[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latin American societies are highly racially and class structured. There is a premium placed on European ancestry and features. People commonly point out that they are Spanish to differentiate themselves from the native peoples and to indicate that they are a rung higher on the pecking order. Look at Latin American television - the broadcasters, actors, etc all look like they came right from Madrid. You see few native people represented. This is true of the Philippines as well. [/quote] I grew up in an area with a lot of Phillipinos and I never heard them refer to themselves as Spanish. [/quote]
