[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Affirmative action breeds the sort of cringe inducing cynicism on display here. In my case, some of my relatives can be traced to Spain. My kid is in an immersion school. We are not Hispanic.[/quote] That's right, you're not. You're Spanish. Hispanic and Spanish are different. Much like English and American are different, even though we both speak the same language.[/quote] [b] Hispanic refers to people who speak Spanish, that includes Spain and the Latin countries but not Brazil. Latinos refer to people of geography[/b]. That includes the Southern and Latin continents, including Brazil but not Spain.[/quote] Ok my grandmother is from Trinidad which is an English speaking country, but she is from a family that immigrated to Trinidad from Venezuela a few generations earlier. Would she be considered Hispanic? She nor any of her relatives speak Spanish, but they "look" Hispanic. [/quote]
