I guess that's for him to know and you to wonder isn't it We all have our eyes open . . . well, most of us do anyway.

Most Hispanic nations are 2nd World, i.e. developing. I'm not sure what the point of your post is. Is it to make the point that immigrants come to the US because it is richer? Well, yeah, that's what immigrants do. That's what your ancestors did, probably. I doubt they went to the US to make themselves poorer. Oh, and the entire world knows that the US is the richest and most powerful country in the world. Trust me, we are never allowed to forget it.

Brazil is NOT Hispanic, because its people are not descended from Spaniards. You might want to use the term South American, if you wish to include them.

The Jedi Master's point is clear. Maybe he'll let us in on it. Go out and find a Brazilian and try to call him Hispanic, but make sure you duck! Portugese = Spanish = Italian = French = English And he has the nerve to call me and others on the board a moron!

Real World

Spain is european. I think we all know Qui is refering to Central and South America.

Real World

Actually the Spanish language has 2 dialects ... one of which is Latin America dialect.

Spaniards are Spaniads not Hispanic.

Hispanic is gradually becomming a useless term which is unliked.

People from south of the border living in America
prefer to be called Latin American. Those visiting prefer to be called where they are from: Colombian, Dominican, Guatemalan... It is more accurate because they were not born in Spain ... Spain was perhaps 1/2 dozens or more generations ago...think French Canadians who are more Canadian than French. These people are more Cental America than they are Spanish.

Ohhh ... they hate that NEM ... those are fighting words to them.

Also ... Cape Verdeans who are Portuguese emigrated to the
Cape Verde Islands hate to be called Portuguese ... they are Cape Verdeans.

Also...Also ... those from the Azores like to distinguish themselves
from Portuguese. They will politely tell you they are Portuguese from the Azores....similar to Sicilians who are Italians.

Touchy...touchy world we live in ...

BTW I am a Rhode Islandian American.

Scientifically we are all Africans I believe...Ethiopians is it?
