Why do Americans refer to latinas as spanish

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

I mean they even call themselves Spanish

 

[Jean Jacket]

Imma start calling Jamaicans and regular Brehs English.

Start a trend.

 

[Jean Jacket]

They are retarded.

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

They are retarded.

They are but they do it too… I mean they don’t even get offended so why should the common person care

 

[WaveMolecules]

Why are cucumbers pickles and not pickled cucumbers

 

[CBalla]

Bruh we call Native Americans “Indians”, this is America we do not care

 

[Jean Jacket]

Why are cucumbers pickles and not pickled cucumbers

Marketing.

 

[Reality]

Imma start calling Jamaicans and regular Brehs English.

Start a trend.

These dudes really in here saying "Well they all speak Spanish, duh" without a hint of understanding the irony

 

[Seoul Gleou]

New Yorkers call them spanish because...they speak spanish

everyone else calls them Mexicans

but it's america. everyone is painfully ignorant and stupid

 

[Ozymandeas]

They are descendants of Spaniards. But it is dumb though because some people really don’t know that Spain is in Europe or that they’re the mother culture or that Spaniards are white.

 

[Jalether]

We don't know the difference to be honest

Nor really care


Just want em to bend that ass over


We got bills to pay

 

[Afrodroid]

Most americans to this day think that brazilians speak spanish

 

[Jatigi]

I mean identifying so many people by language is weird to begin with. Only on occasion do you here terms like anglophone, francophone, anglosphere, etc.

 

[Jalether]

Cuz they speak spanish. What else do all the latino countries have in common? Serious question...

besides the ignorance of your statement,
Some latin countries speak portuguese as well, why aren't brazilians,uruguayans and paraguayans referred to as portuguese then

Nevermind latin european countries like Italy,romania,andorra,moldova et al who have their own language

 

[Pure Water]

Ignorance. Simple as that.
