John Leguizamo on Latinos - "We're the oldest ethnic group in America after Native Americans"

[Black Man of the Nile]

Wait, are Black Americans even making the claim we are the first ethnicity here? I fail to see why this is even something we should be arguing about. Let him argue that out with the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and Norse (they claim to have come here before all of them). This is really not a fight we should even be participating in.

We been living here since before the American Revolution.

Yea, I know. If he is claiming to be the second ethnicity here after the Native Americans, then I would assume he is not talking about the US alone, but the Americas overall.

 

[Mowgli]

Funny how they quiet until ados speak up

 

[Samori Toure]

We can get into semantics but the reality is they were in New Mexico, Florida first before the rest the English. He’s not exactly wrong but it’s a weird flex for him to say as a Colombian.

The USA only had 13 colonies. New Mexico and Florida were not in those original 13.

Yea, really some clarification of his statement needs to be made. If he is talking about the US, then he is talking complete BS. If he is talking about the Americas over all (continents), then he needs to take that fight up with those other groups I mentioned in a post before.

There's nothing Latin about those indigenous people except the languages and customs adopted by colonizers. And ethnically those people look vastly different than the ones representing those nations now. Hell he doesn't even look like one, he looks mixed, which he is.

I know the first guy that came from the island of Hispaniola was in the US in 1613 , plus the Spaniards were here before the English.

Yeh when Jamestown was happening Dominicans had a 110 year head start. We just don’t learn about pre-British influence in America. It mine as well not even happened

That's very true and if you wanna be technical the only true Latin people in the world are Italians

 

[Software]

By Latinos he means indigenous Americans mixed with Caucasians? Cause that's all they really are.

 

[timeless]

Oh yes. True Latin people are basically mixed. The Moors, the Greeks, the Germanics etc.

 

[IAMDetroit]

I mean he’s not exactly lying

Yes he is.
Olmecs. Egyptians. Moors. Phoenicians all came here.
Cristofer Columbus came with a guide and translator, A moor, that was Muslim.

 

[Cadillac]

Even if that's true

That does not pertain to USA.

So what he said is invalid.

@OP

You are promoting nonsense posted by a grifter who uses race/ethnicity as a hook to con people.

Same grifter who was on camera in a South American country fawning over the local women and harping about how much better they were in looks and temperament than the women from his ethnic group.

Eventually the Latino grifters he's beefing with will locate and post that footage, and laugh at his dumb ass.

SO INSTEAD OF SPEAKING
ON WHAT LEGUZAMO SAID IN THE VIDEO HE PERSONALLY
UPLOADED TO THE INTERNET
YOU CAME IN HERE TO shyt
ON A BLACK MAN?

He’s been cosplaying as Rican for years, turns out he’s Colombian and Italian. His last name is a dead giveaway.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Hes trying to be some kind of activist

He need to just fall back and accept the inevitable Caucasian status that Latinos are going to get in America. They ain't some kind of struggling underdog group that deserves respect. they're practicing forms of white supremacy in their home countries
