It would be nice to let them know the difference if you know.  |
Look, both you and Mercedesjin are looking for PC terms for races. You claim Latino is more correct than Hispanic. How can you truly call someone something when it isn't correct?
Latin America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here it says that Latin America includes Brazil. But anyone who knows Brazil knows that their culture and language are very different than the other countries included. How do you explain that? So calling someone Hispanic is technically more correct than Latino in most cases.
And Mercedesjin, don't post that stupid paste up about Latinos for the 6th time. That just says you have no proof and you can't find a better case to prove you are right.
