[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spain is a country in Europe... Native Europeans (people who are ethnically European) are white.[/quote]
You're wasting your time. I doubt the OP even knows that Spaniards and Latinos are not the same people. She seems like the type of person to refer to Latin Americans from Spanish-speaking countries as Spanish rather than Hispanic.

I've known (uneducated) Americans who literally think that the Spanish language originated in Mexico. Some of them even call it "Mexican" rather than Spanish. 🥴[/quote]

OP here. Yikes, you are a salty person!

Luisa could be appropriated in theory from either Spain or Latin America, so what is your point? [b]Also, I know several non-Spain Spanish speakers who refer to themselves and their communities as Spanish,[/b] so idk what to tell you.[/quote]

DP here, and that's really weird.   It's literally false.

I SPEAK English, but I don't refer to myself as English, or that I'm from an English community.

Exactly, that would be like Americans calling ourselves English just because that is the language we speak or Rwandans calling themselves French because they speak French. (Some Americans are ethnically English, but that is an entirely different subject.)

[b]The only English, French, Spanish, etc. people are people that are from England, France, and Spain.[/b] The rest are anglophones, francophones, hispanophones/Hispanics, etc.

Somehow people can comprehend that speaking English doesn't make you English and speaking French doesn't make you French but can't comprehend that speaking Spanish doesn't make you Spanish.[/quote]
The bolded is really all that needs to be said. You're not Spanish if you're not from Spain.[/quote]
