[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend 's family is from Cuba and they say they are Spanish because their ancestors were from Spain. Spain conquered the S.Am. Countries so most of their ancestors are from Spain. Why do the jersey shore kids say they are Italian when they are clearly American? Why do red heads say they are Irish. it's their ancestors,why would you want to erase their family history?[/quote] My sister is a redhead and she has never said she is Irish. I'm not from the North East, but I would assume that the Jersey Shore kids who are referring to themselves as Italian are indeed of Italian descent. I guess it's possible that kids from Guatemala call themselves Spanish out of kinship for the Spanish settlers that settled Central America, although that seems like a stretch to me. After all Americans don't refer to themselves as English. I am hoping that someone of Mexican/Central American descent can answer this question for me. [/quote]
