[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. Is Mestizo offensive? I'm honestly not aware of this and if so of course I don't think it should be brought back. I use it because that is the only term that I know of that describes people who are Spanish and American Indian mixed. [/quote] I should also add that it's not that I have a "need" to sort people out, but I find it peculiar that our society uses the term Hispanic to racially categorize a group of people when Hispanic is not a racial designator. For those of you attacking me for asking this, I ask you, what race is Erik Estrada? Most people would say Hispanic, but as has been pointed out over and over again that is not right. So what race is he then? [/quote] OP, here are my suggestions. 1. Consider learning more about a term before you propose that people use it. 2. Stop saying what "most people" would say. And if you want to know what race Erik Estrada is, ask [i]him[/i].[/quote]
