[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I meet someone and haven't heard them speak and they are [b]obviously Hispanic[/b], I might deliberately enunciate more clearly and use smaller words for the first few sentences. There are many recent immigrants here. But then when I hear them speak English well, I'll talk to them like anyone else. I would do the same for anyone who is a tourist here from a country where English is not the first language. I want people to be comfortable and be able to communicate. [/quote] What makes them obvious? people use the Hispanic and Latino/Latina words interchangeably but isn't it actually Hispanic for those from Spain, or of Spanish roots and Latino for those claiming Latin America their home (yes, we know we all came from somewhere) - educate others.[/quote]
