Well calling a random "Hispanic looking" person Mexican is just rude lol...that's like calling all Asians Chinese...and Spanish is the language of course...but I just do my best to call folks what they want to be called..yea it can be too politically incorrect at times, but I just like to be respectful of others...the same as I'd want from someone else :yeshrug:
If u look like a messican... lie and cheat, and steal and mow like a messican, then it's a messican.

what i never understood is.... the spanish invaded mexico and southern america which is why they speak spanish... raping and pillaging their countries... and yet them being called spanish is wrong

but calling us african is ok, even tho we haven't been african since 200 years ago and shyt

If people think Halle Berry and the like are Black, then Hispanic will continue to be a race.

probably because there's no such thing as race, but hispanic isn't a culture.

Nobody gives a shyt.
If you ask a Hispanic person what race they are 9/10 they saying Hispanic.
If they don't give a shyt why should you.

Confusion and false pride is great for business...








Everybody says it doesn't matter until stats on race and ethnicity look funny in the light, jobs get taken, or we're arguing that Zimmerman is a White Hispanic and that he still benefits from white-supremacy, even though plenty idiots tried very hard to convince us that "he isn't White, he's Spanish (or Jewish)":comeon:
