
The Spanish are racially Celts (Iberians), but linguistically latinized under the Roman Empire
The Portuguese are racially Celts (Lusitanians), but linguistically latinized under the Roman Empire
The Romanians are racially Wlachs (Dinaro-Mediterranean shepherds) latinized under the Byzantine Empire.
As for the Americans...
The people from Latin America (North/Central/South America), such as Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Puerto-Rico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, Haiti, Peru, Paraguay, Panama, Colombia, Argentina, etc.
Those are definitely NOT Latinos, and there's nothing Latin about them.
They are just a bunch of Native Americans (Amerindians), Mestizos and Mestizos, playing identity theft, because the US racial census, made it that way.
The Italians are the only real Latinos, as they started the Latin culture during the Roman empire, and no one else is.
In another words:
Latinos are White-Europeans. NOT Brown-Americans
My thoughts exactly! P.S. awesome last name 😜
Francis in Italian means Frenchman which in Italian is francesco
Imagine being a Asian Latina
So hot !
Many people in Peru is Asian
That would even baffle the Americans more, which I think it'd be interesting to see how people would react.
lara your more asian/china than anything else, but im sure you love claiming latin lol everyone wants to be latino nowadays
HipHipJorge ! no shit payaso, doesnt mean their latino by blood. by them flocking west like they always do then yes they in essence grow up in latin culture and customs.
In France, people used to think that I was french, and when they realized that I could speak Spanish they thought I was Spanish. 🤦🏻♀️ But they weren't rude when they found out that I was from Latin America, on the contrary, they were all the time asking me about our culture and stuff. In the US is other story, tho.
Es normal que pensaran que eres española, Francia tiene frontera física con España por tanto la inmigración y turismo español son comunes, y la diáspora española del franquismo es grande
Which part of france was it?
A lot of times things like these are a reality check for Americans (as in USA) and even Americans of Latino descent who even take offense in being called white if they actually are, a lot of these people they label as non white, figures like Pedro Pascal, Alanna Ubach, Rita Moreno, Diego Boneta, Guillermo del Toro, Bob Menendez, Luís Miguel (who's parents are actually from Spain/Italy) etc, if any of these people lived anywhere in Europe (and wasn't famous obviously), they would be seen as natives Europeans, my grandma herself was green eyed, light brown hair, pale af skin, parents were fresh off the boat from Spain, they were basically white Europeans but sometimes she still got sort of...."kicked" from the white club, rhetorically speaking, because her last surname was Pérez and Americans can't grasp the idea that Hispanic names are originally from Europe.
I also have the theory that it was white Hispanic's fault to a degree this phenomenon even came to be, a lot of white Hispanic celebrities back then (particularly of Spanish/Spain ancestry) would change their names to seem more apealing to American WASPs ( people like "Rita Hayworth", actually called Margarita Carmen Cansino, "Martin Sheen" a.k.a Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estévez or other who did the same) basically helping consolidate this false idea that Hispanics can't possibly be European.
Lucky you. For us Asians the US is whole lot better than, say, France, in terms of discrimination.
There is no such thing as "latin america". Its just the Americas, divided into north america, central america, and south america.
I’m a white Latino but whenever ppl hear me speak Spanish there like “ YOU SPEAK SPANISH” and I’m just sitting there like yea you never seen a white Latino before
Juliettewashere_1010 Corletto exactly lmao . Anglo Americans remain ignorant till this day I feel bad .
@@zzzr6765 it's not just anglos, I get surprised looks from Latinos as well. It's even better when I am with my brother who looks latino, because people are always shocked when he has to ask me to translate.
I think people have this north south america / mexico stereotype of latin smerica where there is higher concentration of darker skin (mixed race)
Thot Tamale #2 same lol I’m white like milk pero hablo español
@@ViceCityExtra yes I agree that's what most Americans see Latins as. America has this obsession with race

Maybe because Arabs invaded Spain?

I live in India and I'm a white Latina. Everyone asks me all the time where I am from, they just can't understand that Chile is not a city from Spain or Italy
i feel like chileans go through this alot lol
jajajajja igual soy Chilena, blanca y cabello claro. Nadie entiende que en sudamerica hay gente blanca. De hecho una vez alguien me dijo " where's your accent from? you're white how can you speak Spanish "?
Same.I don't look chilean but I am! I look like my mum tho,I look European😂
That's awful. I'm mexican and even some mexican people think I'm from another country.
Real latins are from Europe African and native feature don't look Latin my friend is from Spain they put him down as non white he whent back to Spain his parents are your white what's wrong with USA
I dedicate this to Tony, that dude in high school with the blondest hair and the bluest eyes. Every time Tony spoke Spanish, he had everyone shook...for four years straight. LOL.
Where was Tony from. I have very light skin and blonde hair but I'm from Mexico
He was mexican?
@@Lilhajxjk274 Tony was born and raised in the US, but both his parents are from Brazil. He speaks both Portugese and Spanish because Portugese isn't really spoken here, so he grew up trilingual.
There are a lot of blond Brazilians
Yet, those same people who are surprised that someone with blonde hair and blue eyes would speak native Spanish, are never surprised when someone speaks English and usually expect everyone to speak English.
im a blonde haired, blue eyes colombian. you can see how i relate to this. especially when i travel
me too,but I'm from Brasil
laura petruci there are almost 100 million white people living in Brazil so I’m not surprised
Same i'm a blonde haired Colombian. :^
We're from Los Altos, a region in the Jalisco state of Mexico, that was heavily influenced by Europeans. We're light-skinned, brown-eyed, and have brown hair.
I’m a brown haired, green eyed Colombian 😂
“You don’t look like brazilian”!
The problema is how to answer that in a polite way.
Ehat they don't know is that Brazil has like 100 millions of white people
If you're interacting with an American, tell them that "you don't look American", and this gives them impression that multiethnic countries do not have a specific look.
just say "thanks"
I always say. "Really what are people from (place country here) supposed to look like?" and then stare at them.
Say "vai tomar no olho do seu cu" and when they ask you to translate you say it means " oh, i get that a lot"
"You don't look like you're Argentinian!"
Oh really? How many Argentines have you met again???
Frankie Müeller anyone can get a citizenship in Argentina and be Argentinian
One of my friends is Argentinian and Russian. Argentina y Rusia!
good thing is that most of north american people dont even know where and what argentina is they only know our steaks and messi
VIVA ARGENTINA. NO SEAS BOLLUDO. jajajaja
im Argentinean too and i get the same comments lmaoo
They don’t know the european diaspora ? There is a lot of white in Southern Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.
Same thing in Colombia and Venezuela a lot of white with blond hair
Yeah my whole entire family is Venezuelan and we are purdy white. My cousins have blond hair and blue eyes.
Blades Of Grass same for me and I’m Mexican.
I´m Venezuelan...the 50 per cent of my friends are white
Luis Sánchez i live in mexico Im Colombians and a lot of Mexicans look white …
@@skatergirl7846 Yeah people forget Mexico is whiter than they think. The distribution in Latin American countries is mostly white. Then comes the native, which there is a lot of too, and the rest.
The thing that most north americans don't understand is that we can be white the same way they are white, immigration/colonialism. I don't go to the USA and ask people why they don't look native american. Besides, the whole thing is really racist.
Who said North Americans are only white? There's all types of people born and raised here.
pero porque crees que en estados unidos somos todos blancos? yo soy blanco, y no latino, y hablo español... casi la mitad de la población de mi estado es hispana. somos una mezcla bonita de razas distintas. jaja me parece que no somos nosotros que no entendemos....
nenaj1
Noah Hughes Never said that. In fact I said that not everyone in the USA is Native American due to Immigration. If your mind jumped to the conclusion I meant that everyone else white is not my fault. But to clarify, yes, I'm aware that not all Americans are white. Happy?

yayrwe Also if you are Eurooean descent.European descent is not the same as European.Pope Francis is from Argentina.Actual peruvian president Pedro Kuchisky born in Peru and is Europan descent not Eiropean.Learn the difference.
yayrwe He is from french and basque descent. White means european descent, and european means born in europe. Get your facts straight.
yayrwe Whatever, same happens in argentina, the difference is that instead of english people, italians, spaniards, germans and french people came here and they took the spanish languaje. Argentinian culture looks really closer to european than american tbf

@@luiznunes1404 by nationality yes. But if they have no European member in thier family. Then genetically no. But if yes. Then they are mixed race. Does that answer your question?
Latin is not a race, is a culture
Yes but its not the same culture at all. Actually latin derives from roman languages. Many country´s from europe are also latin.
Argentina has not the same culture than mexico and mexico has not the same culture than brazil.
Its not all the "same" thing. Not at all.
You can be a black hispanic, white hispanic, native american hispanic, asian hispanic...
Latino is a term used to lump several cultures together.
A friend of mine from Spain, who is blond (and white of course), went to the US and marked Caucasian, but then, the woman she had to give the paper to saw her name in Spanish and told her "not to be ashamed of her Latina heritage" (she is from Spain, so she is not Latina but the woman felt free to teach her what she was!). So the next time my friend filled in Latina and had no problem so she kept marking Latina, until one time another lady told her she was white, not Latina XD.
Not even Americans understand their damn registration!! We change race depending on how nosy and informed the person giving us the registration is lol
Lucas, you gave outstanding examples. "Latino(a)" often means mixed with Indian or Mexican-Indian to many American whites who wish to "school" people from countries where Spanish is used. "Spanish" is often seen as an "native" tongue, too! What! Not Europe! That lady should have said, "I'm not Azteca, and why should I fee shame for being brown or native if I were?"
I once filled out an application and put down white, I was told by the lady behind the counter I am Hispanic because of my name. I gave her a brief history lesson, and she seemed frustrated about it.
Many latinos are white as well
funny. the thing even the USA scholars throw the word around a lot. latino is not a race, and should be corrected, Latino should not be there. your friend is indeed latina because she speaks spanish. my point the latino should be put on language of origin section. like i said the word was thrown around like a pizza and now lays on the floor and many spaniards don't want to be associated with it. your friend is white caucasian from latin / spanish origins
Brazil has like 100 million white people as well as Argentina, Uruguay. In my country, Venezuela people is mostly mixed but all my ancestors have European ancestors
ITs The Same For Us Dark Latinos
Real talk
Think that's bad? you should see chinese peruvians
There is no such thing as dark(black) Latinos. Latinos son solo los que tienen origen de sangre del sur de Europa, decendientes del viejo imperio Romano. Los verdaderos Latinos son los Espanoles, Italianos, Portugueses, Franceses y Rumanos. Los Latino-Americanos somos la gran mayoria en Latino America y por eso nos dicen Latinos, pero ustedes los negros son Afro-Americanos, no hay diferencia entre ustedes y los negros de Estados Unidos o Haiti. Es como la Palabra Americano, Americano es una persona nacida en Norte, Centro y Sur America, no solo las personas de Estados Unidos son Americanas, eso es pura ignorancia!
manzanaresantonio There are a bunch of people of Hispanic origin who share a darker skin tone because they live predominately on the equator. Zoe Saldana is a famous example. Also, saying that "true" Latinos are only those who are descendants of the Roman Empire is incredibly wrong and prejudiced. (In fact, it rather evokes the thought of another "true" race, that of the falsely named Aryan one.) Besides, "Latino" originates as a Latin word, not American, and was in turn adopted by the Spanish language in America. Ultimately, people can be what they choose to identify as - you choosing that for them only makes the prejudiced bigot.
cfG21 for that matter, cuban-chinese
As a white latina born, raised and currently living in Sweden (family from Uruguay), I can relate so much to this.
Even as a spanish teacher I get questioned if I learned spanish in school because I don't look latina.
It's also not weird for people to stare when they hear me speak spanish or ask a latino/a who looks "right" if I speak proper spanish.
As a teen I hated that I did not look more latina than I do, the crazy thing is, I still don't look Swedish so people often assume I am from Bosnia for some reason.
Because Bosnians are Light skined and Black haired Turks.
@@Slovenia132 Bosnians are not turks tf
@@amazingkids9770 yeah well, the US is a bit weird, some are proudly americans, others are Americans but they strongly believe they are their parent's ethnicity/culture even if they don't even speak the language.
Oh same goes for OP here, perdón amiga pero sos nórdica. Tendrás "raíces" y valores uruguayos pero también naciste y creciste allá, fuiste a la escuela allá también supongo, o sea que tmb tenes cultura y valores nórdicos. A menos que hayas venido seguido de vacaciones y hayas crecido algunos años acá. Pero si, descendencia latina, pero sos nórdica, así como tus padres seguro son hijos de europeos pero son Uruguayos porque nacieron y crecieron en Uruguay.
Hola ! Has conocido cara a cara a la verdadera raza blanca,el asunto es que tanto los uruguayos y argentinos de origen mediterráneo siente perder status frente a los nórdicos y se siente acomplejados.
Porque los nórdicos no necesitan autodenominarse Blancos con sólo verlos corresponden al estereotipo representante occidental en todo aspecto, físico, simetría facial,altura,poder adquisitivo y Status Quo,en el caso tuyo aunque tengas piel clara no formas parte de ésa denominación cualquier africano, asiático o los mismos nórdicos te ubican entre españoles árabes,italianos o turcos ,franceses,portugueses y manifestarse blanco significa :Yo tengo privilegios!!! castiguen a los de piel oscura a mi no porque tengo la piel superclara,lo lamento pero las diferencias raciales te afectan a ti también.
"U brazilian right? So u speak spanish, cool"
Dirían los brasileño. Kkkkkkkkk parebens estupido jajas

@@luisperedah Latino es el que habla lenguas romances (Descendientes del latín, idioma oficial del imperio romano), las cuales surgieron en los territorios de las actuales Francia, España, Portugal, Italia y Rumanía.

yessss
Joshua Kent I know that, but sometimes I feel Mexicans think they are the center of the universe in the Latin American/Spanish speaking World....And I'm Mexican also, so I can confirm this.
fatheadsnake yess. I'm mexican but I get mad when people think everyone that speaks Spanish is Mexican! like there are like 20 other counties that speak Spanish !! also I hate when they think it's a race. this girl last week said her favorite race was Mexican -.- I had to correct her
Tell that to f*king Trump 😏
The story of my life. “ but you are too white to be latina!” “Your Spanish is great! Where did you learned it” “but your parents are European, right” 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ So many stereotypes
They’re uneducated lol.
I'm a white latino from Uruguay, I don't dance and I don't get tanned. In fact, I spend 30 minutes in the sun and I'll be redder than a tomato for two days
Nahuel Martínez me too ahaha
Try going outside for an hour with 30 SPF and then putting aloe vera and lotion on after whether you think you’re burned or not
That should get you a tan
Nahuel Martínez ,, if your italian, ok latino, others wise, white guy
too real man, too real
White American: how do you say that in Spanish?
Me: I dont speak Spanish
WA: but you said you were latina!
Me: I AM FROM BRAZIL
WA: oh
WA: but they speak Spanish there, right?
Also the caucasian or latino one. So fucking true.
another issue the latino non spanish speaking like brasilians, haitians both speak a latin language
The thing people don't realize is that Hispanic and Latino/a is not the same thing.
Latino = From Latin America
Hispanic = Speaks Spanish
So someone whose from Brazil (like yourself) can be a Latina, but not Hispanic.
The same goes for someone from Spain, they are Hispanic, but not Latino.
Haha
LivelyJaded im sorry but that is totally wrong. being LATINO has nothing to do with the american continent per se. its not like latin americans woke up one morning and asked themselves "what are we going to call ourselves?" and someone asnwered "i know why not latinos, it sounds cool". i hope you people from americas and by that i count both anglos and latinos will realize that the american continents are not the only one in the world so there has to be a back story. to cut the story short HISPANIC is a an ancient latin word that meant iberian peninsula and later the term was used to denote spanish origin. so spaniards ARE both HISPANIC since they are of spanish origin and no one is more that. and they are LATINO since they adhere to the LATIN culture which they brought to what you call today LATIN america, otherwise there wouldnt even be such a place called that. so how can latin americans be true latins and the people that brought the latin culture there not. totally nonsensical. on the other hand brazilians are LATINOS also because they same as spanish people follow the LATIN culture but they are not hispanic since they are not of the spanish origin. however the term used for their heritage is LUSITANIC (please check this out and spread the word, im sick and tired and a little bit ashamed of latinos not knowing themselves this) so spanish and their colonies HISPANIC and LATINO , portugal and brazil LUSITANIC and LATINO.
Luis Alves What you stated about the Spaniards is true, about them bringing the Latin culture and I will accept my mistake in that. However, you misconstrued what I said entirely. I did not say that Latin Americans suddenly decided to call themselves by these terms; far from it as the U.S. typically came up with those two terms to more or less, bunch us all up into categories and it was made official in 1997 (I believe). All I simply stated was what Latino/a and Hispanic meant and why they were different from one another as many do not know this. (And typically, if you are not in the U.S. you don't really need to).
But I did not know about the term Lusitanic, so thank you for that bit of information.
why in america do people need to tell their ethnicity?
Tecnovlog for the census like so they know, 50% of blacks are the ones going to private school, s I they know that 7 percent of Californians are asian, things like that
and why are these informations important? why do you need to know the color of the skin of students?
Because they are obsessed af?🤔
School districts use info in order to determine the necessary programs needed, track progress for low-income students "at risk" of dropping out, and promote opportunities more fairly (not just the higher income/lighter skinned students). Its usually all in an effort for equity. But at jobs it has to do with equal opportunity and catching trends, in case one would have to provide evidence of discrimination against minorities.
I had to pretend I was white growing up in America just because it was easier than having to play 20 questions on why I wasn't really Latino to both Americans and Latinos. Are you adopted? Are you really Latino? What's your last name? What part of Mexico is that from? Are you legal?
In America they try to press this belief that where you are from, where you grew up, or the color of your skin is more important than your accomplishments. I've lived in the south and its sad because there are people from both sides who try to bridge the gap and make this a thing of the past. There was an older pastor who tried to hand out cards to welcome Latinos to his church when we went to a Mexican mart. People just ignored him when he offered them cards.
My family was so terrified of interacting with Americans because of how they treated us on first arrival that over time, it was easier for people to just use my Americanized name instead of my Spanish one. There were times I remember going to restaurants, and a waitress asked me if I was looking for my parents. Look on her face when I dashed over to my mom who was darker than me.
People are people no matter where you are, my advice?
Get to know them before you judge them. If they treat you like shit? You keep your guard up and you avoid them as best you can.
Some people are worth giving a chance, Most aren't.
Its heartbreaking that in America I had to learn when to pretend to be White and when to 'act' as Latino.
But hey, at least I'm not starving or dead like some back in my home country.
Questions to add.
"What part of Mexico is that?"
"You're not really Latino though, right?"
"Where did you learn to speak Spanish so well?"
Examples of possible situations.
1. The Double standard. - "Let's not try so hard", Answers the phone, talks to person in Spanish before answering you in English.
2. Assuming when in a group of Latinos. "Oh you speak Spanish? Why didn't you say so?"
3. The Safety net about talking bad about you - This one kind of changed because when I was in school in America we were not allowed to speak our native language because the teachers thought we were talking about them. - "Mira ese gringo, tiene la nariz tan grande", "No soy gringo, y eso fue necesario" Cue the awkward silence and embarrassment proceeded by either acting like they were only joking or they are deeply sorry.
Them: if you’re Mexican then why are you white?
Me: because of la conquista...
Them: la what? Is that a place in Mexico. It sounds exotic!

Es por esto que los Estados Unidos es un país lleno de tontos y también tiene una sociedad demasiado confusa. En otros países uno ES de donde nació. Soy asiático pero nací en Peru que significa que soy latino. Nací ahí, crecí ahí, mi lengua nativa es español, mis costumbres son peruanas y por lo tanto soy PERUANO! Qué tendría poner en esa solicitud reestúpida de “raza”? Asiático y latino/hispano?
Yo no quisiera ofenderlos ni decirles que son tontos pero definitivamente tienen una sociedad muy confusa. Y no se dan cuenta del respeto que le faltan a otros países. Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, si eres asiático pero nacieste en perú y creciste ahí eres peruano. PUNTO.
De acuerdo con tus palabras, en otros países uno es de donde nació o es de donde creció y ya.
Soy de los Estados Unidos y estoy de acuerdo contigo. Ni todos nosotros pensamos iguales. Claro que sí, los latinoamericanos se identifican con sus nacionalidades, pero debido a nuestra historia de segregación racial en nuestro país, raza es más revelante porque mis antepasados fueron discriminados, torturados, matados en su propio país por ser negros hasta 1964 cuando ganaron derechos civiles.

@ItalianProud Wtf?
@swantonBombedYourUncle Racist much!
I was born in Uruguay, my family come from all over the mediterranean sea. I'm light skinned, green eyed and brown hair with lighter beard. I was told about three times while living in the US, how I'm not white, Americans have some crazy ideas about race.
@LibsDrawingMuseum because many people in the US believe that only Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian and a few other groups are white. Many Americans wouldn't see Portuguese, Spaniards, Greeks and people of the Mediterranean as white. And even at an official level, in documents for example, they classify people as "white white" or white-hispanic etc. They have an obsession with race and for them being white is almost like belonging to VIP group, sad.
@LibsDrawingMuseum also, the intereating part is that, if I don't talk, no one would say I am not white, but the moment they hear my accent is when they put me in a different racial category.

If Americans view Hispanics as all one race because they all speak spanish, then do they also view themselves as all one race because they all speak english?
As a joke - I have been calling them Anglonics. If there is an African-American who is intruding into Spanish-American culture, and insist that I am not white, but Hispanic. I tell him "So you must be Anglonic since you have an English name and speak English?" They don't like that. Or I am speaking with a fellow American, and I ask him or her "So... if a Native American has an English surname, in example a Cherokee named Smith. That means he is English? Oh, they have a conniption. LMAO.
Xsell, most Spanish speakers are not white in the U.S.
@@ramonrodriguez6586 Okay that particular African American guy was ignorant. What I think he was trying to say or what he was implying is that you aren't a White American. In the USA, the terms black and white sort of double as racial categories and also two different ethnic groups in the USA. He wasn't articulating what he was trying to say correctly. What do you mean by "intruding on your culture"? 60 million plus Latin Americans come to our country within a span of 70 years, bring their music, languages, food and culture and you expect that to not have an influence on us? We're mostly in our own country by the way, you came to the USA, so don't call us intruders if we're genuinely taking an interest in your culture or are curious. I speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese, my wife is Brazilian and I've been a permanent resident in Brazil for the past 7 years, I've been heavily exposed to many different nationalities from Latin America in my hometown of Philadelphia which has a significant Latin American community, so I do know a bit about Latin American, geography, history and racial demographics.
@@ramonrodriguez6586
Actually the proper term is Anglophone/Anglicized.
Also all A.A. don't have an English last name, some have Spanish surnames, so your joke is falls flat.

¿Por qué los estadounidenses están tan obsesiónados por el color de la piel?
No creo que seas tan tonto que no sepas por que.
Yo sé, vivo en Chicago y es la verdad
salalala Es porque a muchos estadounidenses, nos acostumbramos a ver el color moreno cuando reconociendo latinos; nuestros vecinos, compañeros, profes, etc., todos son morenos. Mi mejor amigo es mexicano, es moreno, pero su madre es blanca; muchas personas están sorprendido que blancas viven en México simplemente porque ellos no les han reconocido. A mi, no es importante. Yo conocía alguien mexicano en mi clase cuando tenía 13 años. Era blanco también, pero yo simple pensaba es interesante y único, nada más.
Porque son gillipollas, hostia!
Por qué tuvieron segregación racial hasta los 60.
Latinoamérica es un caso especial, por qué nosotros tenemos muchas razas, pero no nos peleamos más bien, el mestizaje forma gran parte de nuestra cultura.

Two things to keep in mind: 1) Latino isn't a race 2) Spanish is a European language.
i can't believe you have to fill out forms or papers and be specific about your race/heritage/nationality. like wtf?! people aren't just one thing. there are white latinos, black latinos, amerindians, asian latinos, mix-raced of all kinds...and it goes on. and why does it even matter for a job at an office what color you are?! like,you wouldn't give someone a job because they are black or latin? the f*ck is wrong with the USA. it never ceases to amaze me.
***** ok. but can you tag many of the squares? because a lot of people are a lot of races,and it's full of mixed people rn in the USA too...
***** oh,ok,it's good you're proud of what you are :) and yeah,at this day and age labels and remembering every single thing you have in your blood is kinda hard to explain in a box or a few inches of paper,lol.
***** haha,yeah. thankfully i won't have that problem because they don't do that in my country,and it's a country based on immigration so everyone has different races and countries in their heritage,no one gives a damn,haha.
***** maybe,but there are very few black-skinned people in my country and there is white and brown latinos in the middle class and the poor one so if you poor here,you are poor,though there is a little more of the darker skinned in the poor class,but since the economy and everything is shite here,is hard to get a better life if there are little job opportunities,and a big part of the population is middle-low class,so most people worry about unemployment,education,malnutrition,corruption,crimes,robberies,femicides,domestic violence,etc. and not much about the skin color because most people suffer from that (especially femicides and violence,they happen in every social status) :/
***** haha,i know they are f-up xD though maybe because other countries that aren't anglosaxons have bigger problems and many don't have whites or they are a minority. but still,my country is super diverse and has a lot of races, just like australia or the USA,but we aren't as stuck up as some english speaking countries or "proud" of being or not being something,like you had a say in the matter or it made you better to be anything

Latino
For well-educated people who are native speakers of a Latin language (French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Romanian, and others not so well-known), a Latino/Latina is anyone, regardless of race or nationality, whose language and culture is mainly from the Latin world. The Latin world is composed of the Latin-European countries and the places around the globe that they colonized and left a real strong mark.
The Latin European lands became Latin when The Roman Empire took over them for centuries giving them its culture. These new Latin lands did the same to the lands they conquered in America, Africa and Asia.
In the U.S.A. (where global education is basic) the word took a wrong turn meaning only one of these three things: 1)the people from Latin-America; 2) All Spanish-Speaking people; and 3)Pure or mixed Native-American people who speak Spanish even when their customs may still be very indigenous. Sadly, ignorance has allowed many people (even people from Latin America) to believe the U.S.form.

He just wanted whoever read the form to know that you spoke Spanish even as a foreign language. .
Polish people and white latinos have similar accents
Eso solo sucede en los estados de México donde la mayoría de la gente es morena y tambien su nivel educativo es bajo.Si te hubiese atendido un doctor en el estado de Jalisco, o en Aguascalientes, o en Sinaloa, o en Nuevo León, o en Sonora, O en Chihuahua, o en Durango, etc, etc, muy seguramente eso no te habría sucedido, porque en esos estados la mayor parte de la gente es de piel blanca, y por lo general, tienen un nivel educativo más elevado.
Yo soy de Jalisco, y una vez que fui a Acapulco, una persona empleada en un hotel me pregunto que de donde era yo, le contesté que de Jalisco, y me dijo que él pensó que era de otro país, como Estados Unidos o Canada.En Acapulco hay muchos turistas de esos países, como en todo México.
The caucasian/hispanic struggle is real
Bruna Reivax how??
Il Zm The struggle is that people in the U.S. seem to believe that the term "Hispanic" refers to race when that is inaccurate. Rather, it is a culture (with many sub-cultures) made up of diverse races, ethnic backgrounds and nationalities. In addition, we are united by the fact we speak the same language, but even then, we have varying dialects/accents. So contrary to the mainstream narrative, that the media/society (in the U.S) likes to perpetrate portraying hispanics as all Mexican, brown with bowl cuts, there is a large white population throughout Latin America and Spain. Being said, to answer your question, white hispanics are put in a racial limbo because, in the eyes of the U.S., they are not considered white. However, if they were seen in public without anyone aware of their Hispanic background, they would be considered white just as any other "American" . You see the struggle that Joanna had on the checkbox for what race she was, and the way her colleagues were perplexed by her being white and Hispanic. Hope that answered your question.
Juan Acosta Ah, y sobre lo último que has dicho -muy dolorosamente cierto-, también ocurrió con irlandeses e italianos. Eran vistos como blancos -aunque muchos italianos directamente no, por ser sureños- hasta que abrían la boca. Y eso al final fue virando hasta que se consideraron yanquis de primera, y por tanto, blancos.
Pero me da a mí que esta vez no ocurrirá lo mismo. Latinoamérica compone un grupo étnico enorme, y aunque una parte de ellos sean blancos, la grandísima mayoría son mexicanos mestizos, que acabarán fagocitando a los blancos anglos. El análisis lo estoy haciendo desde la perspectiva tan etnocéntrica de un yanqui y joder, es difícil.
Duke Of Prunes haha poor little thing, out of arguments already ? So you need to shit on my country to have some weight in the discussion, that's not going to happen, besides you are american even if i was a god from another plain of reality you would still feel superior, that seems natural on you guys nowadays

I'm a white Mexican and 2 times when visiting the US, people have asked me if i'm polish... it's really weird to me that both times people thought of that specific country to make the relation. I wonder if i have polish roots.

They thought i was lying. I felt the racism, now i cannot enjoy my culture because i don't look like someone from my culture (according to them). That kind of shit makes me hate americans a little bit.

I mean I have dark hair, brown eyes and slightly tanned skin and Im considered white pretty much everywhere in Europe, the only exception being the UK, where I got told once that I wasnt "white WHITE". I guess the anglophone world is a bit weird about this
Alejandro Garcia maybe both since "latino" is really about the language and it was the Spaniards whp brought the culture. Many latinos Florida of Spaniard descent here so why not

I told her I was Mexican and was born and raised here, and she replied that she thought I was Canadian or gringo because I´m so pale ... also years ago an angry man passed me on a street in the middle of the day and yelled at me that "my government" just deported him to Mexico, and sarcastically he added that I should "be proud of my damn president of the United States"... come on, give me a break! !!
chú pame los cocos
fake
Hilarious! Why can't more people understand that Hispanic/Latin American is not a race? In Latin America there are people of European (white), African (black), and Amerindian descent and in many countries (eg. Mexico), the majority is of mixed race (in the case of Mexico: indigenous and European). Of course there are white Latin Americans who are purely of European descent (eg. their ancestors may have all come from Spain). To say that all Latino people look one way is like saying that all Americans look one way, which certainly is not true. Ethnic diversity exists in Latin America just as it exists in the USA!
+Ethan Burg In fact, ancestors of "caucasian latinos" don't came only from spain but also from other european countries as well. Here in Brazil, portuguese, italians and germans were the three bigger european imigrations in numbers. Spaniards come only in fourth :D
You're right. Latinos of European ancestry don't all trace their lineage to Spain. I just gave Spain as an example of one European country. That said, Europeans (and for that matter, people in general) from many different ethnicities have immigrated to Latin America over the years and have contributed to the diversity of many Latin American countries.
Hi, Ethan! I understand where you were coming from. I wanted to point out that Americans often see Mexico as only biracial and as a buzzword for all of Latin America. By the way, after having lived in Venezuela and traveled throughout Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and part of Colombia, the stereotypes run both ways. Latin Americans, generally, view blonde, blue-eyed people as "Americans", without regard to the ethnic diversity that is the United States.
We, Americans, very much inherited the Anglo-Saxon construct of race and that only the "White" race was fit to achieve greatness in the world. That's on them!
Ethan, I appreciate your thoughtfulness in this issue. You seem like a nice guy!
+Mr. LA Tours You are right and I agree with you, well Mexico recieved many European, Middle Eastern and Asian immigrants...but I don't think that much to make a difference...European a little bit, but Middle Eastern and Asian not enough to make such a large percentage of the population. Mexico has almost 130 million people and Middle Eastern and Asian probably all make 2 million altogether, and I'm being generous with the number. That's not even 2% of the population. Mexico is probably like 60% Mestizo, some sources say 80% but I think the number is a bit too high and they probably included people who are mostly indigenous or mostly european in the figure (castizos, indomestizos, etc). Then after that I think it's a tie between Whites and Indigenous and then after that it's the Blacks then Asians who make the largest percentage of the population. However I will agree with you that most Mexicans have at least some Black Subsaharan African blood in them. like somewhere in between 4 and 10%. I read an article about that. I even did a DNA test in 23andme .com and I have roughly 6%.

Me refiero a que me parece un termino racista ya que todos los sur americanos son diferentes y el hecho de seais metidos todos en un mismo saco me parece demigrante es como decir que todos los de asia oriental son chinos o que todos los de oriente medio son arabes o que todos los africanos son de piel oscura... por que no es asi... la ignorancia yankee es lo que realmente me incomoda
Rafa inc los yankees piensan que Europa es un país y que México es un continente. Mucho no le puedes pedir. Además a mi también me molesta el término latino, prefiero ser llamado americano, pero los yankees se adueñaron de ese gentilicio.
Además creen que todos los hispanoamericanos son mestizos morenos, cuando hay países con mayoría negro (ecuador, haití) otros con mayoría blanca (Argentina, Uruguay) y otros mayoría indígenas (Bolivia, Perú)

yup tell me about it.
Hi. 1:03 is my life. My whole damn life...
I hate when latino people who live or was born in the US pretend they don't speak Spanish at all, some of them even feel offended when you talk to them in Spanish. :(
Exactly they act like they're embarrassed or something. It's annoying.
Yes it annoys me too I'm Dominican and I hate when some of my friends or cousins act like they don't understand Spanish
+Lizania Rodriguez America is a continent lol
Lizania, the pressure for Mexicans to know Spanish will remain high. I don't think it is fair to punish an American of Mexican roots who didn't learn the language, but it is also impossible to always avoid the subject. Some Mexicans will feel betrayed if you cannot or will not speak in Spanish to them. I guess that the Spaniards truly conquered the hell out of the native groups and their descendants.
K1NG, Dominicans are especially under pressure to not reject Spanish!
what pisses me off is that sometimes even latino people make fun of me for being "white" -.- people always make me feel less latina just because I'm "white" skin. It's so frustrating because I'm really proud of my heritage and wouldn't trade it for the world. But it can also be frustrating that once people do find out you're latina they stereotype you hard. There's no winning lol
Cause Latino people are decended from europe due to Spanish and Portuguese empire. That why you are white.
Fuck that shit.
Rosco 0 Asian(Chinese/Korean/japeness) ect is yellow don't get mix up between White and yellow. European = white, Asian = yellow
you should tell that the original latins had white skin, and that brown skin actually in fact makes you more south/central america indigenous, and in fact, less latin.
***** I feel you completely on that.
Thank you. As a literal light skin Mexican I get this way too much. And now i even get “oh your just pretending to be Mexican” bitch no I’m not😂
All white people in Mexico are actually Russians airlifted to Mexico via stork. Didn't you know that?
I hate when someone says 'you don't sound like Sofía Vergara or mexican. I can't believe you're latin'
Being Mexican doesn't always equate having an Accent ! Mexicans have been in The United States for a long time . generation's . For many Mexican Americans English is their first language therefore they do not have an Accent . There is nothing wrong with having an Accent if you have one but thinking or stating you don't sound Mexican is stereotyping. Remember The States from Texas to California belonged to Mexico once so many Hispanics of Mexican Descent never crossed any borders .
Other people: Where are you from?
Me: I'm from Colombia
Other people: Oh so you are Canadian (British Columbia)
Me: Nope
+Jorge Mario Bolaños Calvache the C-O-L-U... NOOOO GTFO NO YOU WILL NOT SPELL COLOMBIA LIKE THAT!

Y si me ven hablando español con mi familia en la calle piensan que somos mexicanos D:
PUTO DONALD TRUMP.
jorge, when you tell them that you are from colombia, have they ever asked you: ''so, you speak Colombian? i thought you spoke mexican!'' :)
Average Americans are not stupid nor dumb, they are just ignorant about foreign cultures, they just can't believe that White Latinos also exist. It always makes me laugh when I watch Hollywood movies and see when the put a Mexican or something referring Mexican culture, and Flamenco music is playing in the background, I'm like "WHAT?", Flamenco is from Spain, nothing to do with Mexico, Is like watching a movie with White American people and Polka music playing in the background.
+Frank Jaegar you are wrong boy, you must study a lot , for example in the library of the congress, wikipedia, metapedia, yes, metapedia the web encyclopedia of the white stormfront in usa , Canada, Europe, there you will find that 40 percent of the population of latinoamerica was Caucasian , because Latin america was created,colonized , populated and conquest by European powers after the conquest and defeat of the American native civilizations, cultures and nations, from the 16 century until 20 century millions of people from Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and also Britain, Scotland, Netherlands, Sweden, germany and other countries of Europe settled there , like military, clergymen, bureaucrats , tradesmen, peasantry, settlers, and others like these, also the Europeans arrived o went to the Americas with millions of Africans slaves, the difference between north America and central and south America and the Caribbean is more cultural , social, philosophical, economical and also racial because in Latin America the multicultural and interracial ties are the law from the beginning of the colonization because like in Europe the people from the south and Mediterranean areas of Europe and also of the continental Europe are more multicultural and multiracial and brown , yes than you , fucking people of the British islands or the Scandinavian peninsula or Germany and the black forest , the Italians, Greeks, Spanish and Portuguese are more brown than you little pinky and also they have Celtic and Greek and more Roman roots than you and Germanic also but with a mixture of phoenician, Carthaginian, black, Arab , Jew, Mongolic , Slavic races and others, Latin America is more rich, complicated, multi-diverse society and if you don t like what i say or you don t care you can study in the net, in the libraries, the public schools, the universities, the books from scientist, historians and politicians of the Anglo Saxon world from the 16 century until now and they will improve a little your understanding of this little world called earth...

If you never been in Latin American, not just Mexico, then you certainly don't have any idea what you are talking about, I'm not talking about Latinos in the USA, I'm talking White Latinos in Latin America, and there is a huge population of White Latinos, believe me, in Brazil, in Argentina, in Colombia, in Puerto Rico, etc, of course the majority is brown, but there is a lot of White Latinos, and it's not abnormal.
Latinos are more white than darker. In my opinion and Where I have been or people that I have meet. Mostly Venezuela, Brazil , Argentina. They are more common in Europe than mexican....
@frank Jaegar indeed the 40%of population of Arentina and Uruguay has some Italian ancestor and other 40% has spaniard...
Sao Paulo is the city with more Italian descendents of the World (much more than NYC).
Are you sure that White Latinos are abnormals?
I can relate to this so badly. But I mostly get comments from other Latinos. I was always told that I'm to white to be latina even tho both of my parents and grandparents and great grandparents where born in El Salvador and Chile and they have a paler (I'm not sure if it's spelled right) complexion. I was also told that a was a fake latina because I wasn't born in a Latin American country and instead I was born and raised in Canada. It hurts my pride because I was raised in a latin community and I was taught about my culture. Sure I don't know what it meant to be born and raised in a Latin American country but I know my culture.
Sorry about my little rant there 😅
It’s always the other Latinos who are like “ you look gringa, you don’t look Hispanic at allll “
I hate more the word "Latinos", when latin are an european culture.
This is like hating the word "America" because some European dude's name was Amerigo and the whole continent was named after him. Or saying that we don't speak Spanish but Castilian. It's absurd really.
Latin isn't a native language anywhere anymore, so I don't understand your point. The Italian language however is less than 150 years old. But it seems that you don't know much about the Roman Empire either.
Now, we are called Latin America since the XIX century because we speak a language that descends from Latin (those being the romance languages; read up on that). We are called Latin America for that reason. It doesn't have anything to do with Italy at all.
For the record, you want to write "Colombian" instead of "Columbian" if you don't want them to be pissed. I assume you have lived in the States for a very long time but that's no excuse.
Steven Arias Some linguists would argue that Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are XXth century Latin. :P
The term latino is dumb because it segregates all other latin cultures. I mean, a spaniard, a french, an italian can't call themselves latins in the US without confusing americans. It is very annoying to be confused with southamericans.
The correct term for South and Central America is Hispanoamérica, since there are other latin languages in Canada.
Linguists know that Romance languages descend from Latin, but they're not Latin. I'd like to know about those linguists you mention because they clearly don't know what they're talking about.
Anyway, I think you're going with prescriptivism here. I can't put up with this kind of correctness [sic].
The term "Latino" might've been absurd back in the XIX century, but it's now known worldwide and I doubt it's going away any time soon. The term has been around for almost three centuries and it managed to be relevant up to this day and therefore it was lexicalised. Many other regions have been named "Latin regions" but they were renamed over the years. Latin America, however, has evolved; it isn't something that merely describes the romance-speaking portion of America; it evolved and it's now an identity, one that belongs to those who live there.
That being said, how does it segregate other Latin cultures? Is there something such as Latin Culture? As far as I'm concerned Latin American countries have more in common among them than romance-speaking countries do in Europe. Perhaps you're reading too much into it.
Now, the term Hispanoamérica can be as valid as Latin America. There's no "one is more appropiate than the other" (unless you come from Brazil). My point is that language changes and you should stop assuming things. Instead, see the context and/or do some research: why is it called Latin America? Why isn't Canada there? Where does the whole thing come from? Those kind of questions are the ones you should ask yourself before making an statement on something you're barely knowledgeable about.
***** You're getting all worked up over this. Sueing someone is the way Americans deal with their problems, not mine.
It's your decision to use whatever you feel like using; I'm not against that. I'm only explaining why Latin and Hispanic are equally valid when it comes to someone's identity and/or heritage.
I live in Canada and when I tell people that in South America there are whites, asians, and not only Black and indigenous people, it blows people’s minds lol
Im from Toronto this is true
Canadians like to act like they're superior to Americans yet they act the same way lmfao. It's OK Canada. We know how y'all treat the first nations community over there 😂
Someone said to my husband, "for a mexican, you're not as bad looking"
Marigen Beltran Are most of mexicans bad looking??
The person who said that to my husband seems to think so.
My mom would say this and she's Latina 😂😂😂😂
famousindesrtime You realize you're saying this to white latinos right?
famousindesrtime Neither mixed raced people or blacks. 😂😂😂
This makes me feel so much better. I remember moving into Central Florida from Miami and most of the Hispanics themselves asking if I was really Hispanic.
In Arizona, some white people talk about Latino immigrants in front of me because they don't see me as one of them. I'm the "whiter Latino." No, I'm supposedly not really one of them, but what the heck. So they say all the racist crap you might imagine white people would say in Arizona about immigrants. But I can't call myself a "white Latino" because then my Latino friends think I'm putting distance between them and me as my brown brothers and sisters, and I'd then sound like I'm trying to use my "white privilege" which I suppose works when white cops don't stop my car and beat me up. But when I got into a fender bender because a guy hit my car from behind, sending my car onto that of an African-American male's car, the outraged African-American driver came out and started shouting at me thinking I'd hit his car on purpose, and I got my cell phone out and called 911. He started screaming at me, "Oh, calling the cops, the white thing to do!" Man, I was just calling 911, not the cops, because there had been an accident and he thought I was a "white guy" calling the cops on him, and I'm just a Latin guy who's been hit from behind. Shoot, that's my white privilege experience. I've never defended racism of any kind, but apparently people read me as white, so wtf? I can't win.
I call my white skin "my camouflage". I love seeing people's expressions when I start speaking Spanish. It's even beter when my "Latino" looking brother is with me because he can't speak it. So when people start talking to him he just looks at me because he wants a translation.
I even had a while guy from Maine tell me I didn't understand the "plight of the Latino community" beter than he did, because he learned about it in college... Nah, I just grew up in a Latino household, with a Latino family and in a Latino community... While speaking Spanish.... I have no idea about the "plight of the Latino community"...
It's a no win situation sometimes.
@Drom Assault stop troll
Drom Assault “dirty indigenous”, you are most certainly a troll and if you are not, than you are a racist.
@Drom Assault You are being extremely racist! So africans and indigenous are dirty?
sos Latino. No te dejes engañar. Sabes que en Latino America todos tenemos colores de piel distinta. Eso del Latino negro y el latino blanco es mas que nada estadounidense. Si abris la boca sos un latino mas.
A menos que no seas de Latinoamerica. entonces sos directamente estadounidense.

Jjajaja esto es tan real, fui a eeuu con un grupo de argentinos hace un año y todo el mundo se quedaba como WTF en todos lados y decian ustedes no parecen mexicanos ni hablan como ellos y se quedaban re como error 404 not found jajaja era tipo si soy latino por ahi alguno mas entendido sabia que no todo latinoamerica es mexico (por la inmigracion) y que en Argentina somos la gran gran mayoria blanca
Verdad? Yo soy de latinoamerica (argentina) y soy re blanca y déjame decirte que en Argentina las razas abundan.
error 404 not found JAJAJAJ LPM
en argentina tambien hay mucho mestizo asi como en Mexico hay muchos blancos , la cuestion principal es que mucha gente de las nuevas olas migratorias son de regiones donde las poblaciones mas pobres suelen ser las que mantienen mas rasgos indigenas

@Lewendoski 19 literall, si sos blanca/o y les decis que sos latino se quedan tipo no puede ser dios por que no vuelven al colegio??
I'm a Mestizo Mexican, and even I was offended by this.
The stereotypical latinos 🤦♂️
Eso me acuerda la última vez que estuve en USA y que una señora me dijo que era racista de mi parte decir que soy latina cuando mi nombres no lo es y porque soy blanca... o cuando de la nada alguien me dice que estoy tratando de robar la cultura latina y que estoy tratando mucho (aunque quienes me dicen eso son blancos, nunca un latino... como que creen que están haciendo bien señalando a alguien que creen que está robando cultura cuando no es así (principalmente porque aunque hablo español desde que nací tengo un fuerte acento francés gracias a mis padres)... mientras los latinos al oirme me sonríen y nos ponemos a hablar)
Soy costarricense, nací y me crié aqui, soy latina... no todos los latinos son morenos... aunque en mi país siempre hay un gracioso que me comienza hablar en inglés creyendo que soy gringa!!!
Me pasa exactamente lo mismo, Mis abuelos maternos son Alemanes y ellos viven allá, y mi padre es de México y yo vivo con él, mi mamá generalmente nos visita en Navidad y esas cosas, yo nací en México, Pero como mi familia por parte de mi mamá es súper blanca, pues yo lo heredé también, además de que tengo un asento muy feo... para hablar Ingles y Español, Pues la gente en México y en Estados Unidos, creen que digo que soy Latina para encajar en algún circulo social o algo así... Básicamente me dicen que soy Posser por decir que nací en México...
Exacto... a mi me dicen a veces que juego de extrangera por mi acento francés... pero sí... en USA creen que todos los latinos son morenos y tienen nombre en español...
Dominique Thomas Y en el mismo país de donde eres algunas veces... Yo vivo en México, y la mayoría de gente con la que hablo me mira mal o algunas veces se ríen en mi cara, en plan "Esta gringa se cree Mexicana, que ridícula" La verdad me va mejor en Estados Unidos, la gente no me pregunta de donde soy, o al menos no tanto como en México.
Valeria Caro Tengo una amiga mexicana que es blanca pero su madre no lo es... ella me dijo que cuando vivía en Mexico, más bien la gente le preguntaban a su madre "que linda es la hija de su jefes" o cosas así... los mismos mexicanos aunque no fueran blancos...
A mi en CR, aparte que de pequeña la gente de llamara Gasparín y que, incluso hoy en día, la gente se molesta cuando me corto el cabello (tengo un cabello no tan común aqui)... las cosas han mejorado cuando hubo más blancos aqui... aún así, aún hay gente que me habla en inglés apenas me ve XD
No iba a comentar, pero cuando leí que te decían gasparín no lo pude evitar xD a mi me decía igual jajaj
Here in Puerto Rico we have: Whites, blacks, blondes and even me I’m a ginger😂
We have been called the "rainbow" people, because we come in all colors and races. Even sometimes within the same family.
My moms side of the family is Puerto Rican (I am not tho, I am adopted, but still latin lmao I’m Italian) and anyways her side of the family is mixed with Black, white, straight hair, wavy hair, extremely curly hair, afros, brown skin, brown eyes, green eyes, it’s like a melting pot of genetics 🧬😂
I was born in Argentina ...my grandfather was Germen.....no no im not a Nazi !!

"You look like someone on Irish money" jajaaa get this every day of my life 😅😅😅
This is what happens when Americans treat a language as if it were an ethnicity. Not all Spanish-speakers are Mestizo! Spanish-speakers come in all colours. Chile and Argentina are each something like 90% white.
James Bowden yup. I'm from Argentina , I'm white and I have legit seen less than 10 black persons in my city. there are mixed people tho. but lots of whites
Uruguay is White as fuck too.
I've seen many brown people in Uruguay
This is kinda how I feel lol because for some reason nobody pays attention to social studies because people have a hard time believing that I'm Latina because I'm black like they are a whole Caribbean population that gets excluded from Latinas/Latinos people don't understand that latino and Hispanic are different things
The spicy food one is me 😂 I hate when people just assume I like spicy food cause I'm Hispanic 🙄 (certain types)
me too
Me too. I can't fucking stand it one bit!
Jayy Fizzle Heck yeah! They tell me I'm not a real (insert Latin American nationality) and that pisses me off. Like, leave me the f*** alone.
Jayy Fizzle try telling people you don't like black beans. oooo oo the looks.
spicy food is only a thing in Mexico. for the most part in the rest of the continent the food is not spicy ... specially in Venezuela and Colombia the food is simply mild corn based food (like 90% of it involve corn maize... and also we don't eat beans!!)
The ONE THING that annoys me the most is this:
Me: I'm Latina
Them: Oh, are you Mexican or Spanish?
Me: No, I'm actually Brazilian.
Them: Oh, do you speak *Brazilian?*
Me: I- sure-
We know Mexicans cuz they have the best food we live them more than the other countries like Brazil Argentina Chile Colombia

I've never seen a black black mexican. I know there are carabean, central and south american blacks, but never seen a black mexican in my life.
+Seymour Butts I lived in mexico and never seen a black mexican, i don't know why
yes, very strange. There is blacks everywhere in latin america except Mejico and maybe Argentina
+Seymour Butts No, guys, there are black mexicans! It's shockingly impressive that not even Mexicans know about Costa Chica, it's full of black mexicans! Full, guys, full! They are "mixed", sure, but they still keep the phenotype that people denominate "black": tight, voluminous, pitch-black curly hair, really dark skin (there's where it's easy to see the racial mixing, their skin tone changes from medium dark brown, to dark brown... haven't seen yet a truthfully black looking skin like the ones you see from some american tourists), tendency to easily built muscle, rounded nose, very little body hair, round eyes, lot's of melanin everywhere... but a considerable percentage of them are short xD Indigenous people from here sure are short!
The Costa Chica region expands from southern east Guerrero to southern west Oaxaca; and actually there are towns composed solely from black descendants! They're a vast majority in there; there's even very interesting and funny stories on how the black slaves that the spaniards brought to Guerrero participated in the Independence, (because here they got their freedom too, ya' know?). Just read the statistic by INEGI, there are aprox. 400,000 black mexicans; and the majority of them live in Guerrero, and then, in Oaxaca.
Maybe it's because I'm from Acapulco, and here I grew up interacting with a lot of black-descent people since, here you'll see them pretty often in the east marginal zones from the city (which collides with Costa Chica); or in the coast of Costa Grande. My niece herself is a mulata.
There are black mexicans, I'll stand for the acknowledgement of the dear " negros costeños" xD
+Laura Lala Wow you just blew my mind :) I'm gonna have to travel to Costa Chica to see it with my own eyes.
+Seymour Butts Well, then I trully hope you have a delightful journey ^^ Just be sure to choose a nice and safe town; and bring medicine if you get dizzy easily, the roadways in Oaxaca and Guerrero have a fame of their own O.O
