I noticed many hispanics, specifically some proud Mexican-Americans living in the USA as well as other latinos, see themselves as their own "race".
Now I know hispanic is a cultural term for somebody FROM a spanish-speaking country or of that origin/heritage, but why don't most of them seem to realize that SOME of their roots are european in origin (spaniard blood) as well as their language which originated from europe/latin dialect.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be proud of their skin and native heritage (they should), but rather than hold an animosity towards white hispanics, spain spanish (which i heard they can be bad too so i'm not taking sides) and white people in general, why can't they learn to open up and get along with them a little more?
I know some white people are hostile, but i see more of it come from latins here in America, including from white-hispanics who think because they have the hispanic label that doesn't make them caucasian?
