Answer 2

because we percentage the Spanish language and the heritage or Spanish colonization. Quiet attempting to stir issues up. i'm Mexican and Nicaraguan... So i'm ethnically Latino. The Latino way of life helps us to be in the route of one yet another. Anglo way of life only separates a and dilutes all and sundry until eventually they recognize no longer some thing about their ancestry.

Answer 3

They were Hispanic before they came across the border.

Answer 4

Everyone concentrates on the problems we're having in this country lately;
illegal immigration, hurricane recovery, wild animals attacking humans in
Florida .



Not me. I concentrate on solutions to problems. The result is a win-win-win situation:


+ Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border
+ Use the dirt to raise the levies in New Orleans .
+ Put the Florida alligators in the moat.
Any other problems you would like for me to solve today?

Answer 5

Man! i think you are the one confused if you don't know the difference between Hispanic and Mexican. It's like knowing the difference between Caucasian and German.

Answer 6

An illegal told me they want to be called "Hispanics" due to it being a nicer word than Mexican. ( He said it sounds less threatening )

Answer 7

Well since they snuck into the US I would say regardless of what they wanna be called I would just call them illegals.
Now one thats legal thats a different story.
If they are 'legal aliens' then they can call themselves whatever they like.
If they are naturalized citizens then they are Americans, who happen to be of from Mexico.
