"We are not Hispanic; Not Latino"

[Aizen]

they are finally figuring it out all these people are native americans, its a reason the government gives them names like Latino & Hispanic which make absolutely no sense when you really think about it.

Native American pride is rising. When people casually call them "Spanish" they always correct those people and say, "I'm not Spanish and don't use it as some lazy, generic word to mean many different people." Sure, intellectually they know a person does not literally mean "Spanish" as in a white person from Europe but they still say, "In no way is that the biggest or most important part of me." All the terms "Spanish" or "Hispanic" or "Latino" pretty much first and foremost (perhaps even only) glorify the European side of things. It's raising red flags with people and the resistance is growing.

This is what Tainos look like.

You see any Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and Cubans that look like that?

yes.

People these days get butthurt over every damn thing. Who gives a fukk. Like everyone said, tainos were practically wiped out anyway. Im sure my light skinned dominican ass has no taino ancestry

 

[beezy]

yes.

Interesting.. In my 25 years of existence among Dominicans and Puerto Ricans and trips to both islands, I have yet to come across 1 that looked indigenous. Maybe to the untrained eye they might, kinda like people who say all asians look the same.. but they dont

I've never met any either. The only indigenous people I've met in the Caribbean were from Dominica.

Only problem is the Tainos/Arawaks in the Caribbean were practically wiped out by the time colonialism and slavery got into full swing. The people's of PR,DR,Cuba etc are blacks, Spaniard whites, or mixes of the two with a tinge of native ancestry. Most of the time you can tell just by looking.

Really the only difference between them and African-Americans is their slave masters spoke Spanish and ours spoke English. The rest is just divide and conquer bullshyt.

They weren't wiped out of Puerto Rico. 62% of Puerto Ricans have that blood in their bloodline.
Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and D.R. they were wiped out 90% by the time of colonialism.


I still don't get the dictionary definition of HISPANIC.
HISPANIOLA is basically Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
How can you be "Hispanic" and automatically be stemmed to SPAIN if you don't have European blood.
A Latino from Mexico and a Hispanic from Puerto Rico are two different blood lines.

The island was originally named La Isla Española (the Spanish Island), shortened to Española, and then translated as Hispaniola in a Latin account of the island... When that was translated to english and french, the name stuck.

So basically Spain conquered the area, exploited the area, and then renamed it.

So Haiti couldve had Spanish as the official language and not Haitian Creole or French if the cards were played different years ago?
