The Hispanic vs White thing is really confusing to me.
Are Spaniards from Spain white? Do they call themselves "Hispanic"? What about Portuguese people from Portugal (Not Brazil, I know they're mixed as all hell)? Do they call themselves "Hispanic"? Or do they call themselves White?
Spaniards are white, hispanics are mixed. Brazil is mostly hispanic. It doesn't matter what they call themselves. There are not enough white people there for jews to bother with the race baiting anti white war so they probably don't have a social conciousness about race.
What gets me is how people in the west use "Latino/Latina". The only "Latinos/Latinas" should really just be people from Romania/Italy/France/Spain/Portugal, as their modern languages directly descended from the Latin language.
I don't refer to myself as "Germanic", "Anglo" or "Nordic". So why do we tolerate Hispanics referring to themselves as "Latino/Latina"? It's dumb.
I'll correct the next Hispanic person I see when they refer to themselves as "Latino/Latina". "You're not Latin. Unless you're from Latin-language derived Europe. You were born in the west, hence you're Hispanic. Get it right"
Good luck with your demand that everyone adjust their language to suit you. How very progressive.
No one considers Spaniards to be latinio. That word has a meaning different than what you think. Language is an ever changing tool. The common meaning is the meaning.
