First off, Chuck Norris you are a s _ _ p _ d _ u_ k _ _ g _ s _ h _ _e !!!! If I knew you personally, I would be embarassed to tell people I did... And no they don't get offended.. It's hard to tell by someones looks... I'm Italian and half the time people think I'm either Greek or Brazilian or from Russia, people don't care, just as long as you don't put them down like our sweetheart Chuck Norris...

I don't get offended. I don't expect people to know where I come from simply by looking at me and I'd rather be asked the question.
However, I'm not like most people. I don't care about labels. I'm a member of the Human Race.
The difference between Hispanic and Latino is that one is a Government issued label. Most latinos will tell you that they'd rather identify themselves than have someone tell them that they are His Panic!
Personally, I'm an alien from outer space coming to study this planet and learn what I can! Just Kidding! I'm a Mexican...well, since June 9th I'm a citizen...but I'm still a Mexicana.

i'm mexican but wouldn't get offended if someone mistaked me for a puerto rican or any other hispanic race.
some people automatically assume that if you speak spanish, your from mexico. notice i said SOME.

You should do a test...Throw a piece of crap on the floor and if someone eats it up than he must be Chuck ^. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't pick it up since he is already full of it.

You should do a test. Throw a burrito on the ground. If they go for it, they're Mexican. If they don't, they're obviously some other nationality, or just not hungry.
