[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Spanish - from Spain. Whenever I tell people that it makes me Hispanic - they don't believe me. These are educated people too. I have given up. Whenever I tell people who speak Spanish but are not from Spain (but from another Spanish-speaking country), they seem to think it is cute that I speak Spanish but don't really accept me as being like one of them.[/quote] It must feel good to reiterate how stupid even the educated Americans are... Sigh. Now, in the U.S. "Hispanic" most commonly refers to mestizos from Mexico and Central America. Maybe you should not give up on your education, PP. As in, when in Rome, do as Romans do.[/quote] It does not feel good, it is just a fact. [/quote]
