Can we stop referring to Latinos as a racial group please.

[Oceanicpuppy]

You coming from Latin America makes you Latino but Latino is not race. Can we please stop this charade. Their are cac Latinos, Afro latinos, Latino natives, Asian Latinos and mixed race latinos. Time to start calling it for what it's. No one gets this shyt mixed up when we talk about Americans or Canada. All of sudden people get dumb when it comes to Latin America.

Agreed but it's not gonna stop lol.

And don't forget "spanish".

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Yup.
Posting this thread on the Coli is going to stop people from referring to Latinos as a race.

Definitely a linguistic based group. But in America everything is about race so if we perceive them as a group similar to how we view blacks how can you change that?

I don't refer to them muthafukkas at all

 

[Athenna]

I always thought Latinos were heavily mixed people..

a lot of them can't even speak Spanish. There like two generations deep in America. But their races are what the are. I don't accept that because they obviously know the difference between races in their home countries. The praise lighter skin and the Afro Latinos are a severely disfranchise group in Latin America. How are they close to Africa Americans? Afro Latino yes but the rest ?? Hell no They clearly act within white supremacy with in their own countries.

It's not. I know your Latino/a and this truth bothers you.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

And this only for one group. Xicanos, Mexicas.

Name one good reason why it should bother me? It's really not a big deal
