[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The reality is that most people identify with their ethnic country.[/b] They are Mexican, Guatemalan, Argentine, Peruvian, etc. None of them say they are Hispanic or Latino. Those are labels created by white people. Similarly, I don't identify as Caucasian non-Hispanic (or whatever nonsensical category I've seen recently on medical and school forms). [/quote] Their what?[/quote] The person who was born and raised in the US (and thus is 100% American) who identifies as Mexican because their ethnicity is tied to Mexico. America is their country of origin, and Mexico is their ethnic country. [/quote]
