Hey,
All I'm saying is...I'd rather be called Pedro than Peter.
Yall out here lying your butts off if yall see "Jose" and picture Bob Saget in your heads
Yeah Spaniards were victims of their own success (colonization and settlement of Americas)
When people think of the spanish language, names, culture, etc in North America, for the average person, mexicans, cubans, PR, Cuba, Colombia, DR first come to mind.
( but not the intellectual or well-traveled- for these people Spain comes to mind, they dont care about Latin American culture like that)
I mean, how many spaniards from Spain are in USA? A few thousands, miore if you count white Cubans in South Florida as actual, pure-blooded Spaniards. But you got millions of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Colombians, most of them who can't pass as pure blooded whites, and are as Spaniards as hamburger. They are related to Spain the same way Afrikaners/Boers in South Africa are related to the Netherlands/Germany.
That's why the permanent and first thought of Spanish/Spanish culture in the minds of the average American are ''latinos''.
for a second before they pick up the phone to call her. that said, i hate boring ass overused white names as well
